Six Flags Great Adventure Coaster Incident
Earlier this month, it was reported that Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great America closed down after a terrifying incident involving the launch cable snapping after a vehicle was launched with Guests still riding the attraction. No injuries were reported, as everyone could exit the ride safely. But the coaster shut down as Six Flags attempted to get to the bottom of the cable, snapping and getting the coaster up and running again as the summer crowds arrived at the theme Parks.
Since June 5, the roller coaster has been shut down as inspections, and more have been ongoing to determine the reason behind the cable snapping in the first place and whether or not the ride would be operational again for the remainder of the 2023 summer season. There have not been too many updates concerning the coaster other than people speculating that the ride would once again open at some point in time shortly.

We now have some updates concerning Kingda Ka and a potential opening date as the coaster has been seen in operation, testing out the new cable installed. This could mean the attraction will return to life sooner rather than later.

Kingda Ka Update – Coaster Seen Testing in New Video – Opening Date Imminent
Theme Park Tourist on social media posted their most recent update on the giant roller coaster via an article released just a few hours ago. In their report, they mention how the coaster has been seen testing with water dummies, and the ride seems to be testing well so far, leading many to believe the attraction is set to open sometime soon, maybe this weekend in time for July 4 weekend. Here is the video from which Theme Park Tourist referenced in their article on Kingda Ka returning soon. J Bushnell posted the video in question.

Per the video above, you can see the roller coaster testing out with dummies onboard, which indicates that the ride has been given a new cable and is testing well, with a potential opening date coming before the busy July 4 weekend, which will see the most Guests at theme Parks for the summer, until Labor Day weekend in early September.
Until then, there are no further updates on this coaster’s opening date. Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point has been under some interesting construction as repainting and possible new tracks are being added soon to have the ride reopen in 2024. Ferrari World also has one of the tallest and fastest coasters in the world – Formula Rossa, which rivals anything we’ve seen here in North America. El Toro, also located inside Six Flags Great Adventure, has reopened to the public following another incident this year. The fastest roller coaster in the world still goes to Kingd Ka – for now. Being the fastest coaster in the world, it’s no wonder they are taking their time to reopen this thrill ride. The airtime alone is worth mentioning just how quickly the train takes off after launching on this coaster. Riders are in for a treat as they zoom past the crowd below waiting – the site is something to behold; I suggest watching a youtube video if possible.
The world record for the tallest thrill seeker with the best track, speed, launch track, height, and more goes to Kingda Ka. A lot of individuals feel as if these numbers are false or if the information is not presented in an educated manner, but a quick search will you tell you otherwise – Kingda Ka reigns supreme over any other rollercoaster in terms of getting Guests up to 128 mph in speed. Waiting an hour for this ride is well worth it as you climb 400 feet at 128 miles per hour. Convinced? Good.
