Sad to See Another Iconic Ride Taken Down at Great Adventure

As we get ready to say "Hello" to the new year, there's big changes at Six Flags Great Adventure. We have been seeing these changes the last couple of months.

When I say big changes, I mean rides that we all loved so much and they're not going to be there for the 2025 season.

We said good-bye to one of my favorites, the skyride. So many of you were sad to see Kingda Ka and Green Lantern removed and now this iconic ride that was first opened in the 80's.

Another ride being removed from Six Flags Great Adventure?

The tower first opened in 1983 at Great Adventure and it was named Parachuter's Perch. It was a very cool ride. I know, the last couple of years, because of the weather, it wouldn't be running as much, but it was cool to see. You could see it as you were driving into the park.

What's new for 2025 at Six Flags Great Adventure?

From sixflags.com: "The first super boomerang coaster in North America! This new high-speed ride will offer an adrenaline-pumping experience like no other." This roller coaster is called The Flash. It does look pretty cool. It's red and yellow.
