The Bakunawa roller coaster will make its debut in 2027 at Six Flags Great Adventure (Six Flags)

Six Flags announces new roller coaster

Excitement about the park's new offerings has dominated the headlines this summer.

On July 28, Six Flags announced its newest addition to its lineup of thrill rides. Expected to make its debut in 2027, Bakunawa is a first-of-its-kind roller coaster, according to Six Flags. With a speed of 100 mph and stretching 382 feet into the sky, Six Flags officials said Bakunawa is the "fastest and tallest spinning launch coaster in the world."

As if that's not reason enough to buy a ticket, Six Flags said the coaster is also the "world's first floorless spinning coaster" and the "world's first upside-down launch."

Demand for the new ride is expected to be high, with 2027 season passes already on sale.
