Six Flags Great Adventure has just “topped off” – placed the apex, or top piece of steel track – the massive, 456-foot-tall tower of Kingda Ka - the tallest, fastest roller coaster on Earth. An enormous crane, towering more than 500 feet in the air, hoisted the final piece of steel track into place, completing the record-breaking roller coaster tower.

The one at Cedar Point is 420ft and reaches a speed of 120mph? [http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside\_park/rides/thrill/ttd/](http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside_park/rides/thrill/ttd/) There video of it on there somewhere, will probably give you and even better idea of what the six flag version will be like.
