New roller coaster to be unveiled at Six Flags Great Adventure this summer

This summer, Six Flags Great Adventure is set to unveil its fifteenth rollercoaster as it celebrates its 50th anniversary season. The new ride, called “The Flash: Vertical Velocity,” will be a thrilling addition to the park’s already impressive lineup of attractions. Although the official opening date has not been announced, park officials have revealed some exciting details about the ride.

“The Flash: Vertical Velocity” promises an adrenaline-pumping experience for thrill-seekers. Riders will be sent along two U-shaped, steel tracks at a mind-blowing speed of 70 mph in less than 4 seconds. The ride will consist of two 185-foot towers, which riders will be propelled up multiple times. The journey begins with a twist up a 185-foot corkscrew before heading backward towards the station. Then, riders will be taken to the second 185-foot vertical tower. This circuit will be completed 2.5 times, with the twisted side being experienced three times and the straight side twice.

With a track spanning 2,700 feet, “The Flash: Vertical Velocity” offers an exhilarating experience that lasts just 45 seconds. The park’s website describes the sensation as feeling like “you’re about to blast off into outer space” as you barrel through the center at top speed and ascend vertically. The drop back down is likened to a totally vertical free fall in the middle of a roller coaster. It’s sure to be a heart-pounding adventure for all who dare to ride.

In addition to the new rollercoaster, Six Flags Great Adventure has more in store for its visitors this season. The park is introducing the Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa, which is set to open on June 14th. This new addition will provide guests with a luxurious retreat where they can relax and unwind after a day of thrilling rides.

Food options at the park are also getting an upgrade, ensuring that visitors have a variety of delicious meals to choose from. A new playground and several new retail stores will be added as well, providing even more entertainment and shopping options for guests. The park is committed to enhancing the overall experience for its guests and celebrating its 50th anniversary in style.

Park President Brian Bacica expressed his excitement about the upcoming season, stating that everyone, regardless of their thrill level, will find something to enjoy at Six Flags Great Adventure. Whether it’s a guest’s first visit or their 50th, they can look forward to new attractions, enhanced park features, exciting events, and nostalgic highlights throughout the resort destination.
