Kingda Ka

If you're a thrill-seeker looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush, Kingda Ka is the roller coaster of your dreams! This colossal marvel at Six Flags Great Adventure is not just a ride; it's a heart-pounding experience that will leave you breathless and craving more. FYI You do need to get a locker for $2 because you can not take anything in your pockets. From the moment you approach the towering structure, you can feel the excitement in the air. The sheer height of Kingda Ka is nothing short of awe-inspiring, standing at a staggering 456 feet tall. As you climb into the train and strap yourself in, anticipation builds to a fever pitch. The launch is explosive—literally. Within seconds, you're catapulted from 0 to 128 mph, making it the fastest roller coaster in the world. The acceleration is intense, and the sensation of being thrust forward at breakneck speed is absolutely exhilarating. The vertical climb that follows is a jaw-dropping experience, giving you a few moments to take in the breathtaking view before you plunge back down in a stomach-churning free fall. What sets Kingda Ka apart is not just its speed and height but also its flawless execution. The ride is incredibly smooth, with every twist and turn expertly designed to maximize your thrill. The sheer force of the ride is balanced by its precision engineering, ensuring that you feel every moment of excitement without any discomfort. One of my favorite rollercoasters ever!

This was truly an amazing ride. I went during July and I was very scared to go on it at first but once I went on it my fear of roller coasters vanished. I loved when it went so high up in the air as it was worth the thrilling experience and the hill at the end was so satisfying. I am so sad that they might close this ride 😢 but whatever they do to it it will always be remembered as one of the best roller coasters I have ever rode.

It took a lot of courage to ride it for the first time, but this became my favorite coaster. I wish I'd had the chance to ride it more, but unfortunately, nothing ever lasts forever. LONG LIVE THE KING! 👑

I've been looking forward to this ride since the 4th grade. I waited for the front row and was delighted with the craziest hairdo after! I also went a second time but in the back to test the myth about the ride being rougher the further back in the train you are; it's true, very painful last row!

The front row is worth the wait! Also, you can’t take your phone or keys on the ride so just put them in a locker before an attendant yells at you. I would highly recommend starting your day here when the park opens. The ride ops were doing fantastic work getting the trains out as fast as possible, but the line will get long. This is definitely an underrated coaster that not enough people talk about. Get a ride before they decide to replace it with an LSM launch that isn’t as powerful!

EXHILARATING!!! You can’t bring anything with you so lock everything inside your pocket at the designated lockers. That drop must not be missed when you’re at Six Flags.

Insane ride! Rode it 2 days before closing after getting over my long-lasting fear of coasters, and I don’t regret it a single bit. The intense voice behind the “arms down, head back, hold on” is enough to scare you. THAT LAUNCH let me tell you IS INSANE. 0-128mph in 3.5 seconds is wild, and you feel like you’re being blasted at a supersonic speed. You go up, and then you get an insane 456ft drop. Then, it’s a really nice airtime hill. The views of the ride are incredible. Long live the king! 👑

By far one of the craziest rides I have ever been on. We went during a weekday and the line went by like nothing. That acceleration to 128 mph is amazing! There's a airtime hill at the end that was a surprise too. I recommend sitting towards the front but not in the very front, as that adds minutes to your wait time.
