Nitro

Experience the most explosive coaster on the planet. Nitro blasts you off an unbelievable 230 feet in the air with a 215-foot dive back down to earth at speeds approaching 80 mph. This all-new colossal mega-coaster has a mile-long track lined with countless thrills.

  • Fly through seven steep, dramatic drops on more than a mile of twisted steel
  • Hold on tight as you take on double highly-banked horizontal loops
  • Feel the intensity of an S-curve and high-speed "hammer head" with tight twists and turns
