Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township just keeps on growing.

The theme park that just added the tallest drop ride in the world to its attractions this year will be getting a 13th coaster in 2015.

Six Flags has announced that they will be bringing in Looping Dragon as part of next year’s coasters. According to NorthJersey.com, 20 riders facing each other are rocketed backward and forward in the form of a pendulum until the train finishes a revolution seven stories in the air. The coaster then keeps doing 360 degree loops, stops with its riders suspended upside down, and then reverses direction.

Looping Dragon will be found in Six Flags’ Golden Kingdom section. That section also features two of the top roller coasters in the world.

The theme park’s website bills Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom as the tallest and fastest drop ride in the world. It opened in 2014. Golden Kingdom also features Kingda Ka, tallest and fastest coaster in the world.

Six Flags says there is a 48-inch height requirement to ride Looping Dragon. “Looping Dragon is a great addition to our diverse roller coaster collection because it delivers speed and thrills that appeal to both our younger and more experienced thrill-seekers alike,” said park President John Fitzgerald, according to NJ.com.

The Halloween attraction Fright Fest will be adding two indoor mazes for 2015 as well. Looping Dragon is expected to be completed by late spring of 2015.

Its website notes that Six Flags has 18 theme parks across the United States, and has been in operation for more than 50 years.
