The "topping off" 130 feet in the sky marks the completion of track construction on Six Flags Great Adventure's highly-anticipated scream machine.
Stretching over 3,000 feet and reaching speeds of 58 miles per hour, it's being being billed as the world's tallest, longest and fastest single-rail coaster.
Inspired by infamous New Jersey mythology, the cutting-edge coaster will feature five intense elements including three dramatic inversions.
Following the topping off, construction, maintenance, and engineering teams will focus on:
- Installing the chain link lift mechanism that will hoist riders to the top of the 13-story hill

- Adding four devilishly-designed trains that feature an inline style, with riders sitting low and single file while straddling the smooth, I-beam track
- Building the ride station including a moving platform, transfer track, maintenance area and queue;
- Installing the ride controls
- Extensive ride testing
- Inspections and NJ state certification.

Daredevils can expect to climb aboard at some point later this year.
