Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.   The code name is Project Purple.  It is a roller coaster that will be unlike any other we are told.  And as you can imagine…there’s lots of innovation here.    It is under construction at Six Flags Great Adventure where Stephen Kolczynski is the construction manager..

“Next up to go, all we have left essentially is the tower structure at the far end of the ride.  Near 400 feet tall in height.     We’re getting ready to start some of our building foundation, some of our underground utility work.”

With miles and miles of wiring.   Stephen by the way has risen through the ranks at the park….even working as a ride operator for the legendary Kingda Ka coaster.   But there is some irony..

“Were you a coaster guy…a coaster kid?” “ No, I’ve never been.  I’m still not a huge coaster guy myself.”

But millions are.  And they’ll be lining up for what for now is called Project Purple in 2027.
