Excitement at Six Flags!

The Jersey devil has deep roots in our state's history, and inspired the new theme for our upcoming thrill ride," said Park President John Fitzgerald.

 

I grew up loving Six Flags in Jackson from the very first year its gates opened in 1974 ( I was 9 ) and the rides thrilled us as kids .... Lightening Loops, Rolling Thunder, Congo Rapids and the Runaway Train ... to name a few. I also love how the park transforms during Halloween Season during Fright Fest. 

So now Six Flags is announcing a brand new thrill ride "El Diablo" ... the Devil !

The giant, fiery red El Diablo looping coaster will make its home next to the world's top-rated wooden coaster, El Toro, in the Mexican-themed Plaza del Carnaval section. It features riders sitting in “face-off” seats rocketing forward and backward pendulum style until the train gains enough momentum to complete a full revolution seven stories in the air. The coaster then kicks into high gear, completing full revolutions until it stops momentarily with riders suspended upside down, and then reverses direction for even more thrills. El Diablo is set to open this spring, and will have a 48-inch height requirement to ride.
