Bizarro- Review

By -
Bizarro is a B&M Floorless roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. Bizarro opened in 1999, under the name of Medusa. When it opened, it was the World's First Floorless Coaster. In 2009, the ride was rethemed to Bizarro, along with Superman at Six Flags New England. During this transformation, new special effects were added such as audio, fog, fire, lights, and fly-throughs. The audio was removed in 2013. The ride stands 142 feet tall and contains a 132 foot drop.  The ride has a top speed of 61 mph. This is a great and forceful ride. I will be giving the ride a score of 1-10 for each categories, and finish off with my overall score and opinion of the ride.



  • Theming- Bizarro is themed to the DC comics villain, who shares the same name. The queue line features comic strip boards explaining the story of how Medusa became Bizarro. Throughout the ride, there are multiple fly-through and fly-over props. Also, the ride contains mist and fire. The ride is pretty well themed for Six Flags standards, but it sticks out like a sore thumb for being superhero themed in the parks Frontier Adventure area. 7/10



  • Trains- Bizarro runs with the typical B&M floorless trains, featuring 8 rows with 4 passengers each. The trains are very high capacity, and the ride runs three of them. I did not find anything special about the trains, but they were comfortable. 5/10


  • Inversions- Bizarro features seven intense inversions including a vertical loop, a dive loop, a cobra roll, a zero-g roll, and two corkscrews. These inversions are very fun. The Zero-G roll is taken at a great speed and the Cobra Roll is right over the rides entrance. Very exciting inversions are found on this ride. 9/10
  • Smoothness- This coaster was built by B&M, who are known for making very smooth rides. Bizarro is no different. Every element on this ride is extremely smooth, even the corkscrews. I experienced no rattle whatsoever in my front seat ride. Very smooth! 10/10


  • Speed- Bizarro has a top speed of mph. This ride flies through its layout. The inversions are taken at the perfect speed, and it just seems to have been designed to run perfectly. This ride is very intense, as are most B&M coasters built around this time, and provides a fun, speedy ride!

Bizarro is a great coaster. It is intense, has great inversions, and is very smooth. The layout packs a punch and sets the bar high for future floorless coasters. This coaster will be receiving an overall score of 8/10

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
