Project Purple reaches 315 feet at Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags Great Adventure announced Monday that its upcoming “Project Purple” roller coaster has reached 315 feet in height, making it the tallest structure currently standing at the Jackson theme park.
The attraction, scheduled to open in 2027, is expected to become one of the tallest roller coasters in the world when completed, according to park officials.
Project Purple is now visible from miles away and has become a prominent feature of the park’s skyline as construction continues. Guests visiting the park this summer can watch the coaster take shape as additional track and support structures are installed.
“Project Purple is already making a statement,” Ryan Eldredge, director of sales and marketing at Six Flags Great Adventure, said. “At 315 feet tall and still climbing, guests can watch history being built in real time. Every new piece of track and support brings us one step closer to unveiling a coaster that will redefine thrills not just for Great Adventure, but for the entire industry.”
Six Flags said construction will continue throughout 2026, with additional milestones and details about the coaster expected to be announced in the coming months.
