Six Flags Great Adventure Rollercoaster Introduction: Part 8

Eigth in line is the park’s slowest rollercoaster Blackbeard’s Lost Treasure Train, which was built in 1999 and has a whopping maximum speed of 22.4 miles per hour. It has a massive height of 26 feet and it’s 1181 feet long ride takes just over a minute to complete. There is a bright side to the ride’s less intense nature, but I have yet to discover what it is :D! Just kidding! The bright side is that it has extremely short queue times and nowadays completes two circuits around the track.

As seen in the picture above, the train has a total of 20 cars making it one of the longest ones on any rollercoaster. Therefore the ride experience varies a lot depending on where you sit. If we have enough time, we should try riding it at least three times: Once in front, once at the back and once in the middle. But if time is of the essence, then at least this bad boy’s gonna head for the bigger ones B)!

Did you try the Dark Knight Roller Coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. I heard that it is pretty good with the nice indoor setting making the ride unique and fun.

Sure did. It was great, but not when compared to the bigger coasters... pretty much what I expected.
