450-FOOT CRANE ARRIVES AT SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE FOR CONSTRUCTION OF RECORD-BREAKING 2027 ROLLER COASTER!

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.

"The scale of this project continues to come into focus with each new construction milestone," said Ryan Eldredge, Director of Sales & Marketing at Six Flags Great Adventure. "The arrival of the crane represents another exciting step toward bringing this groundbreaking attraction to life and gives guests a sense of just how impressive the finished coaster will be."

Construction has accelerated throughout the spring, with multiple launch sections already installed and track work continuing across the site. The project remains on track for a 2027 debut. Additional details, including the ride's official name and specifications, will be announced at a later date.

America’s #1 Theme Park Calls on Kids to Dream Up Next Big Thing!

 

Silver Dollar City wants America’s kids to help uncover what’s next, launching a free national kids club where big ideas come with a special doorstep delivery, all while inspiring the country’s next generation of builders, creators and craftsmen.

The Mini Miners Crew invites kids ages 5–12 to apply to become members of a special team tasked with sharing ideas for future rides, food and experiences at the park in the Heart of the Ozarks. Selected recruits will receive a custom welcome kit in the mail, complete with an official Mini Miners Crew light-up helmet, personalized membership certificate and club T-shirt.

“For more than 65 years, we’ve been keeping American craftsmanship alive at Silver Dollar City right out in the open where folks can hear the ring of a hammer, see glass shaped in fire and watch something real take form by hand,” said Brandei Clifton, Senior Publicity Manager for Silver Dollar City.

“Those skills are at risk across America. We’re seeing fewer young people step into the trades, and that’s not just a workforce problem; it’s an inspiration problem. Mini Miners is our way of passing the torch. It invites kids to dream and create. If craftsmanship has a home, it ought to have a future too, and we believe that future starts with them.”

Children interested in joining the Mini Miners Crew can visit HERE to upload a short video sharing their big idea. Selected recruits will be featured in park content and may have an opportunity to present their concepts directly to park leaders, proving you don’t have to be all grown up to dream up something big.

The program will conclude with a Mini Miners Meetup on August 14 at Silver Dollar City, where the crew will be part of a historic moment at the park.

“At its heart, the Mini Miners Crew is about much more than what arrives in the mail,” Clifton added. “It’s about celebrating the spirit of creativity, craftsmanship and family that built Silver Dollar City from the ground up. We’re so excited to meet our miners.”

Space in the mine is limited. Applications for the Mini Miners Crew are now open through June 30 at silverdollarcity.com/mini-miners.    Source: Silver Dollar City

American Eagle to Race for First Time in Nearly 10 Years at Six Flags Great America!

 In a thrilling nod to its past and a highlight of its milestone anniversary year, Six Flags Great America today announced that its massive dual-track wooden coaster, American Eagle, will race once again for the first time in nearly 10 years, returning the iconic coaster to its original side‑by‑side operation during the 50th Anniversary Celebration.

One of the park’s most beloved attractions, American Eagle, debuted in 1981 and quickly became a fan favorite for its towering wooden structure and unique racing experience. For decades, guests lined up to experience the excitement of two trains racing side‑by‑side, creating both competition and unforgettable moments among riders.

 

Now, as part of the park’s 50th Anniversary season, that original experience returns.

 

“American Eagle has been a classic of Six Flags Great America for more than four decades,” said John Krajnak, Park President of Six Flags Great America. “Bringing back racing is a meaningful way to celebrate the nostalgia guests remember while delivering the kind of thrilling, shared experience that defines our park today.”

 

During the 50th Anniversary Celebration, both sides of American Eagle will operate simultaneously, allowing guests to experience the head‑to‑head excitement that made the ride a standout attraction for generations. The return of American Eagle’s original operation adds a new dimension to an already landmark season, inviting longtime fans to relive one of the park’s most iconic ride experiences while introducing a new generation to the friendly competition that defined the ride’s early years.

 

Still standing as the tallest, fastest, and longest racing wooden roller coaster in the world, American Eagle remains a symbol of innovation and thrill at Six Flags Great America. Its return to racing honors the park’s legacy while reinforcing its commitment to delivering dynamic, can’t‑miss experiences.

 

The 50th Anniversary Celebration features new entertainment, nostalgic experiences, exclusive offerings, and iconic moments that celebrate five decades of thrills, including the return of racing on one of its most legendary rides.
