Solid flippin ride. Nitro was among the rides that I anticipated heavily going into my recent trip, and it met the expectations. While I still prefer Apollos slightly, it is still a blast and in different ways. The first drop is bigger and therefore faster, but doesnt quite had the heavenly air that Apollos provides. Nitro makes up for it with some strong forces and speedy transitions. The steeply-banked hammerhead turn or whateva-ya-callit (sorry, I was in Jersey and picked up some of the lingo LOL) was a thrilling sensation, and the air on the humpbacks was still phenomenal. While the airtime wasnt overly abundant (I cant imagine something would top AC), I still felt that it was very good, and you have to equate in the ultra-comfy seats with the superb lap bars. The helix was perhaps the biggest suprise, as it was super intense, so there too it gets big points (beats Apollos) but in the end, I will "settle" with a solid Top 10 coaster and a blast to ride. SFOG, put one in for me. Pretty please?
