Six Flags Great Adventure announces 382-foot tall Bakunawa spinning roller coaster
Posted
From the official site:
From deep beneath the darkened sea, an ancient serpent rises. Ascend the spire and split the sky on Bakunawa — the fastest and tallest spinning launch coaster in the world.
Inspired by Bakunawa, a legendary creature of folklore, this coaster reimagines the serpent’s coiling ascent as it attempts to devour the moon. Feel the pull of the eclipse as you launch through the world’s fastest inversion, reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour. After spiraling 382 feet into the air, you plummet back to earth, spinning to the shore as Bakunawa returns to the sea.

MDOmnis:
"The Bakunawa is a giant, serpent-like dragon from Philippine mythology known as the moon-eating dragon, the bringer of eclipses, and a sea-dwelling monster."
Nothing fits a boardwalk theme in an inland New Jersey amusement park like a mythological moon eating dragon from the Philippines.

Honestly, I'm probably hating on the ride because it's Six Flags Great Adventure. I really do hope they are getting their crap together. I'm jaded, I know. Let's just say every time I chose Great Adventure over other parks, I have been extremely disappointed, to the point that I expect mediocrity from them.
But it's a new day, so...

Yea - that's fair. I visited there for the first time in probbaly 20 years earlier this season and it really does seem like they are TRYING to right the ship. The park was clean, the landscaping and food had improved, the ops were so so. There wasn't much in the way of families in there though. It was mostly overrun with obnoxious school kids and they clearly either waive or ignore their chaperone policy for them.
