Green Lantern reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Green Lantern, a roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. (The minimum height to ride is 54 inches.)
Written by Mike Brilhart In 2011, Six Flags Great Adventure added a 15-story roller coaster named Green Lantern as its 12th roller coaster, replacing Great American Scream Machine.
Formerly stationed at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and known as Chang, this relocated Bolliger & Mabillard coaster stands 154 feet tall and reaches speeds of up to 63 mph. The 2 minute ride begins with a 45-degree vertical drop before sending riders through five inversions including a 121-foot-tall loop, a 103-foot dive loop, a 72-foot inclined loop, and two corkscrews.

Readers' rating:
One thing-Terrifying in a good way - Tia Carly Probably the worst of the B&M's at Great Adventure. The ride starts off pretty good, and the drop, loop, and dive loop are all tolerable. By the mid course break run however, I was just hoping the ride would be over as soon as possible, as my legs were in great amounts of pain from the forces being applied to them. Worth at least one ride, as this is one B&M Stand Up that doesn't produce any head-banging. - Mike Brilhart I absolutely loved this ride as Chang! Haven't ridden it here yet tho. My home park was supposed to get it at Six Flags Great America. But I must say, Im happy with X-Flight as well. Chang was a great ride that makes me look forward to ridding Riddler's Revenge in a week! - Joey Till I rode it as Chang. It seems every Six Flags smaller park has one major coaster. At Kentucky Kingdom it was Chang. I am baffled at why any park would think, "I know, a stand up coaster!" "Let's spend tons of money on one of those!" The stand up coaster was a unique experiance, but I am so glad they aren't made anymore. Green Lantern is the smoothest stander, but I don't ride it more than once. - Bradley Keith Surprisingly lack luster. - Sarah Durden A decent stand-up coaster. Nothing particularly thrilling, but worth going on once or twice, especially since it's right next to Superman. Lots and lots of inversions really keep you guessing where you're gonna go next. - Jon Gibbons More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
