“Every year, Six Flags creates innovative, new ride experiences for thrill-seekers of all ages,” said Park President Dale Kaetzel. “Catwoman Whip and Poison Ivy Toxic Twister will be sensational new additions to our ride arsenal that features the biggest and best variety of rides in the region.” 
Guests will soar seven stories high as they prepare for an adrenaline-charged flight on Catwoman Whip, featuring: 

  • A super-sized wheel spinning horizontally, as a giant arm lifts and tilts the wheel to a vertical position; 
  • High-speed rotations spin round and round, reaching heights of 67 feet in the air; and 
  • An exhilarating flight in 24 open-air seats with feet dangling below. 

Poison Ivy Toxic Twister sends 36 riders swirling on a dizzying journey, featuring: 
  • A giant center rotating arm rotates riders in pods as they experience centrifugal force; 
  • Pods spin counter clockwise, while the ride turns in the opposite direction; and 
  • Riders in groups of three, all connected in 12 clusters, twist and churn at high speeds. 
The all-new Gotham City featuring Catwoman Whip and Poison Ivy Toxic Twister will open in late spring 2020. Additional exciting announcements regarding 2020 will be announced soon.

Jersey Devil Coaster Will Shatter Three World Records in 2020 at Six Flags Great Adventure

8/29/2019

JACKSON, N.J. ─ August 29, 2019 ─ On the edge of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Six Flags Great Adventure, the World’s Ultimate Thrill Park, today announced that a menacing coaster of legendary proportions—the tallest, fastest and longest single rail coaster--Jersey Devil Coaster, will make its world debut in 2020. Towering 13 stories, at speeds up to 58 mph, riders will soar single file through the dark and foreboding woods over 3,000 feet of track. Inspired by infamous New Jersey mythology, the cutting-edge coaster will feature five intense elements including two dramatic inversions.
Picture
Legend says the Jersey Devil has haunted the Pine Barrens for centuries, soaring stealthily through the woods in the dark of night before attacking its prey. Modern-day folklore even places this beast near the theme park’s Great Lake, with its menacing, curled horns manifesting under a full moon. 
“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. “Jersey Devil folklore has been a source of fear and intrigue here in the Pine Barrens for more than 200 years, and this iconic piece of New Jersey history inspired the design for this monstrous scream machine.”
Key features of the Jersey Devil Coaster include:

  • Four sleek trains of 12 passengers each sitting low and inline style (one rider per row) with their legs straddling either side of the monorail track;
  • 3,000 feet of soaring, single-rail, I-beam track;
  • Tension-building ascent up a towering, 130-foot lift hill;
  • Flying at speeds up to 58 mph;
  • Three intense elements including a steep 87-degree first drop, raven dive and overbank cutback; and
  • Two dramatic inversions including a 180-degree stall and zero-gravity roll.
Riders must meet the 48-inch height requirement. Jersey Devil Coaster will debut in the summer of 2020. It will be located along the lakefront near Safari Kids and Congo Rapids.
