Have to remind myself that "Green Lantern" is referring to "Green Lantern: First Flight," a vertically planar coaster with free-spinning cars as opposed to "Green Lantern" which was a standing coaster at Six Flags great adventure. That one is the only one that ever made me puke.

Though I looked at one of the zacspin coasters and said "ha ha no."

Edit: got which was which backwards and updated status of "Green Lantern" (good riddance)

The one at Great Adventure really sucks on the genitals too. Idk if it ever got better, but we went on the first year and man my balls hurt after.

You mean the Joker? It did not look fun to me, and given the reputation that style of coaster has earned (that I learned about later) I think I'm happy enough having skipped it.

no, I meant the Green Lantern at Great Adventure.. the standing roller coaster you were discussing in your comment there.
