95.9 The Rat Test Rides New Flash Coaster Ahead of Debut
Starting tomorrow, visitors can experience an exciting new ride at Six Flags Great Adventure. The Flash: Vertical Velocity shoots riders backward.
Unlike any other roller coaster in North America, this innovative ride sends people backward at incredible speeds, hitting 60 mph. The track curves through a stomach-dropping 172-foot climb before diving into a dizzying 180-degree spiral.
“This groundbreaking super boomerang coaster launches you forward and backward at 60 miles per hour, sending guests soaring 172 feet and twisting through a heart-pounding Zero-G roll,” a park spokesman said to app.com.
Opening-day tickets begin at $40, good until June 30. The Jackson, New Jersey, park is open daily from May 22 through Labor Day weekend.
Passholders get early access at 11 a.m. during opening day celebrations. They’ll also get special ride time on The Flash during the first few weeks. While the Wild Safari opens with the park, Hurricane Harbor doesn’t open until May 17.
This exciting new addition is part of a massive $1 billion upgrade plan across all Six Flags parks. The two-year project looks to update older rides and improve guest facilities at every location.
The Rat Pack’s very own Gotts and Atomic Rob got to test out this new bad boy. WARNING: Lots of cursing, but don’t worry, we bleeped out most of it…
