Probably way off the mark, but what if this is a relocation of Alpine Bobsled from Great Escape. That originally operated at Great Adventure, and would fit the shorter than normal timeframe
Attraction The Flash: Vertical Velocity
- Thread starter ConolyCoasterDesigns
- Start date
Alpine bobsled is nearly 40 years old what would it do be more of a lawn ornament than steel curtain?
Intamin and Premier are both looking a little light on work in '24 right now too. All seem like viable options.
To be fair, I would imagine Falcon's Flight is the production equivalent of at least 3 separate coasters
Whatever it is, I hope it's custom. That short of a turnaround time, to me, feels like it could be an off the shelf type ride. Or maybe a "deal fell through, GAdv swoops in & buys it" type situation. We'll see. Maybe East Coast Racers?

More the latter than the former, wouldn't be the first time either instances happened to Great Adventure anyways.
Excuse the incredibly rough nature of this measuring job, but I think the Pitfall model (aka, the COTA layout) could fit here. There's several renders of the layout being in that orientation pictured below and also mirrored, but I think either way would work.
Dimensions per the website are 102.5m x 81m. White border lines are approximately that, so the layout I drew may be slightly too small, but I think they could squeeze it in there.

I really like Great Adventure location wise a bit more than a formula one race track in Austin. Not sure about the rest of the group…..
Thought this might be useful. Full credit goes to RCDB for this image.
I'll never understand Duane's (Mr. RCDB) thought process in adding entries to the site. He'll add that based solely off an investor's call, but the ~quarter-built Falcon's Flight and Six Flags Qiddiya aren't listed yet
I feel like he’s always been slower to add international coasters over NA Park coasters.I'll never understand Duane's (Mr. RCDB) thought process in adding entries to the site.

IF this is even close to what happens, Great Adventure has my most anticipated coaster project of 2024.
