Click here to watch the on-ride POV. Ultimate Rollercoaster. On May 30, , Nitro's train stop mid way up the lift as the lift made a loud noise. Reason is still unknown. Nitro features open, side-less trains with individual lap bar restraints. There are a total of 3 trains, and each train seats 4 across and has 9 rows for a total of 36 seats. Nitro's trains can be loaded and checked quickly, resulting in very high capacity with all 3 trains running.
There are three main reasons for this:. Nitro's queue area consists of an indoor and outdoor area followed by a long path before climbing the stairs into the station. Views from the line show the backside to Batman the Ride and the Great Adventure mechanical and storage area. Nitro's station music is the remix of the Mortal Kombat theme, which can be heard during the queue and station. Nitro has a pre-drop in the beginning out of the station. Nitro's on-ride camera was previously located at the bottom of the second drop, but in it was moved to the bottom of the first drop.
Nitro previously had a backup safety restraint, which featured a black knob that extended out of the seat. The lap bar latched onto the knob to serve as a safety feature without the need for a safety belt. These were later removed because they were deemed unnecessary, as they easily disconnected and greatly interfered with loading times. Wikimedia Foundation.

The Scenic Railway at Luna Park, Melbourne, is the world s oldest continually operating rollercoaster, built in … Wikipedia. Despite the cold, the construction crews kept working hard to stay on schedule for the spring opening. The structure rising above the trees was impressive, and Prospertown Lake Park offered a great place to watch the progress.
When the first of its kind hammerhead turn was completed out on the far edge of the site closest to the lake it made big news across the coaster fan sites. Spring finally arrived and the new season started in early April. To celebrate the opening of Nitro the park hosted a "Survivor" contest where people could camp out in the park to try and be the first riders.
The queue for Nitro required running the line behind Captain Jack's which was renamed Nitro Grill and the switchbacks were located on the site of the Fantasy Fling Super Round Up ride which was moved to the empty ride pad across from the Buccaneer. Fantasy Fling had been placed on that site just two seasons earlier when it was moved to make way for Evolution. Nitro has delivered on all counts, providing a reliable, fast smooth ride that has led to its becoming arguably the park's most popular roller coaster.
Since its debut, Nitro has consistently ranked in the top ten steel roller coasters on enthusiast polls. The free floating sensation of the open seating and the long ride out through the woods and along the water are a winning combination. Lap bars were secured with a safety wire for a brief period of time but later removed. The theme elements of Nitro are minimal, basically taking on an industrial look with the corrugated metal station building and rivet logo at the entrance.
Originally the queue featured blinking LED lights set into sidewalks to add kind of a sci-fi or techno look to it.
