Construction of Six Flags Great Adventure’s highly anticipated 2027 roller coaster reached a major milestone today with the arrival of a massive construction crane that will ultimately stand 450 feet tall when fully assembled.
The crane's main structure rises approximately 350 feet and will be outfitted with an additional jib, allowing it to reach a total height of approximately 450 feet as crews install some of the attraction's highest track and support components.
The arrival marks the latest visible sign of progress on the park's record-breaking coaster project, currently known as "Project Purple." When completed, the attraction is expected to rank among the five tallest roller coasters in the world and set multiple records.
