It is one of the most iconic in the country, certainly in the region. People travel hours and hours just to ride it. For thousands and thousands of people each year, it's the reason why they go to Great Adventure.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1kwiek_0vidrMTm00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1kwiek_0vidrMTm00" width="1280" height="960" ><figcaption>Sue Moll, Townsquare Media</figcaption></figure>But after nearly two decades of sending people 456 feet into the air at a speed of 128 MPH, are those days about to come to an end?The gentleman behind the Theme Park Recommendations <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TP_Recommendations">YouTube channel</a> believes that might be possible...In that video, he cites unsourced, undocumented, and obviously unconfirmed rumors that the park could be closing/removing Kingda Ka as early as next year, along with pros (it's a huge attraction) and cons (it costs a lot of money to operate it) of that potential decision.Right around the time that video was posted, at least two others went up, all citing those same unsourced, undocumented, and unconfirmed rumors.And, again, I have not been able to find out <a href="https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/rumour-of-kingda-kas-removal.47176/">where that rumor originated from</a> — and keep in mind, in this nickel-and-dime era of people posting stuff online just to get clicks, once one video about something goes up, others usually immediately follow and everyone just repeats the same information.Of course, any changes to Kingda Ka could impact the other huge ride on that structure, Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom, which opened a decade ago.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0MAYl3_0vidrMTm00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0MAYl3_0vidrMTm00" width="1600" height="1063" ><figcaption>Yes, this is a generic stock photo of a rollercoaster - kuri2000</figcaption></figure>Will Kingda Ka close next year?

Is Six Flags really closing Kingda Ka at Great Adventure in New Jersey?

Is Six Flags really considering closing Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster in the world, at Great Adventure?. Rumors are swirling online, however, I haven't actually been able to find out where they started from — and, for the record, Six Flags has not made an official announcement in any way, shape, or form.
