<p>Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, has unveiled <I>BAKUNAWA</I>, the world's tallest and fastest spinning launch coaster. Debuting in 2027, it will serve as the signature attraction of the park's transformed Boardwalk area.</p>
<p>Inspired by the lore of <i>BAKUNAWA</i>, the legendary sea serpent of Philippine mythology, the coaster will stand 382 feet tall and join an elite class of giga-coasters, ranking among the five tallest roller coasters in the world while reaching speeds of 100 mph.</p>
<p>The two-minute, 17-second journey will begin with the first of three linear synchronous motor launches that will take the train from 0 to 60 mph before climbing high above The Boardwalk.</p>
<p>Each of the two, 20-passenger trains will speed through the 3,163-foot course with its free-spinning, floorless vehicles rotating independently, creating a unique combination of spins, views and sensations every cycle.</p>
<p><I>BAKUNAWA</I> will hold six world records:</p>

<li>World's tallest spinning coaster (382 feet) </li>
