The final piece of the Jersey Devil Coaster’s track was placed on Monday, Six Flags announced, topping the coaster off at 130 feet. When the coaster opens later this year (no official date has been set), it will be the world’s tallest, longest, and fastest single-rail coaster.
Iron workers from TCN & Co, the ride’s building company which is based in Marlton, along with the ride’s manufacturer and Six Flags project supervisor, signed the final piece of orange steel before it was lifted and placed.
