[@Sanguine_Addiction]

No joke, I got teary eyed when they announced this coaster was to be disassembled. So many summers of my youth that I spent at that park. This was by far my #1 favorite coaster.

thats what made it so memorable and wonderful, it showed its age and was one of the best rides ever.

[@janetmarlena6815]

I miss this ride. The cool thing about it was that it was this old underappreciated coaster but it was MASSIVE and had gravitas that you'd notice as soon as you got to the park. It looked like what you think about when you think "Coaster". It truly was worthy of its name!

[@shawnrw3727]

I wish these Arrow loopers would make a come back . so scary and rough and fun.

[@shawnrw3727]

I think that style of coaster will never be replicated. they've moved on to more technically advanced and smoother ride designs. thing is, with the cpu tech they have now, they could actually build these arrow style coasters to be much more smooth and fun over all.

[@matthewmiller7207]

I still can't believe they took this down. Great American Scream Machine was a sentimental favorite of mine. I remember seeing it as we entered the parking lot the first time I went to Great Adventure and thinking how big and awesome it looked (it was my first time ever seeing a looping coaster). I'm kinda glad I settled for this instead of waiting three hours to ride Kingda Ka the last time I went back in 2006. Man, I bet Great Adventure just doesn't look the same without this beast there anymore. :'(

[@oneandonlysound3453]

It looks like a messy zone of DC advertisements with Ultimate Flight in the parking lot and Green Lantern the stand up. At least put six down seats on it. The whole mid-section is basically garbage now. it used to have a few good rides (besides the upcharge ones), games to play that didn't cost an arm and a leg, and Great American Scream Machine. Now it's filled with mediocre coasters and ones that is always broken on the path off the side to the "kingdom" section where you have to walk another mile just to get to the drop tower. The place is a mess. They should do a solid premiere launch at some point, and a GCI to replace rolling thunder. a zamperla endeavour would be a good ride too since these areas all lack rides really. Hopefully one in 2020. But seriously, they could tear down green lantern and superman and get a wing coaster and I'd care less for the loss.

[@Skylord2011]

Mediocre coasters? Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro?

[@oneandonlysound3453]

Kingda Ka is constantly broken, and it's overrated, you launch, come down the ride is over. El Toro used to be amazing, it's just getting more and more rough, obvious rusted track in need of retracking. Nitro is pretty great, as is batman the ride, joker, bizzaro, even the family coaster runaway train is fun as is skull mountain, dark night is garbage-I like wild mouse coasters, it's not a good one. Huge park one wooden coaster, c'mon. Build a solid GCI. Things were much better when we had rolling thunder and great american scream machine, not a super loop and a stand up coaster.

[@Skylord2011]

Kingda Ka may be overrated but it's still a unique experience and something I wish I could go on again. El Toro is still #1 wooden coaster imo.

[@yael_is_yes6212]

I will Never forget this coaster . Rode this dozens of times ever since middle school. I even got a chance to get on the green lantern years later after this coaster was removed. Whiplash so much neck snappage on this coaster haha but it was still awesome. The orange shoulder harnesses the high awkwardly placed and angled first drop and that triple loop man. I recreated this coaster almost piece for piece as well as I could do in planet coaster just now . So much memories and this was ten years ago today wow . This is amazing this coaster still lives on in Infamy in KZbin videos and video games such as roller coaster tycoon and planet coaster .

I rode this coaster every summer after the school year ended. I believe it had seven loops and I loved the pretzel ones toward the end. Thanks for posting my favorite amusement park ride.

[@ScootLoops616]

I went on this one time with my buddy back in like 09. No one was in line. We were so excited we ran to the front and the ride began with just us two on. Our excitement ended when we realized nobody was in line because this was the most painful rollercoaster on the planet! All i remember was our "WOOOOO!!!!" Turned into "ow, OW, OW, MAKE IT ST- OWWW!!" Great memory but my least favorite coaster! 😂

[@soonersfan74]

My friend and I went after school one day when there was hardly anyone in the park. We stayed on that ride for 19 times in a row without getting off. And the 19th was just as fun as the 1st. Such a great ride

[@tillyboos]

My FAVORITE ride back in the day @ SFGA. Viper @ SFMM was this rides exact twin. Been on both, but SFGA was my hometown park. Now my current park is SFDK, I love Medusa, but I will ALWAYS remember the Scream Machine. :-)

[@oneandonlysound3453]

In 1999 when they built Medusa (now Bizzaro), it overtook Scream Machine as my favorite looping coaster in the park. Of course then we had chiller to be a fun launcher. That did more than go over a single top hat. If it was still there even now, even loving batman, and enjoying others like joker and looking foward to the upcoming jersey devil, it'd probably still be in my top 5. Unless they'd actually fix El Toro with all the rusted out track and super jerky-ness added on with crappy trains.

I grew up in the Lehigh Valley so the GASM and Hercules at Dorney Park opening in 1989 was a huge deal in that area! It became a right of passage to get to both parks that summer to ride the brand new, rather awe-inspiring coasters; one a crazy steel looper and the other a massive wooden coaster.

[@huttylion]

i remember riding this when i was 9 years old, it was on a school day so barely anyone was there that day, and i got on and off and on and off this ride about 10-15 times, a few times i was the only rider, and still today even thought its gone, it remains one of my favorite rides ever!!

Im so glad Viper is still around! Luckily I get to enjoy it on a weekly basis. Man it would hurt my soul if they were to dismantle Viper at SFMM too...

[@woodencoasterfan]

I'm glad that I got the chance to ride it last year. It's sad to see, but Arrow Dynamics coasters are starting to dissappear from parks. The one at Gauga Lake, the Python at BGA, the Big Bad Wolf at BGE, and now the GASM at SFGrAdv. The one thing I love about coasters from AD is that classic lift hill sound of the metal chain dogs clanking against the metal anti rollbacks while the train ascends the lift.

[@SarahPToadstool]

It is interesting how Six Flags Great America got version 1.0 of the Arrow 7-looper Shockwave in 1988 due to low attendance at Great Adventure. One year later, Great American Scream Machine (AKA Shockwave 1.1 to me) successfully revived Great Adventure. I wonder if this is where Six Flags Great America got its reputation for being a first mover in the coaster wars... (e.g. Batman: the Ride being cloned, Raging Bull evolving into Nitro)

so true, this ride was so much better than Green Lantern. As if they didn't put in another B&M redundant of Bizzaro, you get a stand up transport. So people say Great American Scream Machine was "jerky and headbanging?" Green Lantern is jerky and headbanging, and also breaks your mid-torso lower section too.

[@oneandonlysound3453]

@@David-gj9qr please be careful and don't hurt yourself on the pasted in horrid vest restraint B&M's that are the same things with different seating or riding a free spin. I'd also avoid all wooden roller coasters but don't worry RMC is ok because people say so even though the shin guards are horrible. Keep going on the jerky launching intamins that are constantly broken, and enjoy complaining about any side company making something great and calling it rough and not good like gravity group, S&S, and mack.

The ride put too much pressure on the track and supports, which is why it had to go sadly, although I do agree with you. I went on this ride very many times, and it was my favorite ride at the park.

I was like 7 inversions...I MUST ride that! As the years went by I got older, married and I finally DID get that ride on GASM, but by then it was already very rough. Even though the ride is gone, I still have that newspaper article in my old bedroom at my parent's house.

Though the ride may have been dated by today's standards, it will always hold a place in my heart as this was my first roller coaster that I ever rode on. People always forgot about this coaster.

I had no idea that it was disassembled to make room for the Green Lantern coaster, since I haven't been there for about 7 or 8 years. I'm terrified of roller coasters with high, straight drops but can go on ones with a drop that is curved (like this coaster and Batman - my two all-time faves) and has lots of loops and upside down turns.

[@rocker78able]

@TheJedigir the reason why rides like GASM and Magnum XL-200 were rough was because the technology used at those times were not advanced. There was no computer that made these large rides, thus causing the coaster to be very rough. You can make the thing all over again from scratch because you need to replace every part, so it was more cost effective to simply take out the ride since it was popular (simply because it was too rough).
