It was “standing room only” at Six Flags Great Adventure’s premiere of the highly-anticipated, new, stand-up thrill coaster, GREEN LANTERN, based on the DC Comics Super Hero. Standing 15 stories tall and reaching speeds of 63 mph, GREEN LANTERN ranks among the tallest and fastest roller coasters of its kind anywhere in the world.
Members of the media, roller coaster enthusiasts and families from Children’s Miracle Network were on-hand for the launch of this epic thrill ride, which features more than three-quarters of a mile of twisting, green steel. GREEN LANTERN is open exclusively to season pass holders now through May 22 and opens to the general public May 25.
“GREEN LANTERN is a must-ride for any thrill seeker this summer,” said John Fitzgerald, park president. Built by Swiss engineers Bolliger & Mabillard, the design wizards behind Nitro, BIZARRO, SUPERMAN-Ultimate Flight and BATMAN the Ride, “GREEN LANTERN delivers the incomparable adrenaline rush of standing up while upside down,” Fitzgerald added. The massive thrill machine ranks as the park’s thirteenth coaster. |
