The Transformation
of the Medusa
Coaster into none
other than,

BIZARRO
Something bizarre has taken place at Six Flags Great Adventure.  The transformed
Medusa coaster has become Bizarro, a multi-sensory ride experience that will
take you to another dimension of thrill.

Known for his clumsy and destructive attempts to emulate Superman, everything in
Bizarro's world is twisted and backwards. The Bizarro experience begins the moment
you enter the ride queue line through a custom-created comic book story. Climb aboard
the newly-designed coaster cars with custom built audio in the headrest. Experience
the sensation of flying as your feet dangle above the track. Plummet at 60 mph through
Bizarro's freeze vision "cool zone." Twist and turn through seven loops, then blast past
bursts of Bizarro's fire breath and race by bizarre scenes and illusions. This
mind-boggling 3,985-foot twisting journey of storytelling and high tech elements will
take your imagination to another dimension.
I wish to thank Angel Aristone, Public Relations Manager at Six Flags Great Adventure,
for providing me the opportunity to attend Media Day for the Grand Opening of
Bizarro...

To you, Angel, and the entire crew at Great Adventure - A Job Well Done !!!

My Personal Ride Reviews:
FRONT of Train:  Although I did not sit directly in the front row, I was one row behind.  The front half of the train is a bit rougher than the rear, though you
have the added benefit of viewing the special effects and BIZARRO's track disappear beneath your feet.

The audio playing via the seat-mounted speakers tells of a story featuring our hero BIZARRO in a gun fight of some sorts.  You hear gunfire, yelling and such,
and at the end the chant BIZARRO...BIZARRO is played repeatedly indicating his victory.  I could follow the storyline up the lift hill, but through the course I
was somewhat lost due to the classic B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard; the coaster's designer) roar and guests screaming.  The end of the ride brings on a nice
BIZARRO chant, along with an Uber-Cool beat that I'm sure everyone will love.

REAR of Train:
This was my favorite riding position due mainly to the smoothness experienced, plus the view of BIZARRO's slithering train traversing the course up ahead.  
One notable change from Medusa is that the two middle seats of the rear row have been replaced with a large, yellow box containing the audio equipment for
the train's audio system.  This reduces the train's capacity from 32 to 30 thrilled guests.

All in all, with BIZARRO's new color scheme, on-board audio presentation and incredible special effects, this coaster is sure to please....
Get out and ride !!!
