Bakunawa Floorless Spinning Coaster Announced for Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Great Adventure has announced the name of its 2027 coaster, which was code-named “Project Purple.”
"Over the past year, we've made meaningful investments across our resort that continue to transform the guest experience," said Mike Fehnel, park president of Six Flags Great Adventure. "From Shoreline Pier and the continued evolution of The Boardwalk to enhancements at Wild Safari, Hurricane Harbor New Jersey and Savannah Sunset Resort, every transformation is part of a long-term vision to strengthen Six Flags Great Adventure as the Northeast's premier destination for thrills, entertainment and family experiences. BAKUNAWA is our next defining milestone—an attraction that demonstrates our commitment to innovation while giving guests another incredible reason to visit, stay longer and return throughout the year."
Bakunawa will be the world's tallest and fastest spinning launch coaster when it opens next year in the park’s newly transformed Boardwalk area. The new floorless spinning coaster will have three LSM launches, a duration of two minutes and 17 seconds, and set six world records:
World's fastest spinning coaster (100 mph)
World's tallest spinning coaster (382 feet)
World's fastest inversion (80 mph)
World's longest stall inversion
World's first floorless spinning coaster
World's first upside-down launch
