If you like heights and thrills, this is the one for you. It's very tall with intense drops and a great view of the whole park and surrounding area from the top. The restraints and seats were comfortable. We were fortunate to be able to walk right on and enjoyed the ride! read more

Nitro is a great coaster at the park! While there's no upside-down action, there's still a lot of thrill from huge drops and airtime. The very first drop itself is incredible! The view of the lake is also pretty nice as well. read more

Wonderful ride. Not recommended to new coaster riders or young children though. Intense drop. But overall amazing ride experience, though the line is generally 45 minutes long. To avoid long lines try going off season and in the morning or get on line 20 minutes before park closing. read more

A fantastic coaster with true speed, agression, airtime and views! This hard-to-miss Six Flags offering had team members excited for us to ride, cheering everyone on. Comfortable ride seats and a short wait for our Six Flags Holiday in the Park visit. read more

Although the park gets a new ride every year it seems, Nitro will always hold the title of best coaster in the park for me. Built back in 2000, this ride boasts a 215ft drop on the first hill going like 80mph and the track runs like 5,394ft. This is the only coaster in the whole park that is an absolute must ride for me every visit. read more

One of the early hyper coasters and at 230 feet and 80 mph, it delivers! That front row is insane with the first drop. Where is the track down? Oh there it is...aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! It's an awesome ride with plenty of air time. And that tight turn midway through is great. The only other hyper I've done is Mako which is a little shorter and slower, but I think it gives you better air time. They being said, Nitro is a beast and a must do every time. read more

Nitro, a B&M hyper coaster, is a fast and exhilarating ride that consistently delivers airtime with excellent views of the forest and lake, and has excellent restraints to boot. read more

Super super amazing times are always in store for when you hit the Nitro and go flying through an extensive length of Twisted turning drops turns and sudden spins! Nitro is a super long ride and totally a great one when it comes to the Coaster world as longer is sometimes better and in this case it is soo much better and just all around fun that takes you ever so high up! One thing I thought was super unique about this coaster as somewhere in the middle of it they have a spiral that sends you spiraling upward in circles instead of downward like the majority of coasters like to do leaving for a totally unique ride about midway through that will leave you wanting more and more! Nitro is very well fitted for this area of the park as it takes you way out into the trees to enjoy your ride with a view if it's during the day and at night taking you into complete and total darkness so you don't know what way your going to be going next it's that reason I think i enjoyed this ride soo much as I had some day rides as well as some night rides each of which felt a bit different as the lighting had changed from seeing where your going to almost darkness something that I totally loved! Overall you can't go wrong with a ride on the Nitro as it's super smooth and all around awesome with it's totally fun layout and fast speeds make it one of the best rides in the park so hit the Nitro and fly on over for some coaster fun! read more

Nitro is a great steel roller coaster that is also a must-check out ride while you're at Great Adventure. It's similar to Goliath from SFOG, except I believe it does go a little taller and a little faster. This roller coaster is massive and I will say, I think Nitro does it a little better than Goliath. I gave Goliath a 4 and I'm giving Nitro a 5 for two reasons - Nitro is older, yet it feels a lot smoother and of course, the few extra mph on speed and few extra feet in height always gives it a plus. The ride length is LONG, so it extends to the back of the park, so you get to see the forest-y areas, which you wouldn't typically see while riding other rides! The ride efficiency for this ride is also super quick, as they are able to knock out 36 riders in one ride, and instead of the typical 2 trains, this ride operates on three. So even if the ride seems like it's a long wait, it goes by quicker as usual. I think this ride rates as a TOP 3 ride at Great Adventure for me. First is definitely Kingda Ka, and then I will have to decide on #2 between Jersey Devil and Nitro. While I do love wooden roller coasters, El Toro is temporarily closed and the future for that ride is uncertain, but if you love roller coasters, make sure to check out Nitro! read more

Height: 230ft Speed: 80mph Thrill: 5/5 One of the best coasters in the entire theme park. Nitro is a fan favorite because it's so incredible. One of the tallest drops in the park. With only a lap bar holding you in place this ride gives you the right about of fear and excitement. This ride doesn't have corkscrews or loops but it's a huge rush to speed down the hill. This rollercoaster also takes a photo so don't forget to pose. I really enjoyed this ride! I know you will too! *please vote below if you enjoyed my review* read more

This was one of my favorite coasters in the whole park. It's super beautiful during a sunset and the first drop gets the train up to 80mph! Wish I could've rode it a third time before leaving NJ and coming back to OK! read more

This is the third best ride in the park and on the other side. I have sat in the front which is really fun. The line does move fast as you can see that the operators try to dispatch a train every minute and they run three of them. The ride itself is pretty fun and a typical B&M hyper coaster as you go up and down and around with the hills at the end. It is really fun, but we tend to ride it once or twice during a visit as the line does get long for this one. It is a long ride for sure, but it is fun and restrains are the clamp shell which is comfortable. read more

This is an ode to my favourite theme park ride in the world. Nitro is a steel hyper-coaster (over 200feet tall) located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. It is the perfect ride which makes you feel like you're literally flying. It rides very smoothly and shows no signs of becoming rough over the years I've been on it. This smoothness and the lack of inversions means that I can get back on again and again and keep riding. The 4 abreast seating with 3 cars running means that the ride gobbles up queues. Allied to the Nitro loading crews always working flat out, this means that I've never had to wait more than 20 minutes in line. The restraints came just over your hips, giving an air of freedom which is restricted by over the shoulder harnesses. Despite having a floor, your feet are also dangling, adding to the sense of freedom. The ride up to 200 feet affords a great view of the surrounding countryside and you get the first view of the ride itself - Nitro's position in one corner of the park means that you can't actually see the whole ride before you get to the top of the first drop. Then, it's an amazing first drop with bags of airtime all the way round the ride. The designers have created the perfect shape on all the drops and hills, giving pops of airtime everywhere and unlike most gravity coasters, you get airtime right to the very end of the ride. Best seats for airtime have definitely got to be at the back. Nitro, I salute you!! read more

If you wanna sh!t yourself on a ride than you can get on line, pretty fun one of my favorite rides

BEST RIDE IN THE WHOLE PLACE. go on this ride. it is so fun and long the drops are great and it doesn't make you feel dizzy. the seats feel secure and safe and it had the perfect amount of drops and rests. went on it twice wish i could go again. !!!!!! read more

One of the best rides at Six Flags. Being on the other side of the park, its usually not as crowded, but the height and speed the coaster is able to get is phenomenal. I would recommend hitting this ride earlier or when the park is able to close, as the lines are usually a lot shorter. If short enough, the park attendants will even let you ride again without having to enter the line again! Definitely a classic of six flags, and would definitely recommend to coaster lovers. read more

If ever there was such a thing as a perfect roller coaster this would be it. The restraints fit perfectly and cause zero discomfort yet keep you safe. As for airtime, you're out of your seat more than you're in it. Even on the smaller hills there is lots of force. And length, this ride almost lasts forever unlike some rides that are over before you know it. Just an all around great ride. read more

It is my favorite roller coster in great adventure.I love sitting in the front.The people running it are so nice.They can spot phones from even half up the Track.Overall it is a good ride. read more

I love this roller coaster!!! The first drop is so amazing. There isn't much to say about Nitro. If you've been on it, you understand how great it is. If you've never been on it, you're missing out. It isn't the most popular roller coaster in the park, but it is still awesome. "Like, it has it's own yelp review page, hello?!" Overall, I love it because it isn't lacking in thrills,excitement, surprises, or just plain ol' fun. read more

Nitro is my favorite coaster in the park! This says a lot, because unlike the Disney and Universal parks, most Six flags parks are focused on thrill rides, more specifically roller coasters. This is an uncommon opinion as most coaster enthusiasts prefer El Toro, the Intamin wooden coaster at the park. However, I prefer the smooth, graceful ride Nitro gives to the violent experience found on El Toro. As I previously stated, this is my favorite coaster and one of the main reasons for that is the restraints. It features the standard B&M clamshell restraints found on all B&M hypers and gigas. They are super comfortable and you feel very open as you zip through the layout at 80mph. Nitro features an out and back layout which isn't that unique, but i do enjoy it. It features lots of camelbacks that have spectacular floater airtime. It also has a unique turn around and a pretty intense double upwards helix. The hills at the end get smaller as the train loses speed from the mid course brakes, but the airtime delivers on every hill! My only complaint is the lack of theming throughout the queue and station. This is pretty typical at great adventure, but the excellent ride experience makes up for it. In conclusion, I recommend riding this at least once on every visit to Six Flags Great Adventure. read more

i love how i can review my favorite roller coaster ever!! and i find it so funny how there are pictures!! This is the best, and one of the longest rides i have ever been on, get a flash pass so you don't physically need to wait on the 2 hour line! have so many memories and need to buy a pic everytime i go on this ride with my husband and our friends. read more

Best coaster at six flags. It's an exciting and thrilling ride without the head pounding and jerks. The whole time we had smiles on our faces. Our group of 5 all agreed this was the best coaster at the park. read more

One of the best roller coasters I've ever been on. It has a very steep drop, and the whole ride is around 2 minutes, more than enough time to scream and wave your hands in the air. Some days, the lines are extremely long, but when they're not, definitely take advantage of riding it over and over. Heck, you should be riding this coaster regardless, it's definitely worth it! read more

Still going strong my good friend,Nitro. Can't it's been 15 awesome years of edorphin and adreline releasing madness action! NITRO starts with the tension rising slow rise of the first drop. The way up goves you a good view of the park and you might even spot your car in the parking lot. This is all forgotten as NITRO decides to take you a ride with an epic almost 90 degree DROP that will have many screaming. The rest of the ride included many twist and turns and wonderful sense of loss of gravity on those epics rises. Its crazy to think you would be flying if not from the safety harnesses. I love this ride and will always visit everytime I find myself in six flags. read more

2nd best coaster in the park.....best is El Toro.

one of the fastest rides you can get on when the park opens.

my son and fiance loves this ride...this was definitely one of the faves when i used to ride roller coasters back in my days...

This ride is amazing! So cool watching the sunset on the way up is so beautiful. The drops are fun it's a very smooth coaster just watch the end. Make sure you sit tight and push back when the ride comes to a stop otherwise you will feel a jolt read more

One of my top three. Everytime I visit, I always go to El Toro, Nitro, and Kingda Ka. I went on Nitro so many times, I lost count. But after all these years, I still love it. read more

Still is and will always be one of the smoothest and best hyper coasters around. Tons of air time hills in and around the lake. B&M at it's finest. Front and back row are great. read more

This is the second best roller coaster I've been on ( first being bizarro).I mean, this has it's own Yelp page. If it has it's own Yelp page, it's gotta be good. When you feel the first drop, it definitely feels like hyper space like it's supposed to feel like. And then you it makes you go left and right and up and down and side to side and up and down AGAIN until you finally reach the end. It's just the most adrenaline pumping experience. When I got off I actually felt refreshed! Thank you six flags! read more

screw this ride. on the ride up, my train got stuck and we were left there unattended for approximately 8 minutes. it gave me motion sickness i threw up my turkey leg on the zero gravity drop. i blacked out during the super spin but slowly woke up during the humps. my lap bar soon unlocked but luckily, it was during the brake. i will never ride this again. the seats are also greasy and sweaty due to the people that sat on before you. i will not be enjoying this thrill again. read more

I went to purchase a ticket for my daughter on line. She said its $47 if you buy on line instead of $70 at the gate. Saving money always good. So I go to check out and there is a "processing fee" of $9! Plus tax. It's still a few dollars less but really a processing fee??? For what! What is the process??! That made me furious! Not because of the $9 but because companies like this use any possible method to take peoples money for absolutely no reason. So yeah I came to Yelp and vented. read more

The perfect coaster. While some other rides at Six Flags have become uncomfortable to ride over the years (Looking at you Batman), Nitro remains a smooth and thrilling ride. You don't have to worry about a bumpy ride, or being tossed back and forth, its just pure thrill and speed. read more
