Six Flags Great Adventure has unveiled an exhilarating new ride, THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity, sending thrill-seekers on a high-speed adventure inspired by the world’s fastest superhero.
Officially opening on March 29, this groundbreaking super boomerang coaster is the first of its kind in North America and only the second in the world, making it a must-ride for adrenaline junkies.
THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity takes guests on a breathtaking race to the sky, propelling riders up to 60 miles per hour in a ride designed to capture the essence of THE FLASH himself.

The adventure begins with a thrilling forward launch that sends riders up to 172 feet. From there, the coaster blasts into a micro-gravity experience, twisting through the air and sending riders upside down nearly 100 feet off the ground. As riders zoom through a heart-pounding 180-degree twisted drop, they’re then thrown into a Zero-G roll, creating the sensation of weightlessness. But just when you think the ride is over, the coaster reverses course, sending riders backward through the entire track at full speed.
With its innovative design and heart-stopping moments, this Super Boomerang model from Vekoma is unlike anything seen before in North America. The combination of extreme speed, thrilling inversions, and unique forward-and-backward launches ensures that even the most daring thrill-seekers will find something to love.
For fans of THE FLASH and coaster enthusiasts alike, this electrifying new addition to Six Flags Great Adventure is bound to become a signature attraction for years to come. Whether racing forward or blasting backward, THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity is sure to deliver a thrilling experience that no one will soon forget.
