The first coaster I got on for the day & the 2nd best coaster at the park by far. What made this ride even betters that it only had a one-train wait. I love the color scheme it has going on with the yellow, blue & pink combo. Anyway, the T-bar restraints are awesome as my feet were freely hanging a little bit above the floor creating a free-gliding experience. Nitro has an amazing scaling height at 230 whichs also a pleasurable feature as I was able to see the whole park from that height. After enjoying the view came the 215 drop at 68 degrees. The first hill was awesome as it gave me a good amount of butterflies in my stomach as it was plummeting at 80 m.p.h. As we approached the second hill which led to a twisting drop, I couldnt help but gaze towards the turnaround. For some reason, I enjoy terrain coasters more than compact ones as youre going away from the station at a great distance. The turnaround at the end was intense & after a few more drops came the hammerhead layout. Lots of lateral Gs will be circulating around your body as youre whipped from left to right & right to left. There are MCBRs, but that didnt slow down the ride by much as the camelback hills toward the station pack a wallop with more floater air. The final hill at the end gets me in the stomach every time as its drops bigger than the rest, & now its come to an end. Nitros definitely one explosive coaster & the best hyper Ive been on by far. In fact, it was my first B&M hyper too, so that was an added credit. Nitro, like all the other B&M coasters at Six Flags, is freakishly smooth & extremely re-rideable. I rode it twice that day & wasnt disappointed at all. The drops are crazy & even though the layout, with the exception of the hammerhead, is somewhat basic, the experiences pure fun & thrilling. I highly recommend going on this ride if youre a huge fan of big drops & decent floater air. While it doesnt showboat the ejector air that El Toro has, I still wouldnt take this wild thing lightly.
