Two tips: 1) If you are a local, take a day off and go mid week. Crowds are much lighter. Look up a crowd calendar for the park to inform your choice. 2) The fright fest event over the fall has light crowds during the morning on coasters, but becomes a zoo by 2 pm. The haunted attractions aren't worth it since they are an upcharge with long lines. Dedicated haunted houses or attractions are scarier, better put together, and not as crowded if you pick the right days.
Very much agree with everything said here! I just went this past weekend for the first time in over a decade and some thoughts- HOLY value. a ride lineup like that for 50 bucks a ticket is insane. Nitro and El Toro remain some of the best rides I've ever been on. I love the new additions of the bars scattered throughout, especially the new retro bar next to wonder woman. And as a theming guy I'm so happy with the new efforts to avoid the plopping-an-off-the-shelf-coaster-in-a-parking-lot feel. The queue and backstory of jersey devil was great! And the justice league dark ride really impressed me too! Not Universal level quite yet, but way better than I remember from my last visit. Some negatives- The food was horrific. Stale pretzels, overpriced school cafeteria chicken patties, I could go on. And how about a damn music loop update? It sounds untouched from 2010. Overall it was a great weekend!
Excellent review of my home park for the 40+ years I've been alive (NYC here). Your #1 and #2 coaster are so correct and your last-place coaster also equally correct and needs to go (the last time we rode it, after years of abstaining, our headaches were so awful, we vowed never again). Really great observations and assessments!
little off topic but you NEED to go to californias great america. it has such a good RMC raptor called railblazer. its one of the shorter RMC raptors but it packs a punch. another coaster you should try is gold striker and flight deck gold striker is a very fast GCI woodie when it is warmed up. and flight deck just makes you grey out maybe even black out on that first loop. its also the 2nd inverted coaster ever made so, you should try out those 3 someday.
This was a badger of a video. Now that I've gotten over my fear of coasters (in no small part thanks to your video on it), I'll have to check these parks out!
For some reason when I went there were literally no lines. No wait for Ka, the longest line I waited in was probably joker ironically, El toro was only like 10 minutes as well.
Nice review! The additional of water availability would be nice - can you bring in an empty bottle, are there enough filling stations, etc. Always something I keep in mind when visiting places that require walking/standing around in the hot sun. Badger.
hot tip, if you go to six flags parks late, like a few hours before closing, they offer an evening flash pass bundle, generally $30 for 5 rides with almost no wait time. i've done this at discovery kingdom and magic mountain. the mid tier flash pass is the best value if you will be at the park for the entire day. the low tier makes absolutely no sense since for a little more you can reduce your wait times an additional 40% and the highest tier is just not worth almost double the mid tier.
Hey we went yesterday (Tuesday 27th July) and we followed your suggestion for which rides to do and when and it was perfect. so thank you! Wasn't crowded so we went on a few rides several times. Superman was closed. My best was Nitro and Wonderwoman, then Kingda Ka. Thanks for the helpful content.
When I was growing up, we had season passes. I easily second bee-lining straight for Nitro off the rip. I rode it 4 times in a row without getting off bc we were among the first in the park that day and ran.
I don’t know if this is new for 2024 but when I went to Great Adventure in early June they had signs with QR codes in front of every coaster and you could buy a single use flash pass for the ride. You selected what time you wanted to ride and once the time came they told you to hop in the flash pass line. The price varied depending on the ride. For Kingda Ka we paid 10 bucks a person. I wouldn’t recommend using it for more than 1 or 2 rides cause you’ll eventually be paying the same price as an actual flash pass but if you have one or two must ride attractions it was great. The line for Kingda Ka was 90 minutes without it and with it we waited 30-45 minutes.
This is one of the best parks in the nation for thrills no doubt. Kingda Ka is a phenomenal number one for me (the rush is so much fun) and rides like El Toro, Jersey Devil Coaster, Nitro, the non-Green Lantern B&Ms, Zumanjaro, and the many flat rides make this a truly cracked collection. The guest experience is also overall great for the top-notch operations and very nice staff. I love this place every time I go.
Even tho I'm a season pass holder of cedar point and have gone so many times I still watch that vid normally. And I will definitely be watching this a lot too
@@Coastoons agreed with that, however for the end of the list I would definitely do manta then kraken or just kraken to warm up for Mako as nothing really readies you for that hypercoaster drop lol 200ft is still 200ft, thanks!
In my opinion, this is my favorite Six Flags park because the operations are excellent for me, the ride collection is stellar, & the soundtracks for Kingda Ka and Nitro are excellent.
I grew up going to this park every summer since middle school and yeah Nitro first is still the meta. It cuts the line time on kingda ka too because most people wait for KK first and then spread to the rest of the park. If you hit Nitro > KK then El Toro is a 20-45 minute wait on the busier days and 5-20 on the short wait days. I once rode Kingda Ka 23 times back to back on a school’s only day where we had 10am - 11:30pm. God bless and safe riding! 🕊
Great adventure was my first six flags. It’s still my favorite I’ve been to so far. Nitro is still my favorite as it was my first tall coaster. I was wondering why nobody was in line for green lantern at first when I went. I knew why after I got off.
I've been on all 5 b&MS at this parks, all were amazing! Nitro had a 5 minute wait because of the 2 trains operating. It might be controversial but Nitro is just better than el toro. Green lantern though... It was good but it was my least favorite. My neck/back area started hurting. I kept the bicycle seat away from my privates. So, yeah the only ones I have left is Jersey Devil, Lil Devil, Kingda Ka, and Flash when it opens
Magic Mountain is nicer... El Toro Feels like I'm getting ripped in half. Nitro's sneaky best is drop off the brake run. Standing coaster like Green Lantern....don't stand up when getting locked in. slouch a bit. Then when it locks you have ability to push with your feet to avoid crushing your friendlies
Literally just watched his ranking every park in Florida video yesterday, and then a coastoons six flags great adventure review right afterwards. What are the chances. Btw your florida video was really good, and I loved you collaborating with all these other RUclipsrs. I would love to see one ranking all the parks in CA, since it is my home state, or some other like Texas, but either way you've been making really great content, keep it up!😊
⚠️Personal tips for this park!⚠️ Go on a Friday all day. No I’m not kidding, everytime I went Friday in the summer it wasn’t too bad and was able to hit everything Do NOT get food here, it’s way too expensive, staff can get confusing (went with my family one time and they never got me my food, here to find they never even charged for my meal) just go right outside the park, there’s a Wawa right out on the strip GO THERE Hit Kingda Ka around early afternoon, usually get less wait time and hit El Toro in the evening.. it’s a night and day difference (and hit back, there’s a choke point in the front of the station, push to the back Buy an all day locker, it’s necessary with Kingda Ka, El Toro (kinda now) and Jersey devil speaking of.. Buy a flash pass for Jersey devil or hit it asap. At the time of writing it’s running 1 train and a small line can be 30 mins (you also get free ride lockers for using flash pass, don’t ask me why just there). Do Superman in the evening, should be a shorter line. Hope this helps with someone going!
Get breakfast before, or dinner after. for quick food near, Wawa is right outside the park. I usually just get a snack and a drink to make it through the day
A lot of this is outdated. Skyride is dead but should return hopefully if they buy a new one. The safari is not drive through anymore, it’s just trucks and the one inside the park opens on june 29th then weekends only Other than that, good vid
Funny thing, Batman The Ride was the FIRST rollercoaster that I ever rode. When I was younger like 10-16 I was always afraid that I would get sick if I rode any of these rides. I wasted like 6 years of my childhood for no reason. I now LOVE rollercoasters and my favorites so far there are NITRO, El Toro, and Batman. I have not been to the park in years so I have not tried Jersey Devil, Wonder Woman or Sky Screamer.
Honestly for the food with me and my family it’s not the best, but we are legacy platinum members it’s really cheap I’m into finances and it’s cheaper for us to spend time at the park and eat there than go out.
Wow, I was there years ago. I am surprised they haven't done something about GL . Like the man said, Do Not Go On This Ride If You Are A Man... I went on it and I Still Regret It... And it's been Years....
yeahhhhh bruh, this is fucking awesome. always love ur vids and don't let anyone hate bro. Also I went to cedar point and I think im ready to marry it. Hot take MAVRICK> Stell vengeance
hmm I strongly disagree with your strategy on getting the most amount of rides in at least for this season. You should NOT go to Nitro first. Nearly every single ride except nitro currently has only 1 train running. The 3 times I went this month, Nitro had the smallest/no line cause they had two trains. The wait was at max, 5 minutes during the day. Jersey Devil and Superman on the other hand, has consistently had incredibly long lines and it's probably best to go to those first. Jersey Devil for example had a 2 hour wait during the day. El Toro just opened this week and I went on it so can't comment on the line for that (no line when i went) for sure but I imagine it would be super popular.
Do you really not know how to position yourself comfortably on stand up coasters? It's really simple. B&M stand ups like green lantern and Riddlers are so much fun
Last year the option to use the Flash Pass (FP) watch was not available, and I had to use the Six Flags app instead to reserve rides. For the 2024 season, can we rent the FP watch again?
Bro came back from his dungeon finally for his monthly rent💀

Love Railblazer and Gold Striker. Love, love, love. Flight deck I mean it's fine. The swoop down low to the water is satisfying.
YESSSSSS FINALLY MY HOME PARK REVIEW
SAME I WAS JUST THERE I GOT 4 RIDES ON EL TORO

This was a badger of a video.
Now that I've gotten over my fear of coasters (in no small part thanks to your video on it), I'll have to check these parks out!
Hoping to get over there in august, this overview is extremely helpful! Maybe you could make this into a series by reviewing different parks too 😅
For some reason when I went there were literally no lines. No wait for Ka, the longest line I waited in was probably joker ironically, El toro was only like 10 minutes as well.
What season/time did u go?
Thanks for this me and my friend decided to go for the first time, and this helped a ton 👍
Why did u stop uploading ur my favorite theme park RUclipsr
You know it’s a good day when coastoons posts

4:32 The key to Skull Mtn is ride in the back car because then you get nice airtime on the drop with a very limited restraint.

Can you do a ride warmup guide on Sea World Orlando, I’m an enthusiast and I grew up in Sea World Orlando lol just want to see your take on it.
Journey to Atlantis -> Ice breaker -> manta -> anything else
@@Coastoons agreed with that, however for the end of the list I would definitely do manta then kraken or just kraken to warm up for Mako as nothing really readies you for that hypercoaster drop lol 200ft is still 200ft, thanks!
Already went once this year and I’m planning to go back at some point next week! Thanks for the review 👊🏾

Do you think you could do an ultimate review for six flags over Texas?
This is the first time I haven’t known what a beat came from on your account

"Best first drop on any coaster" X2 would like to have a word with you
Great adventure was my first six flags. It’s still my favorite I’ve been to so far. Nitro is still my favorite as it was my first tall coaster. I was wondering why nobody was in line for green lantern at first when I went. I knew why after I got off.
Bro your music choice is fire 🔥

My neck/back area started hurting. I kept the bicycle seat away from my privates. So, yeah the only ones I have left is Jersey Devil, Lil Devil, Kingda Ka, and Flash when it opens
Also I went on zumanjaro when I was 7, it was great and my upper lip was pushed up
2 months bruh miss ya
Seems like he’s trying to appeal to the GP
Magic Mountain is nicer...
El Toro Feels like I'm getting ripped in half.
Nitro's sneaky best is drop off the brake run.
Standing coaster like Green Lantern....don't stand up when getting locked in. slouch a bit. Then when it locks you have ability to push with your feet to avoid crushing your friendlies
Most of us will like Nitro more than El Toro?! I know Nitro is great but that’s a bizarre take.

Gotta disagree on Green Lantern. I like it 😊
Another banger video that makes me want to visit this park even more…
Also Badger
Waiting for that six flags great america review next👍🏽👍🏽
You left out the second best airtime in the park Runaway Train!
El toro was sadly closed when I went because something’s always wrong with it smh
I’ve been waiting for thisssss (for like 3 days)
Knowing that I will never be able to ride Kingda Ka before it closes saddens me every day.
why is there no more video?
⚠️Personal tips for this park!⚠️
Go on a Friday all day. No I’m not kidding, everytime I went Friday in the summer it wasn’t too bad and was able to hit everything
Do NOT get food here, it’s way too expensive, staff can get confusing (went with my family one time and they never got me my food, here to find they never even charged for my meal) just go right outside the park, there’s a Wawa right out on the strip GO THERE
Hit Kingda Ka around early afternoon, usually get less wait time and hit El Toro in the evening.. it’s a night and day difference (and hit back, there’s a choke point in the front of the station, push to the back
Buy an all day locker, it’s necessary with Kingda Ka, El Toro (kinda now) and Jersey devil speaking of..
Buy a flash pass for Jersey devil or hit it asap. At the time of writing it’s running 1 train and a small line can be 30 mins (you also get free ride lockers for using flash pass, don’t ask me why just there).
Do Superman in the evening, should be a shorter line.
Hope this helps with someone going!
Coastoons please drop a vid
The only bad thing about going into great adventure is having to step into jersey
I've heard it's a coin toss as to what's actually open that day
I went today it’s amazing and my home park!
Get breakfast before, or dinner after. for quick food near, Wawa is right outside the park. I usually just get a snack and a drink to make it through the day
A lot of this is outdated. Skyride is dead but should return hopefully if they buy a new one. The safari is not drive through anymore, it’s just trucks and the one inside the park opens on june 29th then weekends only

Hey coastoons, I’m starting to ride roller coasters, and I am in wildwood right now. Have you tried the three big rollercoasters there?
why did i go to six flags on that exact day
edit: i checked and i went one day after bc the flash opened
Granted, I didn’t really find this helpful since my family has had season passes to great adv for ten years but it was still entertaining to watch
Recently skull mountain has added disco with lights so it’s not even in the dark anymore I don’t really care but just a tidbit
Phil 💕 said Johnny rockets was the best place when he had it at the garden State Plaza
