LOL You actually meant the turn from the station? LOL Thats a joke...

Cause its not a drop. Its a swooping turn. A huge difference. I forgot about that "element" as you call it right when I hit the lift. But, to each his own.

Neither hill is forceless. Both have tons of positive Geforces and lats.


You know an airtime hill isn't very good when it pulls positive Gs.

So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Tetsu, you were either stapled, or went on a cold windy day when the ride was slow, and sat in the middle. Of 80+ rides on Nitro, I've not once gotten "no air," and I've been on it when it almost crawled over the 2nd hill, and there was still airtime. No, it didn't last over the entire hill, but it was there, as it is every single time.

I went either that weekend or the one before...forget which. Ridden slower, gotten air. It, like most coasters, is definitely a better ride in the summer, and that change is amplified over other rides because of the relatively large heights and speeds.

As of a year or two ago, they have tended to staple me more on that ride than El Toro. Not sure the reason for what I'd almost call a distinct change, as the negatives are not that strong and B&M hyper restraints have posed no significant safety problems, ever, that I know of.

This has got to be one of the best premiers for a ride there in quite a while. The line is freaking short. Ive heard of people riding it 7 times in a day. And the ride is awesome. The airtime is by far the best part.
