Great Adventure or Great America?

[SkyrushSimp]

Which is better: Great Adventure or Great America?

Both are owned by Six Flags, and feature very similar ride lineups. There is a case to be made for both, however.

Coaster wise, Great Adventure has an Elite top 4, but has a big drop off behind that. Great America has a strong top 2, and a deep supporting cast after that.

Both parks are very similar, so which do you choose?

In my opinion, Great Adventure is better.
I only really care about 2 things at a park, the Coasters and the Ops.

In terms of Major coaster comparisons between the 2 parks, (points are by how close and far the two rides are for me)

Jersey Devil<Goliath (1 pt)
Kingda Ka>Maxx Force (1 pt)
Nitro>Raging Bull (2 pts)
Batman The Ride=Batman The Ride (0 points)
Superman UF=Superman UF (0 points)
Runaway Mine Train<Whizzer (1 pt)
El Toro>American Eagle (3 pts)
Green Lantern<X-Flight (1 pt)

In Ops, neither really stands out as great, so no points to either side there.

It's close, but:

Great Adventure wins for me

Great America is DEFINITELY a nicer park in terms of atmosphere and clientele, but for lineup alone it definitely has to be Great Adventure. Great America has Goliath and then really nothing else that really wow'ed me, except maybe Viper which I wouldn't say was spectacular but certainly caught me off guard. Great Adventure has Toro, Ka, and Nitro which are all fantastic coasters plus a lot of other ones that are on the upper end of mediocre.

So yeah, Great Adventure.
