Green Lantern (Six Flags Great Adventure)
Green Lantern is a steel Bolliger & Mabillard stand-up roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. It was originally constructed at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky in 1997, where it was known as Chang. Upon opening in 1997, it set the world records for this type of coaster in height, drop, speed, length, and number of inversions. It would later be eclipsed by Riddler’s Revenge, which opened at Six Flags Magic Mountain a year later. The ride was removed in 2009, and debuted at Six Flags Great Adventure in 2011.
