Six Flags Great Adventure has shared some amazing new photos of the Jersey Devil Coaster's lead cars, which as shown in the preview animation feature the character himself.  They say the devil is in the details, and that's quite literally true of these lead cars, which have an amazing amount of detail baked into them!

The Jersey Devil Coaster will feature several trains with these fantastic lead cars, which appear to be swallowing the track as they move through the course.  The ride will be one of Rocky Mountain Construction's new Raptor designs, the largest that they've done to date.  It will use a single rail for the trains to ride on, giving passengers a low center of gravity and a thrilling experience.  The ride will stand 130 feet tall, feature 3,000 feet of track and top speeds of 58 miles per hour via an 87 degree first drop.  The devil will no doubt make sure that there's plenty of air time on that drop!

Six Flags Great Adventure has been making great progress on the ride during this winter, keeping us wonderfully updated as they go.  Above are some of the supports for the ride that have already arrived at the park - several truckloads worth are already on site.  No track has appeared just yet, but I'm sure that's not far off!

The park's update also notes that they have now poured the ride's final 12 pier caps, which means that the process of creating the ride's foundations is nearly complete.  We all know that means that vertical construction isn't too far off, which is quite an exciting time for the park.
