It’s the ride daredevils, and thrill-seekers have been waiting for. Six Flags Great Adventure announced Thursday that it will be debuting the record-breaking ‘Jersey Devil’ Coaster in 2020.
Great Adventure’s ‘Jersey Devil’ is not for the faint of hearts, it will soar passengers to a height of 13 stories and reach speeds of up to 58 miles per hour while zipping riders seated single-file through “foreboding woods” along more than 3,000 feet of track. ‘Jersey Devil’ is claimed to be the tallest, fastest and longest single-rail roller coaster in the world.
“Six Flags Great Adventure is home to the best and most innovative roller coasters on the planet, and we are thrilled to expand our unrivaled collection with the Jersey Devil Coaster,” said park president John Winkler in a statement.
The ‘Jersey Devil’ coaster is said to have been inspired by infamous New Jersey mythology and is described as a demonic, winged creature with a horse’s head and a forked tail. It has allegedly stalked the wooded haunts of the southern part of the Garden State for centuries, according to reports by the Asbury Park Press.
The record-breaking roller coaster is Six Flags Great Adventure’s 14th roller coaster, featuring an initial 87-degree drop.
