FAQ

How long is the Nitro line usually?

Nitro typically averages 30-40 minutes on busy days. High-capacity B&M trains help keep the line moving, so even when the queue looks long, it moves faster than most rides. Best times are before noon or after 5 PM.

Is Nitro a good first big coaster?

Yes. Nitro is one of the best "intro to hyper coasters" in the country. It's tall (230 ft) and fast (80 mph) but smooth, with no inversions. The 8 airtime hills build intensity gradually. It's intense enough to thrill but not so extreme that it scares first-timers.

Best seat on Nitro?

Back row for maximum airtime. You'll float over every hill. Front row for the best view and the sensation of speed. Both are great choices. The back row line is usually longer, so factor that into your wait time.
