About Us

A thrilling ride at Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park.
A thrilling ride at Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park.

Since 1974, Six Flags Great Adventure has been Jackson Township's crown jewel of excitement, where the roar of El Toro echoes across the pines and the rush of Hurricane Harbor's waves creates summer magic. This legendary 500-acre playground isn't just an amusement park—it's where New Jersey families have celebrated graduations, first dates, and summer traditions for five decades. From the heart-pounding drops of Kingda Ka, the world's tallest coaster, to the peaceful flume rides winding through lush forests, every corner delivers the perfect mix of adrenaline and joy. The park transforms with the seasons: Fright Fest brings spine-tingling haunts each October, while Holiday in the Park sparkles with millions of lights during winter. With over 50 rides, live entertainment stages, and the largest drive-thru safari on the East Coast, Great Adventure delivers thrills that match the bold spirit of the Garden State itself.

What We Offer

Experience pulse-pounding thrills across 14 world-class roller coasters including record-breaking El Toro and lightning-fast Nitro, plus family favorites like the towering Ferris wheel and classic carousel. Cool off at Hurricane Harbor's 25 acres of water slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers. Catch spectacular shows at the 4500-seat concert venue featuring today's biggest artists, plus seasonal spectaculars like Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park. Kids discover wonder at Looney Tunes Seaport and the interactive Safari Off Road Adventure. Premium dining ranges from gourmet burgers to funnel cakes, while Fast Lane passes skip the lines. Whether you're planning corporate events, birthday celebrations, or school trips, our 25,000-capacity venue transforms into the ultimate party destination.

"Went to Six Flags Great Adventure over Thanksgiving weekend. All of the rides except for El Toro were open and there were very short waits to get on each attraction which was nice. Aside from Cedar Point and Hershey Park, this is the best thrill ride theme park we've all ever been to and would highly recommend a visit here!"

"This was a pretty cool experience! It was my first time there and I went with a friend that I know of. There was this one staff member in the Justice League ride that was just awful to my friend and they told me it wasn't the first time either. Pretty neat rides and wish I was around whenever Kingda Ka was still there that's the type of ride I've always been looking for but it was gone by the time I got here. I really love the rides I've only been on a few so far though. I went during Fright Fest and I rode El Toro a few times, Flash, Justice League, Superman, the one in the mountain, and Jersey Devil. It's pretty fun and very different from Six Flags over Texas. I love comparing the rides for the ones that are the same but named differently the only one that is the same from Texas is the Joker oh and slightly Justice League. And with how big this one is this park I would get lost I don't know how people do it without a map the one in Texas though I know that one like the back of my hand."

"Well this was our first time here, as annual members for 6 years we’ve always talked about coming here and since it was the Halloween event what better time, BIG MISTAKE! Every other park is inclusive, you have tickets for Halloween you get the haunted houses, mazes, etc. Not here! $35 a piece, $90 for fast pass and if you don’t get there fast pass you’re screwed! As someone with family memberships for Six Flags, Hershey Park, Legoland and CedarFair, we regularly travel to all the parks from Florida to Massachusetts to Ohio and I’ve never been to a park that allowed that many people in, it was packed! I mean, beyond packed! Everything had a long line, we made it through 2 mazes and gave up when the fast pass lines were as long as the GA lines for the Halloween attractions😢 It was stressful, that many people and large groups pushing through you and kids, and then they’re just stopping in the walkways while groups of teenagers congregated everywhere without supervision and on top of that I’m walking with my kids smelling weed burning everywhere. Get it together Six Flags, I grew up near Wild world, that became Adventure World before finally Six Flags, we stopped going there years ago because of the fights and violence from groups of teenagers and young adults, now they’re closing it for good 😢😢😭 This place has the same vibes! I do want to come back maybe when it’s not so busy, rides looked awesome and almost all of them were operating, not sure I even saw any rides out of commission which is good coming from Six flagsFlags America where you’re lucky if 50% were operating that day and the shops and decorations were dilapidated and look like they survived a tornado, but unfortunately with that many people, every ride had a 60-180min wait, even the stores had long lines to even get in and don’t even try to get food, those lines were ridiculous, at least there was an occasional opening at the drink stands where the lines were maybe a few minutes, I actually felt like a 🤡 waiting to get my cups scanned when people were just walking up from the side filling up their cups😡 employee couldn’t do anything, I don’t think she could even see them😡 by 830 the coke was out of syrup and there was no ice, I told the lady working but she didn’t understand what I was telling her, she just smiled and shook her head to and down. Thankfully they were fully staffed though, most parks can’t get enough employees to work which ends up with closed attractions and concessions. Kudos for that! As for Halloween, get there early and get out when the sun goes down, we gave up at 9pm, after finally picking up a bags from the stroller rentals and getting out of the park it was 10pm and the lines to get in the park were absolutely ridiculous and long, I don’t know what those people are expecting at that time, by the time they get through security and front gate they’re going to be in for a world of hurt when they actually see the lines inside😱"

From the record-breaking Kingda Ka and the legendary wooden coaster El Toro to the sleek speed of Nitro, the park offers nonstop thrills for adrenaline lovers. The grounds are clean and well-organized, with friendly staff and a variety of food options—though prices can be a bit high, as expected at a major theme park. Crowds can get heavy on weekends, so visiting on a weekday or using a Flash Pass helps make the most of your day.
