Great American Scream Machine Front Seat on-ride POV Six Flags Great Adventure 

@Joel Johnson Here's why the park almost died. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_Castle_(Six_Flags_Great_Adventure)#1984_fire

@@johngriswold4303 No. Six Flags Great Adventure's attendance took a major hit before this ride opened after a Haunted Castle fire that killed 8 teenagers was found to be the park's fault. After Great American Scream Machine opened, attendance and revenue skyrocketed.

@@johngriswold4303 no what happened was someone died died on rolling thunder because of a condition and since people are stupidly dumb they decided that that means if yiu go to great adventure you die so people didnt come

@@waveiscursed a lot of incidents happened

@@Swagaholic666 Great adventure used to have a Viper too, but it was taken down around 2005 sadly :(

@@stoicoutrider2788 honestly you’re better off without it, because El Toro replaced it

@@majorian9406 I agree with you completely!!!

Nothing beat the Scream Machine.

@@johngriswold4303 It has a terrible B&M rattle

Actually take viper down it sucks

Or replace the over the shoulder restraints with lap bars then that ride would be pretty great

+Daniel Sanders I just rode Viper a few months ago and found it surprisingly smooth. I had no headbanging at all

+Pieter Lootsma Yeah, Viper's not actually so bad. It's really tall too.

Too bad the Scream Machine Trains are being replaced this season.

OMG Yes!

same

Daniel Blaney probably the most enjoyable part of the ride (besides the color, I liked the color scheme on this one)

Well Brent, It's called the Great American Scream Machine for more than one reason.

Classic!

Same with the Chiller, but at least now we have the insane roar of Green Lantern.

The Loc Ness Monster at Busch Garden Williamsburg does the same sound

Only way to get close to the experience, is to ride its taller, faster, and last remaining sister at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I went in 2017 and rode it 5x, it was so much fun reliving the experience again.

It was.

Coasterdude02149 Green Lantern is no doubt THE WORST coaster I have been on. So painful...

VinnyB yeah man I sat on it weirdly and the whole time I had to bend my knees uncomfortably

VinnyB I was expecting more pain on Chang (sorry, I don't call these rides by the tired cartoon names) when GA got it but unlike Mantis, it was surprisingly smooth-but give it a few years and it'll be a head basher. Too bad they didn't keep Scream machine and get rid of that asinine Superman flyer instead.

Coasterdude02149 yeah that ride is overrated. I had to stand in line for hours to get on it and it wasn't even worth it.

VacuumCollector FixerEnthusiast Amen

It might have been a rough ride, but it lived true to it's name

Vortex at Kings Island recently joined as well

Railfan Andrew Rest In Peace Vortex, my favorite coaster I’ve ridden.

@@andrewschannel4259 and even fnf's garcello **when garcello allows old and scrapped coasters**

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.

@Ness Bound They do have the air launched coasters, and more recently the inverting model. (steel curtain)

Vekoma, are you listening?

Honestly, Vekoma, if you could build an ARROW mega looper and just fix the transitions but keep a arrow style design (i know your capable of this) I will be your best friend

@@electric7487 here in the netherlands they completely re-tracked an old arrow-style-vekoma-built classic looper (python@efteling) it's now super smooth and feels like brand new.

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.

Mediocre coasters? Kingda Ka, El Toro, Nitro?

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.

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.

Noone cares.

Bring back The Scream Machine and Rolling Thunder and Great Adventure has no blunder!

Get rid of Green Lantern. Bring this back

Natasha McHattan People like think all good coasters only come fr B&M, intamin and RMC

This ride was super rough. So was rolling thunder, all though they could've rmc'd it. But this ride was terrible. Green Lantern sucks too.

Alec Bailey This and green lantern dont suck. And you call rolling thunder super rough? Like i said, people like you are so conditioned and brainwashed by RMC, Intamin and B&M that y’all think all rides have to be like them

did you get to ride it?

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.

Boom The Gamer they are super rough, all of them have to go

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.

@@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.

Boom the Gamer i agree but i want Anaconda torn down though but arrow loopers aren't even that rough they just knock ur head around a little but there still fun rides we lost this shockwave and now vortex whyy and i think viper wont last long eather six flags will probably announce a closing date in late 2020 or early 2021 idk

I did Viper, it's very similar

I wish someone would make rides like these again. With today's coaster tech they could be buttery smooth with better transitions but still have that retro look.

hahaha coaster gasm

or gasm

The last one remains at Six Flags Magic Mountain which is Viper.

TheSlickkEffect Nope, also Vortex at Kings Island

TheSlickkEffect unless your referring to a 7 looper, then you'd be right. Vortex is a 6 looper

Raphael Web brutally fun🍻

it's actually a steel coaster not a metal coaster

I was thinking the same thing

+Noyou Didnt You are right about the head and neck pain. I rode it enough times to know where you needed to stiffing up your head and neck so it wouldn't jerk so bad from side to side. I remember they had a bid sign warning people to take off your earrings.

+ace frehley It was my very first roller coaster I've ever been on. I rode it the year before it was demolished. A bit bumpy but very fun roller coaster.

You liked this more then EL TORO? how is that even feasable....

Same. Went on it once. Never to ride it again. Glad I got to experience it.

it's was a thousand times better than its once neighbor "superman-underwhelming broken flight" as well as it's replacement "Green Lantern nutcracker crappy stand up redudant of bizzaro."

I agree with you but rolling thjnder should have went and it's also sad to see the abandoned part of the park where the chiller used to be I also think it's rediculous that the chiller is gone for a stupid wild mouse which should get replaced for a real coaster

matt13ms chiller had so many problems it was drowning six flag's wallet to keep up with the thing it wasn't them saying that we need a wild mouse and to get rid of a good ride

True about the problems with Chiller but a terrible wild mouse ride (by terrible I mean it's just a poorly designed boring design, wild mouse rides are generally fun, the one in Atlantic City that spins is freakin awesome, or the ones that used to be in Seaside, even the one in Wildwood) was a stupid replacement. A new launch coaster would make a proper replacement and GCI would be perfect for a rolling thunder replacement.

Seiko Zoorhess agreed both those coasters would be nice!

3 years later... Justice League: Battle for Metropolis now sits where the chiller does. and the dark knight coaster has nothing to do with the chiller.

lmao
