November 25, 201213 yr I went on Great America's Condor last Summer. It is, in my opinion, one of the best flats HUSS has ever made. Thanks for sharing!
November 25, 201213 yr Author That would be the same Condor: http://www.greatadventurehistory.com/Condor.htm
November 26, 201213 yr I didn't know there was another coaster out there, besides Lochness Monster, with interlocking loops. Is it still there?
November 26, 201213 yr Author Nope. Lightnin' Loops. It got split up and met separate fates long ago. Six Flags was once a huge believer in ride rotation. One part still runs as Diamond Back at Frontier City in Oklahoma. The other became Python at Six Flags America, but has since been scrapped.

November 26, 201213 yr Author I miss Orient Express so. It was a great ride, riding much more like Tennessee Tornado than most Arrows. Then again, I also miss Zambezi Zinger.
November 26, 201213 yr And the link above has a POV of Beast without brakes on the first drop.... I know just bringing up dead news over here..

March 10, 201511 yr ^ I like how that name has become ubiquitous here, but absolutely nowhere else. At least on the public Internet as crawled by Google.
March 10, 201511 yr Had no idea our Condor was from Great Adventure. Learn something new everyday. And there is still time to learn more.
January 1, 201610 yr Author Make 2016 your year for great adventure at New Jersey's Finest Theme Park. More Flags! More FUN!
January 1, 201610 yr Definitely agree with Terpy that new members should check out NJFTP! Went in 2014 and by far one of the best, most beautiful parks I've ever been to. Watch out for the violent ejector air in the first row on El Toro.
January 1, 201610 yr Great Adventure is an incredible park. Park staff? Not so much. But in terms of aesthetic beauty and ride quality, it's amazing. I'll end with this: The back of a train of El Toro and Big Droppy Thing ( ) at night are 2 of the most insane experiences ever.

May 22, 201610 yr I went on Great America's Condor last Summer. It is, in my opinion, one of the best flats HUSS has ever made. Thanks for sharing! I have visited SFGAm on about five different occasions now, and only on one of those was Condor operating... Fortunately, I seized the opportunity to ride it and it was one of the best flat rides I've ever experienced. Now, I wonder, HUSS fault is it that the ride has seen so much downtime?
May 23, 201610 yr Author It's Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom--like Drop Tower, but attached to the front of Kingda Ka. It's quite amazing.
May 23, 201610 yr It's Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom--like Drop Tower, but attached to the front of Kingda Ka. It's quite amazing. Ugg, I lead such a sheltered life.
May 23, 201610 yr We call it Big Droppy Thing because the actual name is hard to spell, especially those of us who don't talk about NJFTP all the time.
May 23, 201610 yr Zumanjaro is one of the most amazing drop rides I have ridden. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
May 23, 201610 yr I just checked it out. Nope. Amazing to some. Oh no I'm having a heart attack, here I come Elizabeth, someone call in the helicopter to me. I'd ride Ka, though.
June 17, 201610 yr Found this floating around on Facebook....figured some of you (aka Terp) may enjoy the look back at NJFTP! http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/06/six_flags_great_adventure_through_the_years.html
