Six Flags Great Adventure is preparing to debut a major new attraction called Bakunawa, a roller coaster the park says could break six world records. The project is centered on a dramatic ride design that aims to push the limits of height, motion and launch technology.
According to the details released so far, Bakunawa will rise 382 feet, making its towering scale one of the biggest talking points around the new coaster. The ride is being promoted as a record-chasing experience built to send passengers rapidly upward before combining intense movement with a floorless setup.
Among the most notable features are what is being described as the world's first upside-down launch and free-spinning floorless trains. That combination suggests riders will face both inversion and unpredictable rotation, adding to the ride's reputation as a terrifying yet amazing addition to the Six Flags lineup.
With Bakunawa, Six Flags Great Adventure appears to be positioning itself for a major draw among coaster fans looking for the next extreme experience. Even from the limited preview, the attraction is being framed as a headline-grabbing ride intended to rewrite parts of the roller coaster record book.
