NEW COASTER ANNOUNCEMENT: Six Flags Great Adventure today unveiled BAKUNAWA, the world’s tallest and fastest spinning launch coaster. Debuting in 2027, it will serve as the signature attraction of the park’s transformed Boardwalk area.

Inspired by the lore of Bakunawa, the legendary sea serpent of Philippine mythology, BAKUNAWA blends cutting-edge engineering with immersive thematic design to deliver an experience unlike anything else in the world.

Standing 382 feet tall, BAKUNAWA joins an elite class of giga coasters, ranking among the five tallest roller coasters in the world while reaching speeds of 100 mph. Guests will board the world’s first free-spinning, floorless coaster trains that rotate naturally throughout the ride, ensuring no two experiences are exactly alike.

Every ride aboard BAKUNAWA is different. The two-minute, 17-second journey begins with the first of three linear synchronous motor launches taking the train from 0 to 60 mph before climbing high above The Boardwalk.

Midway through the experience, riders encounter the second (and world’s first) upside-down launch, accelerating from 60 to 80 mph while completely inverted before the third and final launch propels the train to 100 mph. At the top of the massive tower, the train enters a spiral into a 180-degree bank, giving riders unprecedented views of Six Flags Great Adventure below and endless sky above.

Each of the two, 20-passenger trains surfaces from the depths and speeds through the 3,163 foot course with its free-spinning, floorless vehicles rotating independently, creating a unique combination of spins, views and sensations every cycle. Riders must be at least 48” tall to ride BAKUNAWA.

Beginning today, guests can purchase a 2027 Gold Season Pass at the lowest price available this year and next. Benefits include unlimited visits, free parking, access to other Six Flags parks in the region, and admission to fan-favorite events such as Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park. Passholders will also be among the first to experience BAKUNAWA when it opens in 2027. Six Flags Great Adventure Resort

We recently visited Netflix House Philadelphia at the King Of Prussia Mall and had an absolutely amazing experience. The attraction is so well done and no detail has been overlooked from the stunning visuals at every turn to the top tier interactive storytelling. During our time at Netflix House we participated in Wednesday: Eve of the Outcasts, Top 9 Mini Golf, and shopping. The entire attraction raises the bar for a new standard of themed entertainment, and we cannot wait to return again soon for Stranger Things: The Immersive Experience! Netflix US Netflix House
