Six Flags Makes History as it Completes the Tallest, Fastest Roller Coaster on Earth's 45-story Tower
Construction team places record-breaking steel track apex

Jackson, NJ - January 14, 2005 - Six Flags Great Adventure "topped off" (placed the apex, or top piece of steel track) the massive, 456-foot-tall tower of Kingda Ka - the tallest, fastest roller coaster on earth. An enormous crane, towering more than 500 feet in the air, hoisted the final piece of steel track into place, completing the record-breaking roller coaster tower yesterday.

Kingda Ka's tower stands 151 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty and dwarfs London's Big Ben.

Kingda Ka will shatter existing world records for speed and height, launching from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, and reaching a maximum height of 456 feet. It is the cornerstone of the new Golden Kingdom, an 11-acre mythical jungle also featuring the Temple of the Tiger show and exhibit; Balin's Jungleland, an elaborate, new children's area; plus a plethora of exotic creatures, and new shopping and dining facilities.

Interesting. I need to check this Years Budget. I've been asked to go to LA in August for a Jeet Kune Do Seminar, but If I could swing It, It would be nice to head that way myself. Sept. I think would be good weather also for a Roller Coaster.

Good grief! Hope they've figured in that vomit will scatter quite some distance at that height. :-[
