The Jersey Devil Coaster’s most exciting features

Here are some more key features of the Jersey Devil Coaster that you can expect in the future! Credits to CBS Philly:

• Four sleek trains of 12 passengers each sitting low and inline style (one rider per row) with their legs straddling either side of the monorail track
• 3,000 feet of soaring, single-rail, I-beam track
• Tension-building ascent up a towering, 130-foot lift hill
• Flying at speeds up to 58 mph
• Three intense elements including a steep 87-degree first drop, raven dive and overbank cutback
• Two dramatic inversions including a 180-degree stall and zero-gravity roll.

The legend behind the coaster

The park confirms that the ride’s inspiration is from the Jersey Devil legend. “Legend says the Jersey Devil has haunted the Pine Barrens for centuries, soaring stealthily through the woods in the dark of night before attacking its prey,” the park says in a statement.

“Modern-day folklore even places this beast near the theme park’s Great Lake, with its menacing, curled horns manifesting under a full moon.”

The ride’s location can be found along the lakefront near Safari Kids and Congo Rapids. This absolute monster of a coaster will debut in the summer of 2020. Will you be riding it? Check out a video of a POV shot of what to expect when you’re riding this coaster!
