Hello from Six Flags Great Adventure!
THE FLASH Vertical Velocity Preview
Six Flags Great Adventure Preview Photos Taken: 03/27/2025 Posted: 03/29/2025We were invited to check out the newest attraction at Six Flags Great Adventure: THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity. This super boomerang coaster from Vekoma is the first of its kind in North America. This coaster is a scaled up version of a family boomerang with larger trains, several launches and even an inversions. It all starts with a swing launch to pick up speed. The coaster then goes through a zero g stall double up segment followed by a zero g stall and a trip straight up a tower. Then you fall backwards doing it all again.
The new roller coaster is found in the Movietown / Gotham City section of the park next to Justice League. The coaster's entrance is located and in fact reuses some of the queue from the now retired Cyborg attraction.
Follow along as we show you more about this new attraction.
We're here for the media day / preview event for THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity.
This new attraction was intended to open last year, but after some construction delays as well as the merger with Cedar Fair, it was decided to delay the attraction to 2025.
Well, we are there now and the ride is ready to open to all.
Here's a look at the ride through the trees as you enter the park.
Lots of signage around the entrance hypes up the new attraction.
For those following along during the off season. Several attractions have been closed this offseason. On the flip side, it seems a lot of new investment is heading towards this property.
