Like so many record breaking roller coasters, the Kingda Ka has experienced multiple mechanical issues forcing its closure for days and sometimes weeks at a time. If you are going to Great Adventure specifically to ride the Kingda Ka it is highly recommended to check the ride's status via park's website. It is beyond the scope of this site to keep the operational status of roller coasters current on a day-to-day basis.
