Six Flags Great Adventure will announce the closure of the Kingda Ka roller coaster as part of a $50 million investment for its 50th anniversary. This marks a significant change for the park, which has faced maintenance issues with the ride. The park has also applied for permits to demolish the Green Lantern, Twister, and parachute rides. A new ride will replace Kingda Ka, which is currently the tallest and fastest coaster in North America. The announcement comes amid concerns from local businesses and speculation on social media about the park's future. Six Flags recently opened a resort and plans to introduce a new roller coaster in 2025.
