What is "Project Purple" at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey?

At Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, “Project Purple” is the working name for the park’s big new roller coaster that’s being built for 2027. But it’s more than just a coaster project; Six Flags teamed up with Project Purple, a nonprofit that raises awareness and support for pancreatic cancer research and families. So while everyone’s excited about a huge new ride coming to the park, there’s also a meaningful cause connected to it.

According to Park Officials, "Massive 2027 roller coaster continues to rise above the Jackson skyline and is on track to become one of the tallest roller coasters in the world."

"Project Purple is already making a statement," said Ryan Eldredge, Director of Sales and Marketing at Six Flags Great Adventure. "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."

Park officials added, "Project Purple has officially reached 315 feet, making it the tallest structure currently standing at the park and marking another major milestone in the construction of the highly anticipated 2027 roller coaster."
