World’s Tallest, Fastest Drop Ride to Open in N.J.

See recent posts by Amanda Geronikos

There’s still no word on the opening of Verruckt, touted to be the world’s fastest, tallest water slide, but we do know this: the world’s fastest, tallest drop ride will soon open in New Jersey.

Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J. will open Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom, on which riders will ascend 410 feet in the air, then drop back to the ground at a whopping 90 mph. Plus, the park’s famous Kingda Ka Roller Coaster will launch toward Zumanjaro riders, adding to the thrill.

An opening date for Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom has not yet been announced.

The park will celebrate its 40th Anniversary on July 4.
