So after I remastered the first “Welcome to Six Flags Great Adventure” drawing, it only made sense to remaster the second one. This drawing features the Coasterdroids associated with coasters that are defunct, relocated, or were rethemed. Wanted to get this out a bit sooner but life got in the way. Regardless, I’m happy with how this came out!

As suggested by the drawing’s header, this doesn’t encompass every single defunct/relocated/rethemed coaster to exist at Great Adventure. The park (currently) has more defunct/relocated coasters than operating coasters, and many of them were only around for a few seasons. When I initially set out to design personifications for Great Adventure’s lineup, I decided that I’d only personify a defunct/relocated coaster if it operated for at least five seasons. The only exception to this rule was Ultra Twister, because when else would I get the chance to personify this model (it was the only one of its kind in the states)?

Will I ever personify the rest of Great Adventure’s defunct/relocated coasters? Probably not, I already have enough personifications lol. But if any of you guys do, I’d love to see ‘em! Despite the park’s popularity, I feel that SFGAd is somewhat underrepresented witin the personifier community.

It’s another installment of my “Rollerswitched!” role-swap AU designs! Today we have Great Adventure’s resident Zierer, Harley Quinn Crazy Train. Though the “Tivoli” model has been cloned for many parks, I decided to go with SFNE’s version because like HQCT, it had been rethemed (though it strangely kept its original color scheme…). As such, both iterations of this coaster recieved a design.

Click the “Read More” to hear about their history and general personality!

Fresh off its acquisition by Premier Parks, what was once known as “Riverside Park” now went under the name of “Six Flags New England” by the dawn of the new millennium. But a mere change in name wasn’t the only thing in store for this newly-acquired Six Flags. In the midst of the chain’s spending spree, three roller coasters would be installed at SFNE. While the star of the show was Superman: Ride of Steel, an Intamin “Mega Coaster”, a (relocated) Vekoma Boomerang and Zierer Tivoli were also present for the park’s opening day. Though SFNE lacked a Batman-themed ride at the time, it was decided to theme this Tivoli to Poison Ivy. Fittingly, the coaster would be surrounded by shrubbery as it twisted through its layout. In 2007, the coaster would trade one DC-related theme for another, becoming “Catwoman’s Whip”. As part of this rename, a statue of the eponymous cat-themed villainess was placed in the queue line, though it would puzzlingly retain the green-and-purple color scheme it opened with. Eventually, most of the greenery would be cut down when it became too much for the park to properly take care of. Catwoman’s Whip serves as SFNE’s designated “junior coaster”, a step between The Great Chase and Thunderbolt.

Poison Ivy’s Tangled Train--or just “Ivy”--is a Coasterdroid who isn’t too far off from the villainess her coaster is themed to. While she lacks the desire to see nature wipe out humanity, she carries an inhuman proficiency when it comes to growing and tending to plants. In being so connected to nature, Ivy has taught herself how to effortlessly identify and analyze the vast array of plants she cares for. Ivy prefers to be left alone with their plants, but typically hangs around Flashback and Mind Eraser. Ivy takes great care in her appearance, though is largely uninterested in “flaunting it around” to others, doubly so with the knowledge that her kisses are literal poison. Despite the character attached to her coaster, Ivy finds themselves feuding more with Superman: Ride of Steel, who considers them to be an anti-social “creep” only valued by others for their looks. In return, Ivy often criticizes Superman’s leadership, viewing him as an egotistical idiot. Ironically, it could be argued that she carries an ego of her own; she believes that she’d be a better leader than Superman ever was or will be.

However, all of this would change when their coaster was unexpectedly re-themed. Catwoman’s Whip--or just “Cat”-- found that without her “green thumb”, caring for her extensive garden of plants became tedious and boring. Seemingly without a purpose, Cat resorted to petty thievery to keep themselves entertained-- and ended up developing a set of “sticky fingers” as they found enjoyment in silently swiping valuables from park guests. Outside of their cat ears, Cat has no superpowers and had to learn how to use their whip effectively. Though still an intelligent individual, Cat has become more carefree and exuberant. Fittingly, they have also become a huge “cat person”, watching over any strays that make their way into the park. Cat is almost never seen without “Gotham”, their romantic partner, and continues to be friends with Flashback and The Riddler Revenge. After mellowing with age and a somewhat-brief stint as a villain, Superman and Cat are on better terms. Instead, Cat is usually butting heads with Joker, who tries to steal things before they can (and is perplexed by Joker’s meme-heavy sense of humor).
