Green Lantern, formerly known as Chang, was a stand-up roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey.

Green Lantern stood 155 feet (47 m) tall and featured a top speed of 63 miles per hour (101 km/h).

Upon opening in 1997, it set world records for this type of coaster in height, drop, speed, length and number of inversions.

The ride debuted in 2011 as Green Lantern, replacing the former Great American Scream Machine roller coaster.

Chang ("long" in Mandarin Chinese) opened at Kentucky Kingdom on April 4, 1997,[1] setting world records for this type of coaster in height, drop, speed, length and number of inversions.

[5] Around 1999, after Six Flags acquired Kentucky Kingdom's operating rights, the coaster's track was painted lime green and the support columns violet.

[11][12] On July 5, 2010, Six Flags Great Adventure announced that its Great American Scream Machine would close on July 18 to make way for a new attraction the following year,[13][14] In August, a first look at the park's new-ride layout from the Jackson Township zoning board meeting was posted on the JTown Magazine website,[15] and the layout was identical to that of Chang.

[21] On May 19, 2011, Green Lantern soft-opened to a select group of season-pass holders, media and families from Children's Miracle Network.

Green Lantern was Six Flags Great Adventure's fifth Bolliger & Mabillard roller coaster, joining Batman: The Ride, Medusa, Nitro and Superman: Ultimate Flight.

[26][31] Before Shockwave arrived at Great Adventure, the coaster was previously installed at Six Flags Magic Mountain from 1986 through 1988, preceding Riddler's Revenge.

Although Green Lantern was a stand-up roller coaster, there was a small bicycle seat on which riders could lean.

Leaving the station, the train started by climbing the 155-foot-tall (47 m) chain lift hill,[22][36] on which the Green Lantern oath was played over loudspeakers along the steps.

[42] After the ride's relocation to Six Flags Great Adventure, Brady MacDonald of the Los Angeles Times ranked it 8 of the park's 13 roller coasters.

[39] Mekado Murphy of The New York Times highlighted the different forces at play on a stand-up roller coaster, compared with a traditional one: "Other coasters create pressure mostly in your upper body; Green Lantern creates pressure in your legs, making them a much more active part of the experience".

[20] Both JTown Magazine and The Star-Ledger interviewed a number of park guests and coaster enthusiasts when Green Lantern opened; all gave favorable reviews.
