In 2016, Six Flags Great Adventure will debut a new and thrilling coaster, Total Mayhem. As the first 4D coaster on the east coast, Total Mayhem will flip you head over heels as you fly through its course.
After ascending the 120 foot tall vertical lift hill, the ride will instantly turn into Total Mayhem. Along the course, riders will flip at least six times, be wildly turned around, and they will free-fall on beyond vertical drops.
The ride will be the second S&S Free-Fly coaster, with the first currently located at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The five free-fly vehicles will travel along the famed I-Box track and will seat eight riders at a time.
I am excited for this wild new ride at Six Flags Great Adventure. It will definitely bring a unique thrill to the east coast. What do you think about Total Mayhem?

Welcome to the top ten roller coasters (for me) in early 2015! Today I have a list for you of ten of the greatest B&Ms and Intamins in the United State! That’s right, they are all Intamins and B&Ms! I hope you enjoy this awesome list of roller coasters, feel free to comment your top ten or tell us in another way!
#10-Nitro (Six Flags Great Adventure)

Nitro is a B&M hypercoaster. It has a simple L shaped layout and it’s packed full of airtime. This is one of those B&M airtime machines! This is by far one of the best roller coasters in New Jersey if not America!
#9-Wild Eagle (Dollywood)
I’m a B&M lover. I love every single B&M that I’ve ever been on! The two WingRiders that I’ve been on are Wild Eagle and Gatekeeper, both are great, but Wild Eagle was just a bit more fun! For me, it had some nice airtime and was just a fun ride in the middle of the Smoky mountains! It interacts with the terrain and produces one of the best rides out there.
#8-Manta (Sea World Orlando)

Flying coasters are some of the most fun! From Superman to Manta, you are guaranteed a good ride on these intense rides. Manta has the signature flying coaster pretzel loop inversion, some awesome twists that throw you around, and the famous fountain that shoots out as you go by. Manta is an amazing flying coaster!
#7-Apollo’s Chariot (Busch Gardens Williamsburg)

Apollo’s Chariot is another B&M airtime machine. It has a down and back layout with several airtime hills. It also has some fun turns along the way. After a 200+ foot drop down into a small valley, the airtime becomes insane. This is a classic, smooth, and comfy B&M!
#6-Skyrush (Hersheypark)
Skyrush is one of the most intense coasters out there. Before you are down the first drop, you are already at an incredible speed. You zoom down and through several twists and turns in an intense Intamin!
#5-Intimidator (Carowinds)

Intimidator, or I-232 as some call it, was overshadowed by its cousin at Kings Dominion. It’s still an amazing airtime filled piece of B&M glory! It’s yet another amazing B&M that made this list! Also, don’t forget the new Fury 325 B&M gigacoaster coming to Carowinds, these two together are making Carowinds a fantastic park!
#4-El Toro (Six Flags Great Adventure)

El Toro is the only wooden coaster to make the list. It’s a speedy, airtime packed, smooth, and intense Intamin wooden coaster. This ride was, and still is, one of the best in the wooden coaster category. An honorable mention for a great woodie is Thunderhead at Dollywood!
#3-Maverick (Cedar Point)

Maverick is yet another piece of Intamin glory! This is a coaster packed full of airtime, twists, a great drop, a great launch, and a couple of great inversions! This ride is by far one of the best Intamins around, it’s easily one of the best roller coasters in America!
#2-Millenium Force (Cedar Point)

Millenium Force is a 310 foot tall piece of Intamin glory! It can easily tie for the number one coaster in my books because it’s a ride with some great turns, drops, and airtime hills. Intamin makes some of the greatest coasters of all time!
#1-Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion)

Intimidator 305 is one of the best, fastest, tallest, and most intense roller coasters out there. After quickly ascending 305 feet, you plunge down through intense twists turns and some great airtime hills! This is by far one of the best roller coasters out there, go ride this Intamin glory while in Virginia!

Six Flags Great Adventure is by far the best Six Flags park that I’ve been to! It has some great coasters such as El Toro, the airtime filled INTAMIN woodie as seen above, and Nitro, an amazing B&M hypercoaster. They are also home to Kingda Ka (the giant green roller coaster in the background), the world’s tallest roller coaster (until Skyplex comes in 2017) and Zumanjaro, the world’s tallest drop tower (on the front of Kingda Ka, it isn’t in this picture). It’s a great park, but the theming isn’t as good as other parks! I strongly recommend visiting this park!
Universal Studios Orlando is home to rides from The Simpsons, Despicable Me, Harry Potter, and so much more! This is one of my favorite parks! It provides thrills through what has become a decent amount of thrill rides, but I like some other parks just a little bit more. If you are in Orlando, you have to go to Universal!
#8-Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Busch Gardens Williamsburg is home to some amazing B&Ms! The one in the video (Scroll Down for Subscription Link) above is The Griffon, their B&M Dive Machine! The park also has Apollo’s Chariot, an awesome B&M hypercoaster, and Verbolten, not a B&M, but a great Zierer ride for the whole family with the only vertical drop on a roller coaster in the United States. This park is a hybrid on theming and thrills, which is what I love in a park. It has some of the best theme park landscaping around!
Busch Gardens loves B&Ms! This park is home to Sheikra, Kumba, and Montu, three amazing and powerful B&Ms! On top of that, they have some INTAMIN glory in the Flying Drop tower Falcon’s Fury, and the ride for everyone to enjoy, Cheetah Hunt! This park has a great Safari, some great coasters, and some good landscaping. The theming is relatively good, like its sister park in Williamsburg. Definitely head over to this park from next time you are in Florida!
#6-Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia
Kings Dominion gets points for being my home park! I love I-305 and Volcano, Oh the INTAMIN glory of this park! You can’t forget a ride on Dominator, the B&M floorless coaster, and of course the classic, Premier Rides built, Flight of Fear. Kings Dominion is not the best park by any means, but it is a great local park, it definitely is the best in the region!
#5-EPCOT at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida
EPCOT, or the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow was Walt Disney’s biggest dream. Unfortunately, it was nothing like he planned it to be. He planned it as the sprawling city of the future, with what was actually built as its centerpiece. EPCOT is a permanent world’s fair, not the city of tomorrow. Fortunately for us, EPCOT has some great thrill rides, like Test Track, and some awesome family rides like SOARIN! This park has beautiful theming throughout, and delicious food, especially in the world showcase!
#4-Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida
The Magic Kingdom is the most visited theme park on earth for a reason. It is one of the most well themed parks on Earth, with a wide array of classic and modern attractions such as Space Mountain, the Jungle Cruise, It’s a Small World, the Haunted Mansion, The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and countless others! The Magic Kingdom is great for every age, from 1 to 100, the headline park of Walt Disney World is fantastic!
#3-Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the last Disney park on the list, but I want to give an honorable mention to the Animal Kingdom, it needs some more rides to be great. Hollywood Studios is a park in transition, there are so many rides closed in this park. I can’t wait to see what the transition will bring to this park. Even with the closures, this is my favorite Disney park, because it has theming and thrills! From The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the best drop tower that I’ve been on, to Rock n’ Roller Coaster, which has some awesome Aerosmith music, to Toy Story Midway Mania, the fun family shooter, Hollywood Studios is jam packed with some of the best rides in the country! This park is worth your time while you are in Orlando!
#2-Islands of Adventure at the Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida
I love Islands of Adventure, they have a bit of everything! It is the best place to find thrills and theming combined together! From the Marvel Universe, to Jurassic Park, and Harry Potter, this park has it all! It has some great dark rides like Spiderman and The Forbidden Journey, it has the family friendly Dr. Seuss and Toon Lagoon areas of the park, and three amazing B&M coasters (Dragon Challenge is two roller coasters)! This is by far the best mix of theming and amazing thrills that I know!
The Thrill Capital of the world is home to Millennium Force, the number one roller coaster on earth, Maverick, the insane INTAMIN Blitz, Gatekeeper, an awesome B&M WingRider, and so many more insane coasters! This park pushes the boundaries of roller coasters, they were the ones who started the Coaster Wars! It may not have too much theming, but this is by far my favorite park because of the insane thrills of this glorious park!
