Aquaman went to save the fish. No need for a re-themed boat ride in Gotham City.

Haven't you seen the Wonderwoman Invisible Plane ride next to Chiller.
Easy to miss!  It is in Freefall's old spot!

Nice... Gave me a big SMILE  :)

Now really WHY no wonderwoman ride?? We girls need to unite and demand a ride .

As for the water effect ride I wouldn't miss it but on a hot day when congo rapids has a 2 hour wait it is a good place to cool off in less then an hour. The last ride I took on it though was a little weird that the boat seemed off it was kind of sideways and it was loaded pretty evenly. Also it was flooded like the drain holes were cloged.  I would like to see it updated but if it goes I wouldn't cry over it.

'Cause the only way men are going to ride Wonder Woman is if it's a real woman and not a coaster named for her.

Distressed and Vandalized huh. They can save alot of money on that part and just let the kids from NYC and Philly do it for free.
Are you ready to send those commies running back to their mommies?

I dunno what to think of this coaster.  It's not what I heard it would be, I'm not sure where it's going anymore, and we don't even have any sort of imagery for it.  I wish there was a press release or something other than the simple announcement on the park website.

The first semi-darkride at Great Adventure in years and that is all you have to say  ??? :D

All joking aside, it is rather ironic that now more than ever, Nitro would have been better off with its original superman theme.

Nitro seems like a cool name for a Batman villain

that would be cool if the new movie did have a villain named nitro then they could do some light re theming of the ride and Q

At this time, its still rumor that they plan to utiliize anything from the chiller site for this new ride.  The original plans had it going in Free Falls location and then stories started going wild once Chiller was going.  I don't think we'll know for sure until they start something but the one thing I do know is that at least as of last week, there were full intentions of keeping the buildings together from Chiller including the observitory.

Wow I can't believe Great Adventure is getting a new coaster for 2008! Although it is no record-breaking ride or anything, I am surprised there were no teasers, rumors, or anything floating around on the internet about this coaster. I am excited to see what this coaster is going to be like because the description did that say enough for me to get a good sense of the ride.

It was rumored for awhile. Its a "Mack in the Box" or Mouse in a box.

We need more details, which I'm sure will follow soon

This is the kind of ride Great Adventure needed, that area without doubt needs some life and this will be the perfect thing to spark it. I would love to see the whole area re-done but thats a dream in my head. Another possible location could very well be in the Arena as i dont think it is used for much anymore besides the Hayride line....and thus the plot thickens! :)

It will be depressing to board the ride in Chiller's station though, If it does indeed go there...:(

Maybe the stats were wrong...

Wow Great Adventure 3 years in a row a new coaster,  but minus 2
I'm confused with this :/

I really hope Medusa gets new paint. It needs it back, along with a revamp of movietown.
