Finally, they are starting up the teasers again. This pretty much confirms that they are looking at a 2027 opening for this ride. Hopefully this gives them the time to fully develop the area and open the ride early in the season.
News Project 2027/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)

I'd rather it be 2027 and done right rather than 2026 and rushed.
I like #AdventureAwakens. It's almost an admission that the park was "asleep"
Is this the first time they’ve directly said 2027 for this addition? I know previously they were just saying “beyond 2026”.
Not surprising at all given the weather. Wouldn’t expect much to happen in the next week either with the temperatures Jackson is looking at.
Funny enough, Kingda Ka’s construction was plagued with brutal winter storms too. Truly a successor in every sense of the word.

A notice of proposed construction has been filed with the FAA for a 450’ crane. With a duration of 4 months from 3/16/26-7/16/26
577 is the height above sea level and 450 is the height above ground level.Overall Height: 577ft
(obv the ride wont be 577ft but thats just wild)
I’m not familiar with cranes at all or how tall they need to be to construct a coaster vs. the top height of the coaster. Are we thinking 300-350ft here or 351-400ft?
Nice reminder of the progress we might see in the coming 6-8 months from Ka's construction. Nearly identical process so far > Kingda Ka Cconstruction At Six Flags Great Adventure
Man a lot of people are gonna be foaming at the mouth if this isn’t as tall as ka was lol
It's never been rumored to be as tall as Ka. Rumor has always put it right at the 400 ft. mark.

Doesn’t change the fact people are still going to be upset.
450ft?!

Who cares? Those people already said they aren't renewing their passes and won't be back. They can go suck a lemon.
Fully agreed. I, for one, would’ve loved to have made it out to Great Adventure last year. New coaster and short lines on Nitro, Toro, Medusa (always the case lol), and Superman? Sign me the hell up.
