  it is kingda ka in six flags jackson,nj 128mph,456 ft tall Roller Coaster: Kingda Ka Amusement Park: Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson, New Jersey 08527 USA) Type: Steel - Sit Down Status: Operating since 5/21/2005 Make / Model: Intamin AG / Accelerator Coaster Designer: Ingenieur Büro Stengel GmbH Lift / Launch System: Hydraulic Launch Capacity: 1400 riders per hour Length: 3118' Height: 456' Drop: 418' Inversions: 0 Speed: 128 mph Duration: 0:28 Max Vertical Angle: 90 Degrees Max Acceleration: 0 − 128 mph in 3.5 seconds Elements: 90° Vertical Spiral 456' tall Top Hat − Outside 270° Vertical Spiral 129' tall Hill Trains: 4 trains with 5 cars per train. Riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows for a total of 20 riders per train. Trains: Built by Intamin AG Trains: The last car seats only two riders so the number of riders per train is actually 18, not 20. A dual-loading station with switch track allows four trains to load and unload simultaneously on two tracks. History: Part of a new area named "The Golden Kingdom", featuring new family rides and a new tiger area in a jungle-like environment. Like so many record breaking roller coasters, the Kingda Ka has experienced multiple mechanical issues forcing its closure for days and sometimes weeks at a time. If you are going to Great Adventure specifically to ride the Kingda Ka it is highly recommended to check the ride's status via park's website. It is beyond the scope of this site to keep the operational status of roller coasters current on a day-to-day basis.

Reaching a stratospheric 420 feet tall and topping out at an unheard of speed of 120 mph, this new steel screamer helped Cedar Point reclaim the title of owning the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the universe. Riders begin their epic journey aboard this whopping 42-story screamer by securing themselves into ultra-cool trains that resemble top fuel dragsters. The train then moves into a "starting line" position, where it is launched forward, reaching 120 mph in approximately four seconds. The train then zooms straight up the 420-foot-tall hill on track that rotates 90 degrees, crests the coaster's apex and then free falls back to Earth. But hold on, this isn't your father's roller coaster. As the train races 400 feet to the ground, the track twists an unbelievable 270 degrees – what a rush! Riders then return to the station to begin regaling their friends with stories of the greatest ride of their lives. Designed by world-renowned coaster manufacturer Intamin AG of Wollerau, Switzerland, Top Thrill Dragster is located directly between two other Cedar Point legends: the Magnum XL-200 and Millennium Force roller coasters.

Riders are launched out of the station reaching speeds of 120 mph in four seconds.

Cedar Point took the roller coaster record book to new heights and speeds in 2000 with the addition of the epic Millennium Force.

Millennium Force destroyed 10 world records when it debuted in the first year of the new millennium. In 2005, Millennium Force was voted No. 1 in the "Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World" category in a poll conducted by Amusement Today. Millennium Force takes its passengers over 6,595 feet of steel track that includes 310-, 169- and 182-foot-tall hills, two dark tunnels and two 122-degree overbanked turns. The $25 million Millennium Force gave 1,414,521 guests a ride on one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world in 2005.
