Jumbo Jet was a Schwarzkopf sit-down roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, USA. The ride never opened to the public and was removed the same year. It was part of the new Fun Fair section of the park, which had several spinning rides and a small Ferris Wheel.
History[]
Contemporary press accounts quote Great Adventure Vice President of Operations Robert Minick as saying that Jumbo Jet was "the largest ready-made roller coaster that [could] be bought". The coaster was leased from Willy Miller's Continental Park Attractions, along with several other rides in the Fun Fair section.
Assembled in the spring of 1975, the ride stood idle for weeks, never to be operated or opened to the public, before being dismantled one month later.
The ultimate fate of the ride remains unknown. Although Roller Coaster DataBase once proposed that it might be the Jumbo Jet at Morey's Piers, evidence exists that the latter attraction was in fact purchased in Germany. RCDB later listed the Canadian National Exhibition as another possible site at which the ride may have operated.
