Kingda Ka in Six Flags Great Adventure will surpass Top Thrill Dragster in Cedar Point as the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world when it opens in Spring 2005 with a new tiger exhibit. It will accelerate horizontally from 0 to 128 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and will be 456 feet tall. Riders will then descend 418 feet back down in a 270-degree spiral, followed by a moment of weightlessness as they soar over a 129-foot-tall hill and then glide back into the station.
