Multi-Record-Breaking Launch Coaster Slated for 2026 on the Heels of New 2025 Super Boomerang Coaster

JACKSON, NJ (OCEAN)–In a recent news release, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), the largest amusement park operator in North America, announced a more than $1 billion investment its theme parks over the next two years. Six Flags Great Adventure will launch THE FLASH™: Vertical Velocity in 2025. In a groundbreaking announcement, Six Flags Great Adventure also revealed that a multi-world-record-breaking launch roller coaster will debut at the Jackson theme park in 2026.

 “With our dedication to creating unforgettable experiences, the park’s multi-year expansion plans will bring major investments, including record-breaking thrill rides, revitalized family experiences, elevated dining, expanded events, and continuous enhancements across the property,” said Brian Bacica, park president.

 “In 2025, we’re thrilled to debut THE FLASH™: Vertical Velocity, North America’s first super boomerang coaster. And in 2026, we’ll unveil an all-new, multi-record-breaking launch coaster, a must-ride attraction sure to capture fans’ imaginations,” Bacica said.

 To make way for this landmark addition, the park has retired the Kingda Ka and GREEN LANTERN™ coasters, with construction beginning soon. This exciting new ride underscores Six Flags’ commitment to continually elevating the park experience and making every visit an unforgettable adventure for all.

Sunsetting the Former ‘King of Coasters’

Kingda Ka, ranked as the world’s tallest and fastest coaster, has delivered more than 12 million rides since 2005. The ride’s retirement, in addition to the removal of The Twister and Parachutes, makes way for a new signature attraction – a multi-record-breaking launch coaster – to debut in 2026.

 The park will also remove The Sky Way for future development, continuing the park’s commitment to enhancing the guest experience.

 “We understand that saying goodbye to beloved rides can be difficult, and we appreciate our guests’ passion. These changes are an important part of our growth and dedication to delivering exceptional new experiences. We look forward to sharing more details next summer,” Bacica added.
