The final track piece of Jersey Devil Coaster, the world’s tallest, longest and fastest single-rail coaster, was placed on the afternoon of Tuesday, January 26. This topping off at 130 feet in the sky marks the completion of track construction on Six
Flags Great Adventure’s highly-anticipated scream machine, which is set to open in 2021.

Iron workers, along with the ride’s manufacturer (Rocky Mountain Construction) and the Six Flags project supervisor, signed the final piece of orange steel before it ascended to its final resting place atop the extreme, 87-degree vertical drop.
