Or the project is so massive that it’d take atleast two years to see finished. The tower (if that’s what’s coming) is still super ambitious and is something we haven’t seen from mack rides before. I doubt even if they wanted to they could get this done in time for a 2026 opening. I’d love to be wrong though.
News Project 2027/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
I checked the jackson township site and theres nothing so far. Also theres nothing on the one call site as well so far. Hopefully we see something pop up this week
Often it is a litteral last minute addition.
Idk if I’m misremembering but isn’t Six Flags Boulevard the employee entrance?
I heard rumor from X former Twitter said that SFGDA has planned hit world tallest and fastest spinning coaster possible 540 feet tall or not sure rumor?
Someone on FB said that in permit history you can see it was filed over a year ago in March, is that true?
I still think of Kingda Ka still world record breaking tallest and fastest ghost coaster?
I believe that was the building they put in for Fright Fest last year.
That seems normal for the soil conditions at this park. If you go back and look at the construction of Jersey Devil, The Flash, or even Kingda Ka, the footers were not very deep.
I am skeptical that they are going above 200 ft tall. Nothing was submitted to the FAA yet. The Ride to Happiness is only 108.3 ft tall and 55.9 mph, so it isn't difficult to break records with the Xtreme Spinner model.
A depth of 5 feet is pretty common for footers. If I'm not mistaken, coaster footings don't typically go much deeper than that - the piers going into them are another story.
So would you say that’s what the permits are for? Or do you think it’s something that’s actually for the 2026 coaster?
