JACKSON - Next year, the Jersey Devil will once again soar through the New Jersey skies.

Jackson thrill park Six Flags Great Adventure announced Thursday morning that the beast known as Jersey Devil Coaster will join the destination's ride roster in the summer of 2020.

The Jersey Devil Coaster will send dozen-passenger trains single-file to heights of 13 stories and speeds of up to 58 mph, making the 3,000-foot experience the tallest, fastest and longest single-rail roller coaster in the world.

“Six Flags Great Adventure is home to the best and most innovative roller coasters on the planet, and we are thrilled to expand our unrivaled collection with the Jersey Devil Coaster,” said park president John Winkler in a statement. “Jersey Devil folklore has been a source of fear and intrigue here in the Pine Barrens for more than 200 years, and this iconic piece of New Jersey history inspired the design for this monstrous scream machine.”

The ride, Six Flags Great Adventure's 14th roller coaster, will boast an initial 87-degree drop as well as two inversions as riders straddle the monorail track.

With a 48-inch height requirement, the coaster will be located in the park's lakefront area near Safari Kids and Congo Rapids.
