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.
