Nitro (Six Flags Great Adventure)

Nitro is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey.

Since its debut, Nitro has consistently ranked high among steel coasters in the annual Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today, peaking in third place during its tenure.

Former WWE wrestler Mick Foley slid down the handle of a detonator as fireworks exploded above the queue line and one of the trains exited the station.

In the summer of 2014, on a Friday afternoon, Nitro passengers found themselves stuck part way up the first 233-foot high hill of the ride.

Ride operators climbed up, helped the passengers out of their seats, and down the stairs, NBC News reported.

[32] On Sunday, July 11, 2021, Nitro was temporarily suspended after a complaint was made that a restraining lap bar had unfastened on one of the trains.
