Six Flags Retires Kingda Ka Roller Coaster for New Record-Breaking Attractions

The iconic ride's closure paves the way for innovative new coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

Kingda Ka, once the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster, has been retired after nearly two decades of operation.
The closure is part of a $1 billion investment by Six Flags to introduce new rides and enhancements across its parks.
A new multi-record-breaking launch coaster is set to replace Kingda Ka, with an opening planned for 2026.
In 2025, the park will debut The Flash: Vertical Velocity, North America's first super boomerang coaster.
Fans expressed disappointment over the lack of advance notice for Kingda Ka's closure, missing a chance for final rides.
