I think Six Flags was wary as to how aggressive Wonder Woman was as a coaster, and with Toro already filling that gap, they wanted something a little tamer. That’s fine with me. It doesn’t need to be as aggressive as Toro, and this is something that both the GP and enthusiasts will love.
Very true!
But this still doesn’t look tame at all
@@jonathonedwardmiller "a little tamer" than El Toro and Wonder Woman will not be tame, as those 2 are among the craziest rides in the world. "A little less intense" would be more descriptive.
Only thing is that I don’t think parks think about filling things like gaps. They think about their audience.
Well this enthusiast finally made it to the park for the first time ever, and was hoping it would be at least slightly more intense than it was, given that Toro was a no go. It’s still a great park. A lot of good quality rides and great atmosphere.
Jersey Devils only problem is the pacing in the second half and the overall pacing compared to the prototype Raptors isn't as good but that doesn't make this ride bad at all. The pacing may be less but it still does some things better than the other raptors, it's longer, more hangtime, more unique elements... And you got to give Six Flags credit for going with a custom layout. It may not be as good but it's different than the other raptors and that's what it does well.
welp, not gonna be custom after 2022 lol
The pacing for the first half is fine, actually, the pacing in the first half is better than many rmcs
That pace isn’t the best but it isn’t the worst rmc
Pacing is sooooo much better this year. There are different wheels this year, it runs so much faster.
Walibi Holland is Getting A Dueling RMC Raptor in 2025. With A Thrill Side And The Other One Being A Family Side. i Really Hope The Thrill Side Has The Same Pace As Wonder Woman. Coz Then it Will Be The Netherlands's Greatest Coaster Ever!
Rode it twice 2 days ago, front row and back row, absolutely love it. I’d also give it a 9/10. El toro still #1 though in the park
If they could let up on the mid course brakes, the 2nd half would be just fine. Also wish it had more theming, like some fire or fog
If you want it do have like x2 the lines or like x.07
@Jose V. really? Because I saw a video of it yesterday and the brakes still slowed it down a bit
@Jose V. that would be nice. Do you think it’s just because they are running only 2 trains?
@Jose V. that’s so exciting. Now el toro needs to open asap lol
Thankfully the MCBR no longer trims!
I have a feeling Airtime Thrills will like this better than wonder woman
Well good news a similar version is being built at his home park magic mountain. 😈
Not his home park anymore he moved to oklahoma
@@gddatfatratver2457 I mean if/when he rides it
@@gddatfatratver2457 that's a shame
@@gddatfatratver2457 it's his home park in his heart 😂
Jersey Devil looks great, I don’t care if its not as good paced as the clones, but it looks like a airtime machine.
Airtime wise it's a mini El Toro, which isn't a bad thing, but the actual El Toro is in the same park
Now if only they would turn off the trims.....
I rode it twice yesterday in the early evening and came away happy but not blown away. It definitely has some unique elements for Great Adventure and it's very smooth. I just wish it was taller and faster. While that first drop is near vertical, it's not very long. It feels like the front car is already rolling out of it as soon as the last car enters the drop. I'd place it a solid fourth behind El Toro, Nitro, and Kingda Ka.
I don't think rating a coaster on when it runs "best" is a realistic way to rate them. The simple fact is, the vast majority of rides will not take place in the evening. So an early-in-the-day ride is far closer to what most of the public will experience and is therefore far more valuable.
I agree, but i also think its important to note how much a "warmed up" ride makes a difference. That way you know whether its worth it to wait until a ride has warmed up.
Also, the public isn't as nitpicking as enthusiasts are. They'll love a ride no matter what time a day.
Agree
This being my home park I was fortunate enough to ride this on opening day. I got the back row and let me tell you, it’s so good. Probably my second favorite in the park outside of el toro.
i think the single rail design would be revolutionary for indoor roller coasters
JD: I’m not like the other raptors 😘
Bread and butter of this channel. Fantastic review.
It's my local park and I got to ride this for a whole day. It definitely speeds up at night and I got to reride it on the same train twice in a row and realized, the weight on the people on the ride can also affect experience. First time was with a bunch of kids second time was with a bunch of grown men and the second time on the exact same train hauled like crazy
Why does it get faster at night?
@@cccEngineer this is six months after ur reply so idk if u will see this or are still curious but it is faster because the wheels warm up throughout the day and there is less friction as time goes on allowing the coaster as well as all coasters to move faster later in the day
Two great reviews of this in one day (Coaster Studios and Canobie Coaster) - really has gotten me pumped for what is going to be my first coaster of 2021.
I think RMC do an amazing job always pushing forward with new layouts and designs, the Raptor is a great example of this, a high thrill coaster with a small footprint probably lower maintenance then a multi seat coaster (less weigh = less stress on parts) and no doubt a reasonable price.
Great video! I have been waiting for this ever since they announced it in 2019!
2:04 Love the fly crawling out the devil's mouth. Adds a nice touch. Great job Six Flags.
It’s a amazing coaster and better then the other raptors in my opinion
Do I like it better than nitro?
@@matthewern9993 yes
I think its definitely more reridable than the other raptors
I rode jersey devil twice 2 days ago and I have to say it is now in my top 5 easily at six flags great adventure. The roller coaster to me is just amazing I love it. Also being that it's my first ever single rail coaster experience I loved it.
Jersey Devil is a great fit for Great Adventure, the park really needed that coaster that mixes airtime with inversions and other unique elements.
just went on this today for the first time and I absolutely loved it! So many great elements and airtime, was an excellent addition to my home park
Rode it in the back row in the late afternoon on a 90 degree day, and it was amazing. The first half was a perfect 10, and the second half exceeded my expectations since I did get some airtime and I didn't think I'd get any. Number 2 in the park for me after El Toro, which is not an insult at all since it's freakin' El Toro.
Rode it in the back front and middle. Can say while it is less intense or airtime filled then expected it is more fun and that dive loop is awesome
My top 3 at great adventure:
1. El Toro
2. King da ka
3. Jersey devil
I really like nitro!
Nitro for me is the best in that park.
Kingda ka ALL day
Nitro.
Jersey devil was amazing, I rode it on the first day when you’ll had to have a season pass or higher to ride it and i agree with everything you said
The stalls u get on some of the i inversion are fun, went on it for the first time yesterday and enjoyed it. First time at GA in a while and probably won’t be back for a little bit. Zumanjaro was down so I still need to come back and ride it!
jersey devil was my first single rail i’ve gotten on, i love it, probably in my top 3 in the park!
they did an amazing job, could’ve done more than 12 but i went Friday and there was a suprise rain
I’ll be riding this coaster in 2 weeks, thanks for the review, it gave me a good idea on what to expect out of this coaster.
I saw this in person and it looks beautiful
The first time I rode this coaster I was waiting for the ride to open. Still has some difficulties but runs well. I had flash pass but i made it into the line before anyone else when it opened that day. Great adventure is my home park and I love Jersey devil.
I can’t wait to go back and do it again. I did it 13 times that day and my sister and myself are in it a bunch. Looks like you only need to be 48 inches to do it and my 10year old nephew is 53 and he is so excited to try it. His first coaster ever was El Toro and his twins sisters at 7 years old and I may have scarred them. Right after we put them on Zumnajaro Drop. Lol . Poor kids. They are starting to love them now tho. They just did Inpulse at Knoebels.
El toro, this, and Superman were closed today. Haven’t been on el toro in 7 years. And i was so excited to try this. Once they both reopen I’m going again. Nitro and Kingda Ka never get old though. Bizarro is great too
Going to Great Adventure in a few days, totally riding this damn single rail!
I rode the ride a day before it opened to the public and the second half is running much better now.
Rode it yesterday and it is running muchhh better, it’s like floater ejector but still not what I expected
Like the animation
Been waiting for this one!
Lol I just rode my first RMC at Dollywood, Lightning Rod. To me it’s the best ride I’ve ever ridden
I rode it 13 times over a 3 day span, would definitely agree with your comments on it. Wonder woman much more intense throughout.
Rode it last Monday. The thing is, the point of the single-file seating is that it allows rapid side-to-side motions and extremely tight turns and changes of direction. Jersey Devil, being an out-and-back coaster, doesn't really take advantage of that feature of this coaster type. It's still a fantastic, re-rideable coaster. But it is tame compared to the other raptors.
This is the first one of these reviews I've watched the same day I rode the coaster for the first time
They have dropped the breaking on the second half, would be interested in an update!
Rode front seat today. Awesome ride. Got to the park at 9:55am and it was first thing I did.
8:07 that really says something 😂 I guess WW truly is a great coaster I love that ride
i rode it 3 times today! first in the back, then in the front, then in the middle! back was def my favorite, even though it was first the thing in the morning so it wasn’t going as fast as my second two rides. i agree about the second half needing to pick up the pace a little bit, but i would also put this in my top 3 at the park, along with nitro and el toro!
plus the new bbq place was really good! i’m a happy gal all around :)
Back row on this is INSANE; felt just like el toros drop.
I 100% agree with everything you said my favorite roller coaster at Great adventure's Kingda ka and it is my favorite roller coaster of all time that being said, I've only been to great adventure dorney , and Busch Gardens
I was able to ride it six times today and I do agree with you on a lot of things. The stall is probably the best element and the second halve does have pacing issues however in my experience the hill right before the brake run can run really fast a give a little airtime. I haven’t ridden any other raptors before so idk if this is a common issue but the way the train and restraints work is not very good. It’s very uncomfortable.
Great coaster, it’s a strong number three for me.
I totally agree with you on the second half. I actually got stuck on the midcourse when I rode it in the back. It really killed the second half pacing.
First Long time coming finally a jersey devil review
I can't wait to ride this in August! My first trip to Great Adventure!
your going to love the park
Have fun...im from like an hour or so from there!!! Been going since I was like 10!! I'll be 42 in September! I'll ALWAYS be a sixflaggs chick!!
When thinking of what kind of new coaster Six Flags Great Adventure would and/or should get, I had three things in mind. Based on what they have been getting and what could be coming. In that, "Jersey Devil" is basically my third choice, but probably was always the most likely. My first choice was basically "east coast racers" not that theme but a dueling launch coaster that has real length to it, with that same crazy compact stuff to fit around things while looking cool. After that, it'd be a GCI-dueling or not, but a Gen 2.0 with the new seating, inversions but mostly wood still. I say leave the steel on wood for when El Toro will eventually need it.
Having said that, I am both impressed and overall happy we got this coaster. I could care less if they clone it in cali. I'd change the ending to be another heartline roll and thus 4th inversion, but I agree on the 9 out of 10. Hauls, comfortable, crazy, airtime, hangtime, length, and line moves way faster. I do hope we can get one of those others by 2025, in fact I hope they keep cheap on new rides like add a chance freestyle, zamperla endeavour as new rides (not the more expensive like wonder woman).
trims where off when i rode today so the second half is a lot faster and you get air time on those odd ejecter banks great ride
rode it yesteday, still alive... didn't deliver full expectation of being sent to hell
So I think of the second half is more calm and tame as a family coaster because it also may help get you ready for the end whereas the other ones are going like so fast and BAM brake run.
Yes bring it on
i was lucky enough to do jersey devil back row an hour before close....amazing....loved it and loved the parks collection. i think its top tier
and 2nd half hauled!! turn was insane. its better to ride hands up then trying to hold on lmao
I've been waiting for this yaaaay!!!!!!
After riding this i can definitely say that the POVs do not do this ride justice. This ride hauls and is an incredible ride!
Do the employees let you wait for the back row?
I think this coaster is awesome. It’s the only single rail I’ve ridden but I agree the pacing could’ve been better in the second half however I rode it 2 times earlier in the day. Can’t wait to get an evening or a night ride on this.
Oh man this makes me excited for MM’s Raptor
this was my first raptor and I went on this baby twice today. first in the middle(seat 7or 8) and 2nd close to the front(seat 4). i wanted to ride the back so bad but didnt have the chance. hopefully some time this summer but man this ride is my top 3 for the park. me and my friends loved it. as for the ride experience, the first half is amazing, the pacing was great. the second half is lack luster imo. it reminds me of the ending for nitro which is nothing bad i just wish the pacing was the same all the way thru. like if they ran 3 trains instead of 4 and if they replaced the mid-course with a speed hill and another airtime hill. that would've been awesome. but hey i am just happy the we have a raptor at my home park. as for the restraints, the first time thru i was uncomfortable.as a 6'2 guy who has longer legs than torso, my legs were pigeon styled the whole ride but that was on me because i didnt know how to position myself. once again it was my first raptor. but the second time i fixed my positioning and i was more comfortable. overall this ride is a perfect addition to the park and i definitely recommend to everybody to ride it
I went to Great Adventure on Friday, and this ride was closed for most of the day. It finally opened at around 5. I got 2 rides on it, and the mid course was turned off both times. The drop off of it was really good, but other than that, I don’t think it changed the intensity of the last half of the ride very much.
The review we have all been waiting for...
Can’t wait !! Will be there in July when I get back from Puerto Rico !
i love your watching your videos, keep up the good work
I love your reviews
GREAT AND FUN JERSEY DEVIL ROLLER COASTER REVIEW AT SIX FLAGS ADVENTURE !!!!!
Rode 7 times today. Got lucky with 4 back seats. In the backseat you feel everything, and it's a great ride for most of it.
Any other seat? You feel something......but just not..... everything?
It definitely felt slow in the morning. Afternoon it felt faster after running 3 trains all day.
That stall did impress though it felt like it held forever
I jus got on this Monday and it was awesome !
I’m riding it tomorrow hopefully
Finally Jersey devil review
I'd love to see a review of Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk someday! 😁
Going next week. Can't wait
Crazy watching you grow up on coasters your like my long lost coster brother 🤣
Really good in the night time or afternoon. Don’t expect much when it first opens.
3:41 For a minute I thought you swore there. I was like WHAT?!? Is the apocalypse happening?!?
The struggle....get a slower ride in the morning, or get a faster ride in the evening after waiting a couple hours...
You're not lying great adventure is my home park and the first time I rode this was when it first opened and I thought at least 3 coasters at the park were better. After riding it again later in the day it went up to my number 2 at the park. Def a coaster that needs time to get warmed up.
Cant wait until we get ours at magic mountain.
I haven’t been in the park or out of state so yeah I been to six flags over Texas a lot tho it’s fun I like shockwave and Batman
My personal thought-those last hills would of been better if one of them were an inversion..wish it went into the brake run out of a roll like Helix from Liseberg
I rode it 4 times in a row great ride
When I heard about the story behind this coaster I was so excited to see the theming.
Then I realised, its Six Flags.
hopefully more single rails will be added as well as more upside down sections
You gotta review the new one at Magic Mountain, it doesn't slow you at the mid course and it adds a new overbank at the end too
Superb footage 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Waited for this review
My feeling going into this is that the ride will have some pacing issues after the mid course and that you have to ride this coaster in the back row. I've been on 13 RMC's and my expectation going in is that this would be near the bottom of the ones I have ridden. Still a great ride.
I rode it three times this past Saturday and all three times it was so good and the only seat I noticed the mid course was near the middle but the other two seats I noticed nothing I actually got back row my first ride of the day
I agree for the most part. It’s not the best, but you still can’t even say it’s bad. It’s a really fun roller coaster. I do wanna take it on a second date tho. Plus I sat in the middle which I heard is the least intense seat. I rode it in the evening, but it also wasn’t running all day lol. I have to go back and try again.
yeah, three rides and I got stuck in the middle nearly a week apart on dates too. However just from looking at it, watching it go while waiting, it's become really obvious it's definitely hauling more now being broken in.
They sped it up it’s a beast but u can see the wear on the rail paint already
If I was alone I would have ridden this thing ten times yesterday. I got to go on it 3 times though with a group
I liked it but it was just pretty good in the front row
i rode it yesterday and it was crazy but unfortunately el toro was closed when i was there
Amazing
I went on Saturday it was amazing
I was on Jersey devil over the summer and i was absolutely stapled and it was painful on each airtime hill. Afterwards my thighs were bruised because of it. Other than that it was really fun.
As a person who is getting into Rollercoasters, I would say I'm hesitant on riding this just because it's single seating, i cant get that emotional support from a friend that sits in front of me (😂). The shoulder restraints look like they move around. I wanna feel secure especially with that hang time
I saw this last week when I was there I’ll probably go on it next time I rlly like nitro and kingda ka and bigger ones like those
Nitro is really fun
I rode this yesterday. My thoughts on it: the ride is very good. It’s jammed packed with a lot of elements. And got some good air time on it. The downside to this ride is when seating, it made my legs cramped. Felt some pain in my legs after the ride. I would give this ride a 7/10. It would be higher if it didn’t give my legs some cramps.
OMG I literally rode it earlier today and thought I was, like, crazy because I had thought my leg cramped up during it. Turns out I must have been right!
@@bringingbacksockswithsanda8123 dang makes the two of us
Great review! I'm happy I watched! I think more people seem to like Nitro more than Kingda Ka though.
I freaking love kingda ka!!! 321 launch...🤷🤷🤷💥💥🔥🔥
@@kerryalfaro9437 Yeah. They're probably close. I think Coaster Bot implied before he likes Nitro more than Kingda Ka. I guess it is kinda a one trick pony like TTD.
