The park’s highly anticipated 2027 roller coaster just hit a major milestone, with crews lifting the first track piece into place.

After weeks of groundwork, vertical construction is underway- meaning the coaster’s layout is finally starting to come to life in real time. If you’re heading to the park soon, don’t be surprised if you spot steel climbing higher with every visit.

And while the future coaster is grabbing attention, one of the park’s current heavy hitters is getting national recognition. Great Adventure’s legendary wooden coaster, El Toro, has been nominated for Best Roller Coaster in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

Fans can vote once per day starting TODAY (March 23) through April 20, with winners announced at the end of the month.
