Congratulations to Six Flags Great Adventure with the official opening of North America's first Super Boomerang THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity! 
The Super Boomerang has an iconic appearance within the park, and is designed to offer a unique combination of modern-age thrill ride elements, all in a compact, narrow space. Inspired by THE FLASH, the iconic superhero known for his incredible speed, THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity is engineered to give riders the sensation of racing through the air at lightning-fast speeds. The themed train features onboard lighting and audio, that enhances the ride experience by further immersing the rider and with a minimum height requirement of just 48 inches, this multi launch coaster will provide an accessible, action-packed experience for a wide range of guests.
Strap in for a breathtaking journey that propels you up to 60 miles per hour aboard an intricately designed train inspired by THE FLASH’s suit in a race like no other. Launching both forward and backward, you’ll ascend a towering 172 feet before speeding off into micro gravity as you’re turned upside down, nearly 100 feet off the ground. Feel the rush as you zoom through a 180-degree twisted drop followed by a Zero-G roll that leads you to the end of the track. But that’s not the end. Suddenly, you’re rushing backwards to experience it all over again in reverse.
“THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity is the perfect addition to our world-class lineup of roller coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure,” said Brian Bacica, park president. “This high-energy ride delivers everything coaster fans are looking for — forward and backward launches, inversions, and an adrenaline rush that even THE FLASH himself would approve of. With its 48-inch height requirement, junior and experienced thrill seekers alike will have the chance to experience it firsthand.”
