Six Flags Great Adventure retiring 2 coasters, including Kingda Ka; announces pair of new coasters
Six Flags Great Adventure confirmed the long-rumored closure of two of its roller coasters, including the iconic Kingda Ka.
I don’t think this is too surprising, but I am upset that the park didn’t provide any notice on a final operating day for the tallest roller coaster in the world. I finally got to visit Great Adventure for the first time this year and was able to ride it, but I would have tried to squeeze in one more visit if I knew. It’s confirmed that this is a removal and a completely new cosster rather than a re-imagining, so let the rumor mills begin!
Then, in 2026, the park said it will open "an all-new, multi-record-breaking launch coaster." It has not yet been named.
Top Thrill 2 spike coming for Kingda Ka then.
The park emailed ElToroRyan saying it's an all new coaster. https://opencoaster.net/@ElToroRyan/113482030054746073
