Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Kingda Ka (Six Flags Great Adventure) is the tallest roller coaster in the world, dropping riders from a height of 456 feet. The coaster was designed by Intamin associates Stakotra and is located at Jackson, New Jersey’s Six Flags Great Adventure theme park. At the time of its construction, it was the fastest coaster in the world, reaching a maximum speed of 128 miles per hour less than four seconds after its hydraulic launch. After its initial top hat tower, the coaster sends riders through a 270-degree spiral and ascends a second 129-foot hill, which produces sensations of weightlessness for riders. The ride was opened to the public in May of 2005, and since 2014, has incorporated the Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom drop tower onto the side of its top hat hill.
