Kingda Ka: Reverse Blast - Six Flags Great Adventure

RIP Kingda Ka 2005 - 2024, the roller coaster that turned me into an enthusiast

Blast off backwards through two overbank curves and a twisted reverse spike, before falling back to Earth and launching forwards through Kingda Ka's 456' tall tophat. With 5 LSM launches and a launched speed hill, Kingda Ka Reverse Blast reclaims its throne as the King of Coasters.

This is my pipe dream concept for Kingda Ka 2 reimagined by Intamin. I started working on this a while ago and wanted to really flesh it out into something nice, but Six Flags pulled the rug out from under me with the announcement that Kingda Ka is now closed and won't be reimagined. So I'm calling this project finished and uploading it as is. Originally this would have twisted around and through Green Lantern and the Greater American Scream Machine, seen in my previous Kingda Ka Reverse Spike video. I was going to go heavy on theming for a renovated Golden Kingdom & Boardwalk, but for now I'll wait and see what Great Adventure has cooking for 2026.
