Six Flags Bakunawa coaster development

Overview

In late July 2026, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey detailed its upcoming Bakunawa roller coaster, a 382‑foot, 100 mph spinning launch coaster slated to open in 2027. The park highlighted six planned world records, including the tallest and fastest spinning coaster and the first floor‑less spinning ride with an upside‑down launch, and explained the Philippine sea‑serpent theme.

Two days later the park announced a fall‑2026 seasonal hiring drive for a range of positions and promoted upcoming events such as Kids Boo Fest, Oktoberfest and Fright Fest. The hiring notice also reiterated the Bakunawa coaster’s record‑breaking ambitions and its role in the park’s long‑term vision to remain a leading Northeast thrill destination.
