Kingda Ka, the world's tallest roller coaster, will be demolished in the near future, New Jersey's Six Flags Great Adventure announced. Fans took to social media to react to the news.

Kingda Ka made its debut in 2005, and at the time it was coined as the largest and fastest coaster in the world, surpassing Top Thrill Dragster.

Rising above the pines of Ocean County is a king of the thrill. Out of the 1,300 roller coasters Taylor Bybee has experienced all over the world, he says Kingda Ka offers an adrenaline rush matched by few.

The rumors of Kingda Ka’s closure have been swirling online for days among roller coaster enthusiasts and Six Flags fans. Park officials have been tight-lipped, neither confirming or denying the closure rumor in an statement to NJ Advance Media on Tuesday morning.
