Jersey Devil Review Six Flags Great Adventure RMC Raptor Coaster

[@starryagent9936]

I think Six Flags was wary as to how aggressive Wonder Woman was as a coaster, and with Toro already filling that gap, they wanted something a little tamer. That’s fine with me. It doesn’t need to be as aggressive as Toro, and this is something that both the GP and enthusiasts will love.

[@CoasterStudios]

Very true!

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

But this still doesn’t look tame at all

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

@@jonathonedwardmiller "a little tamer" than El Toro and Wonder Woman will not be tame, as those 2 are among the craziest rides in the world. "A little less intense" would be more descriptive.

[@NorthEasternMotionProductions]

Only thing is that I don’t think parks think about filling things like gaps. They think about their audience.

[@steveo7771286]

Well this enthusiast finally made it to the park for the first time ever, and was hoping it would be at least slightly more intense than it was, given that Toro was a no go. It’s still a great park. A lot of good quality rides and great atmosphere.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Jersey Devils only problem is the pacing in the second half and the overall pacing compared to the prototype Raptors isn't as good but that doesn't make this ride bad at all. The pacing may be less but it still does some things better than the other raptors, it's longer, more hangtime, more unique elements... And you got to give Six Flags credit for going with a custom layout. It may not be as good but it's different than the other raptors and that's what it does well.

[@Zrj19]

welp, not gonna be custom after 2022 lol

[@d3th2m3rikkka]

The pacing for the first half is fine, actually, the pacing in the first half is better than many rmcs

[@adambomb3619]

That pace isn’t the best but it isn’t the worst rmc

[@alecvip7562]

Pacing is sooooo much better this year. There are different wheels this year, it runs so much faster.

[@ThemeParkEnthusiastNL]

Walibi Holland is Getting A Dueling RMC Raptor in 2025. With A Thrill Side And The Other One Being A Family Side. i Really Hope The Thrill Side Has The Same Pace As Wonder Woman. Coz Then it Will Be The Netherlands's Greatest Coaster Ever!

[@PhonixzGaming75]

Rode it twice 2 days ago, front row and back row, absolutely love it. I’d also give it a 9/10. El toro still #1 though in the park

[@cinoclav]

I rode it twice yesterday in the early evening and came away happy but not blown away. It definitely has some unique elements for Great Adventure and it's very smooth. I just wish it was taller and faster. While that first drop is near vertical, it's not very long. It feels like the front car is already rolling out of it as soon as the last car enters the drop. I'd place it a solid fourth behind El Toro, Nitro, and Kingda Ka.

[@lunatiksburner6376]

This being my home park I was fortunate enough to ride this on opening day. I got the back row and let me tell you, it’s so good. Probably my second favorite in the park outside of el toro.

[@ethanthornburg3586]

i think the single rail design would be revolutionary for indoor roller coasters

[@RJ-tn9rl]

If they could let up on the mid course brakes, the 2nd half would be just fine. Also wish it had more theming, like some fire or fog

[@coastercosmo6154]

If you want it do have like x2 the lines or like x.07

[@RJ-tn9rl]

@Jose V. really? Because I saw a video of it yesterday and the brakes still slowed it down a bit

[@RJ-tn9rl]

@Jose V. that would be nice. Do you think it’s just because they are running only 2 trains?

[@RJ-tn9rl]

@Jose V. that’s so exciting. Now el toro needs to open asap lol

[@MaldonadoAE180]

It's my local park and I got to ride this for a whole day. It definitely speeds up at night and I got to reride it on the same train twice in a row and realized, the weight on the people on the ride can also affect experience. First time was with a bunch of kids second time was with a bunch of grown men and the second time on the exact same train hauled like crazy

[@cccEngineer]

Why does it get faster at night?

[@Lucas-mb9kt]

@@cccEngineer this is six months after ur reply so idk if u will see this or are still curious but it is faster because the wheels warm up throughout the day and there is less friction as time goes on allowing the coaster as well as all coasters to move faster later in the day

[@airbus7373]

I may have been lucky and gotten a great ride on this in the summer, but my ride was insane. The drop is on par with Toro, the MCBR was off, and the pacing was still on par with most other RMC’s I’ve been on. And it exerts a lot of positive G’s on you, unlike most RMC’s.

[@ddavelovesallis]

[@seandillon1359]

El toro, this, and Superman were closed today. Haven’t been on el toro in 7 years. And i was so excited to try this. Once they both reopen I’m going again. Nitro and Kingda Ka never get old though. Bizarro is great too

[@maxhagenauer24]

[@kevinbhieey9188]

I don't think rating a coaster on when it runs "best" is a realistic way to rate them. The simple fact is, the vast majority of rides will not take place in the evening. So an early-in-the-day ride is far closer to what most of the public will experience and is therefore far more valuable.

[@nothanksguy]

I agree, but i also think its important to note how much a "warmed up" ride makes a difference. That way you know whether its worth it to wait until a ride has warmed up.

[@wormyfren8133]

Rode it in the back row in the late afternoon on a 90 degree day, and it was amazing. The first half was a perfect 10, and the second half exceeded my expectations since I did get some airtime and I didn't think I'd get any. Number 2 in the park for me after El Toro, which is not an insult at all since it's freakin' El Toro.

[@henryschreiner]

They have dropped the breaking on the second half, would be interested in an update!

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

Rode 7 times today. Got lucky with 4 back seats. In the backseat you feel everything, and it's a great ride for most of it. Any other seat? You feel something......but just not..... everything? It definitely felt slow in the morning. Afternoon it felt faster after running 3 trains all day. That stall did impress though it felt like it held forever

[@verticalthrills451]

I was able to ride it six times today and I do agree with you on a lot of things. The stall is probably the best element and the second halve does have pacing issues however in my experience the hill right before the brake run can run really fast a give a little airtime. I haven’t ridden any other raptors before so idk if this is a common issue but the way the train and restraints work is not very good. It’s very uncomfortable.

Rode it in the back front and middle. Can say while it is less intense or airtime filled then expected it is more fun and that dive loop is awesome

[@realquadmoo]

So I think of the second half is more calm and tame as a family coaster because it also may help get you ready for the end whereas the other ones are going like so fast and BAM brake run.

The first time I rode this coaster I was waiting for the ride to open. Still has some difficulties but runs well. I had flash pass but i made it into the line before anyone else when it opened that day. Great adventure is my home park and I love Jersey devil.

[@oneandonlysound99]

When thinking of what kind of new coaster Six Flags Great Adventure would and/or should get, I had three things in mind. Based on what they have been getting and what could be coming. In that, "Jersey Devil" is basically my third choice, but probably was always the most likely. My first choice was basically "east coast racers" not that theme but a dueling launch coaster that has real length to it, with that same crazy compact stuff to fit around things while looking cool. After that, it'd be a GCI-dueling or not, but a Gen 2.0 with the new seating, inversions but mostly wood still. I say leave the steel on wood for when El Toro will eventually need it. Having said that, I am both impressed and overall happy we got this coaster. I could care less if they clone it in cali. I'd change the ending to be another heartline roll and thus 4th inversion, but I agree on the 9 out of 10. Hauls, comfortable, crazy, airtime, hangtime, length, and line moves way faster. I do hope we can get one of those others by 2025, in fact I hope they keep cheap on new rides like add a chance freestyle, zamperla endeavour as new rides (not the more expensive like wonder woman).

[@julianalicciardi]

i rode it 3 times today! first in the back, then in the front, then in the middle! back was def my favorite, even though it was first the thing in the morning so it wasn’t going as fast as my second two rides. i agree about the second half needing to pick up the pace a little bit, but i would also put this in my top 3 at the park, along with nitro and el toro! plus the new bbq place was really good! i’m a happy gal all around :)

Rode it last Monday. The thing is, the point of the single-file seating is that it allows rapid side-to-side motions and extremely tight turns and changes of direction. Jersey Devil, being an out-and-back coaster, doesn't really take advantage of that feature of this coaster type. It's still a fantastic, re-rideable coaster. But it is tame compared to the other raptors.

[@Perfectly_Cromulent351]

Rumor is that Jersey Devil is actually the clone and that it was as originally supposed to go to MM years ago, but the licensing deal with West Coast Customs made it so west coast racers took precedent. If you look at the plot of land where it’s going in Magic Mountain, it fits perfectly and the turnaround actually matches up with a planter that’s already there. It doesn’t make much sense that a design for a park that has tons of undeveloped land would make a compact rollercoaster that doesn’t take advantage of all the open space and that it just so happens to fit in a narrow plot of land in a park that’s short on undeveloped land.
