A new giant is rising over Six Flags Great Adventure.
Project Purple, the park’s highly anticipated roller coaster set to open in 2027, has reached 315 feet, making it the tallest structure currently standing at the New Jersey theme park and marking another milestone in its construction.
The structure, visible for miles, now dominates the skyline as crews continue building what is expected to be one of the tallest roller coasters in the world. Park guests this summer will be able to watch the ride grow week by week as construction progresses toward its final height.
“Project Purple is already making a statement,” said Ryan Eldredge, director of sales and marketing at Six Flags Great Adventure. “At 315 feet tall and still climbing, guests can watch history being built in real time. Every new piece of track and support brings us one step closer to unveiling a coaster that will redefine thrills not just for Great Adventure, but for the entire industry.”
Construction is expected to continue throughout 2026, with additional milestones and details to be announced in the coming months.
