Everybody! :)
Seriously though, this thing looks wicked! The layout is great, and it is going to deliver some serious airtime.

No, that thing that looks like a coaster is just some new telephone poles, honest.

Great Adventure is already a good park--now it will be even better. However, only time will tell if Nitro can compete with Millenium Force.
WOW! I was expecting a Raging Bull clone (and hoping for an Apollo's Chariot clone!), and instead we get this? Look at those camelbacks and speed hills- this looks like its going to be an airtime machine! I can only begin to imagine what those horizontal loops will be like? I thought that Six Flags would pull a fast one on us and announce a Flying Dutchman as well, but now I really don't care- Nitro is going to be more than enough!
I can't wait 'till opening day. 230Ft sounds good to me! It's higher than A.C./R.B. and even all three S:R.O.S!! The layout looks very interesting.
Looks like a real winner to me. What do you get ehn you combine Raging Bull and Apollo's Chariot - NITRO!!

Only four posts before someone compared the thing to Cedar Point as "competition."
99% of Ohioans don't go to Jersey to ride and vice versa. We've been over this.
And Millennium is still spelled with two N's.

This thread has been brought to you by the letter N, and by the number 2.
Yet another CP tie-in, the Nitro secret was as well kept as Power Tower. I love denials of rides half-constructed. :)

Oh you mean that's not a new 'Skyride' that they're putting in? Oh that sucks!

If there is no bridge into the descent, then why is the drop height only 215' from a 230' lift hill?
Apollo's Chariot has a drop of 215'.

Easy, 15' off the ground at the bottom.

Man, and all this time I was hoping it was going to be called Superman, Ride of Neon.:). And is it me or does that logo look just plain boring. At least the ride itself looks promising in layout.
I can't wait till i get out there for the first time this summer. That looks sweeet!

Nitro: The Coaster With the Longest Pullouts Ever
LOL, seriously though, this coaster looks extremely good. And I finally see what that weird S Curve thing before the helix is going to do! That element looks rather nifty, I must say. The bunny hills at the end are pretty interesting also, they vary in height, much like the ones on Apollo (although not nearly as much of a difference). This thing should pack quite a bit of airtime into its layout, and it has enough twists and turns to keep my interest going throughout the whole ride. Seems like we have a winner here!
