Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey. It was opened in 1999, classified as a junior roller coaster.[1] It is a smaller, family-oriented coaster. It is considered a Junior Coaster rather than a kiddie coaster because Adults can ride without a child and the restraints are slightly larger than that of a children's rollercoaster.
Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train has a single 20-car train, by far the longest in the park. Each car has a single row of two seats for a total of 40 riders. However, the cars are so small that two adults cannot comfortably fit in one car. It also has one of the longest stations in the park, with an individual entrance gate for every row except the first (the operator panel and computer shed are in the way). Because there is only one train, no block safety system is needed and the station also serves as the main brake run. In the early 2007 season, it was reprogrammed to complete two circuits of the track in each cycle. It makes two loops around a figure-8 track.[1]
