THE FLASH™: Vertical Velocity — Attraction in Jackson Township

This new attraction isn't visibly tall or otherwise imposing but isn't to be underestimated. What it lacks in height or length is mostly made up for in the inventive and unique layout featuring some different sort of elements.

The Flash was also not in operation at park opening, so we waited half an hour outside the park entrance before opening and rushed to the Flash for nothing. When they opened it later in the day, the line was...

Great ride and great addition to Great Adventure. Hang time is pretty cool as is the first hang drop when you first leave the station. Can give you a little headache after you get off of your not a fan of loops. Overall a great addition to the park but will have a very low capacity on busy days. Expect to wait a very long...
