Great Adventure is an amusement park that you must see! It is 60 miles from Newary, 67 miles from New York City, and 50 miles from Philadelphia. It is the best place to go to in the tri-state area; very accessible, too! It is an experience that packs quite a triple whammy!

Six Flags Great Adventure is right next to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. It is one of the biggest water parks in the entire United States of America. It also lies next to the Six Flags Wild Safari Animal Park. It's a drive-thru safari; home to over 1,200 different animals.

Six Flags Great Adventure is famous its thrilling rides and it is one out of two other Six Flags parks that is opening "The Dark Knight" roller coaster this summer. This modern ride is a combination of the thrill of an indoor coaster paired up with story-telling and state-of-the-art special effects. You'll feel like you are smack in the middle between a battle of good and evil. The Dark Knight is definitely so much more than just a regular roller coaster ride.

The debut of The Dark Knight Coaster was set to concur with the release of the film, "The Dark Knight" on July 18. The riders of the roller coaster would be able to get a sneak preview of the film since the ride opens on May 15 at the Six Flags Great Adventure.

Great Adventure is also hosting a sleep over with a scavenger hunt and all sorts of contests in order to find eight people that would be able to be part of the first ride of The Dark Knight coaster. The camp out will be in the Great Adventure parking lot on May 14. The participation fee for a chance to be one of the lucky eight is $124.99.

Great Adventures, in addition to its thrilling rides, also have other forms of entertainment and shows. The Starburst Thursday Night Concert Series for example, will be returning this year with shows every Thursday from June 29 to August 14. In last year's Thursday concerts, famous pop stars like Ne-Yo, Katharine McPhee and the Jonas Brothers were featured. Great Adventure will also be hosting the Sunday Rocks! It is a concert series running every Sunday nights in July and August. Already, Raven Symone is scheduled to be performing on the 24th of August. Park admission and season pass fees includes your concert passes.

This year, the Great Adventure will also be having the Glow in the Park Parade. This nightly light show will feature state-of-the-art special effects and custom-designed floats. It will have top of the line parade technology with characters, puppeteers, kinetic stilt walkers and much more.

The Six Flags Great Adventure opens on the 15th of May during the summer season of 2008. General admission is $59.99 and can be purchased online for $39.99. Tickets for children below 4'5" tall will cost $29.99, and children under the age of 2 may enter for free.

Last week while traveling in California for Spring Break with my family I had the pleasure of taking everyone to Six Flags Magic Mountain. While my amazing wife looked after our “to short to ride” almost 5-year-old, Brandon (soon to be 9) and I took to the skies by way of steel superstructures and restraint bars. We did convince Catherine to ride The Viper but we didn’t capture it on video.
My son has turned into quite a coaster junkie. Over our last three visits to this park he’s ridden a total of 30 times between the 15 coasters in the park. Brandon doesn’t head for “kiddie land”, if you go to the park with him be prepared to experience everything the park can dish out in the way of maximum thrills. He’s ridden (from lowest thrill to biggest) Goldrusher, Ninja, Revolution, Colossus, Batman, The Riddler’s Revenge, Scream, Viper, Goliath, and Tatsu. On our next visit we’ve planned to round out the adventure by riding X2, and Deja Vu.

So, why all the talk about coasters? Because I have video! Using a Nikon Coolpix S51 point-and-shoot digital still camera in video capture mode I filmed our experiences on both The Viper and Goliath. Our friend Mariel Thomas rode Goliath with us. It was quite a ride. Check them out and let me know what you think! Below the video links you’ll find some interesting facts about these two coasters.

Goliath - Magic Mountain

Viper - Magic Mountain

Goliath

7th tallest drop in the world at 255 ft (78 m)
Max speed is 85 mph (137 km/h)
235 ft tall (72 m)
Max vertical angle 61 degrees
Max G Force: 4.0, Because this is sustained longer than on most roller coasters you can have a grayout or blackout if you don’t compress your stomach as you hit the double helix.

Viper

7 inversions varying between loops, corkscrews, and a butterfly (some call it a pretzel)
Max speed is 70 mph (110 km/h)
188 ft tall (57 m)
171 ft drop (52 m)
Max vertical angle 50 degrees.
Max G Force: 4.1. Very short.. no grayout or blackout issues.
Holds the current world record for the highest 360 degree loop maxing out at 144 ft above ground.
