Great American Scream Machine
Six Flags Great Adventure
This roller coaster delivered its final rides on July 18, 2010 and will be replaced by the Green Lantern in 2011.
Six Flags Great Adventure opened the second of three seven-inversion custom looping coasters built at Six Flags Theme Parks by Arrow Dynamics. Similar to its sister coaster at Six Flags Great America, the Great American Scream Machine added 3 feet to the lift hill to become the tallest looping roller coaster when it opened in 1989. It's height was surpassed a year later by the third Arrow looper, Viper at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
