Four hundred and fifty six feet of steel, launched by hydraulics to 128mph in three and a half seconds, taking both world records off Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point on the day it opened. It had been promised for April and slipped to 21 May while the launch system was still being tested. Kingda Ka was the tallest roller coaster in the world for its whole life. Six Flags closed it on 10 November 2024, and the top hat tower was brought down by controlled implosion the following February.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
