Six Flags Great Adventure retiring 2 coasters, including Kingda Ka; announces pair of new coasters
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!

If five rides are going down to make this, it needs to be something really groundbreaking. I'm hoping the mention of a launch means it isn't a B&M giga like was rumored, Nitro-but-bigger wouldn't add much to the park.
I know it'll never happen, but I'd love to see something dueling. The park has had three different dueling rides but only one consistently did.
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
I don't like the new Six Flags... Cedar Fair just seems to have used the Six Flags name as a mustache to twirl.
