Roller coaster enthusiasts, get ready.
North America’s largest regional amusement park operator, Six

roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure.”
He added, "This high-energy ride delivers everything
coaster fans are looking for — forward and backward launches, inversions, and
an adrenaline rush that even THE FLASH himself would approve of. With its
48-inch height requirement, junior and experienced thrill seekers alike will
have the chance to experience it firsthand."
