Other Notes
Nitro has a pre-drop in the beginning out of the station. This helps tension on the train/track to prepare for the lift hill. Nitro's on-ride camera was previously located at the bottom of the second drop, but in 2006 it was moved to the bottom of the first drop. While it was briefly moved back to the bottom of the second drop, as of 2012 it has been moved yet again to the bottom of the first.
On a clear night, the skyline of Philadelphia (about 55 miles/90 kilometers away) is visible from the lift hill, and also when the coaster turns to the left and goes up and down the large hills.
Nitro previously had a backup safety restraint, which featured a black knob that extended out of the seat. The lap bar latched onto the knob to serve as a safety feature without the need for a safety belt. These were later removed because they were deemed unnecessary, as they easily disconnected and greatly interfered with loading times.

Famous quotes containing the word notes:
“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
