Attraction Nitro

[Great Adventurer]

Maintenance can breathe a little easier today - in the event of any vehicle problems, Nitro is now old enough to rent a car without any extra fees.

(/s disclaimer inserted here just in case )

Happy 25th birthday, Nitro!

A news day slow enough for this niche account to tweet about a roller coaster is a great day in my eyes.

Just adding this news here in case there are ramifications for Nitro since Goliath is a sister B&M hyper in the Six Flags chain. Reports that all the B&M hypers in the chain like Nitro closed this afternoon in the wake of the news. Awful reports coming from people who were there. It seems this was possibly a park ops issue with the restraints and may not be a ride/manufacturer issue. Even so, hard to imagine how this was possible. I've never once felt unsafe riding Nitro over the last 25 years with just the clamshell restraint and no belt.

Goliath riders were being evacuated four at a time.
