Kingda Ka roller coaster is leaving Six Flags Great Adventure to be replaced with two new additions in the coming years, including The Flash in 2025.

Local thrill-seekers will have to say goodbye to one of the most popular Six Flags Great Adventure roller coasters of all time, reports CBS News Philadelphia.

Kingda Ka, once the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world, is coming down. The popular ride has hosted over 12 million rides since 2005. It is 456 feet tall and runs 128 miles per hour.

The space currently taken by Kingda Ka will host two new rides, including The Flash in 2025 and another record-breaking coaster in 2026.

The park in Jackson, New Jersey is investing around $1 billion in improvements over the next several years.

Six Flags is also retiring Green Lantern, The Twister, and Parachutes.
