JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ (WPVI) — The future of the Kingda Ka roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Ocean County’s Jackson Township remains uncertain Tuesday.

Several videos on social networks suggest that the roller coasters are permanently closed.

This could be the case, however, Six Flags has not confirmed anything yet.

A park official told Action News that an announcement regarding the ride as well as additional news about the park will be made soon.

Kingda Ka debuted in 2005, and at the time it was considered the largest and fastest coaster in the world, surpassing the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
