Six Flags Great Adventure

It's been years since my last visit.
I had a great time!

We all purchased seasonal passes. We got these cool free cups with unlimited refills, discounts on food, souvenirs, and access to all parks. We bought the diamond package which upgraded us to platinum $115. Great Deal!!


We got there early to avoid lines. Well when you get there early, some rides will not be operating. We made our rounds based on their website for open locations. The kids were able to get on a few rides several times.
I'm not much of a roller coasters person. I did enjoy the safari ride and watching all the different animals. The tour guide was very informative and funny.

The food was delicious. Chicken tenders were big and fries were plenty. Service was fast.
We stayed all day due to rides opening at different times. We enjoyed it very much.

Looking forward to a great summer at Great Adventure!!

I used to love coming to Six flags every summer and for every fright fest. However, I have seen the quality of the park gone down over the years.
The prices of the tickets and food go up but the food quality is sub par and there are rides that are closed more often. Not sure if it's for maintenance or lack of workers.
I really do enjoy their funnel cakes which is what I look forward to every time I visit six flags.
I also love their gift shops since there are always nice merchandise to take back home as gifts.

Just visited today and JOSHUA the PARKING ATTENDANT was amazing!!! He hooked us up with a great parking spot and was super accommodating. If we visit again, we are seeking out JOSHUA!! He made my week. 100/10

Would love to give this amusement park 5 stars for the amazing group of friends we went with that truly made this a 5 star experience and we had a blast. Oh, and Kingda Ka!!! That was it's own experience and what made it worth it, wow.

Sadly, if I were to take that away, I quickly realized this park is unfortunately as advertised. There aren't many roller coasters besides nitro, Superman, Kingda Ka, joker and a couple of others. Oh sadly, about 3 of them were broken/not working so that was also a bummer.

Being a huge fan of roller coasters and amusement parks this one just doesn't hit the mark for me. As expected, it's filled with overpriced food and drinks which I don't mind and my review isn't about that but the rides and full experience should at least balance themselves out. Some lines were kinda long but they did move along pretty quick. I do love the lockers, you can pay for an all day locker and move around as you please so you don't necessarily have to have a designated purse holder haha. We had both!

Our last ride of the day was Kingda Ka which we almost rode again one more time without doing the line but we were sadly the last ones to ride since this also broke down as people waited in line for their turn. We headed over to the drop of soon and that also was closed/not working.

They made up with beautiful fireworks and honestly we had a blast. But what you pay for entrance and parking is quite high for a place that constantly has a ride breaking down.

I say all of this but I will absolutely go back again.

What's Wrong With SFGA?
--Unfortunately, the problem with Six Flags, Great Adventure is the fact that there is just no consistency in theme at this park. If there was better cohesion it would really just make this place more out of this world.

--This happened to us twice, but there should be a indicated handicap/accessible row. When you go with a group of 5 and you have to split yourself in rows, but a group on that handicap line take your seat, it ruins the placement. With that said, they should also be somebody that helps place people in certain rows before the lines. It causes a ruckus and mess and ride flow is not properly utilized

--Single Rider lines should be implemented to improve ridership

--It's not Disney World and I get that, but damn, half the workers looked miserable and projected that attitude.

--The moment it hit 8pm, and I kid you not, the Dip N Dots lady actually slammed the screen in our faces as we ran up, which sucked cause we got stuck on a ride.

--The locker situation needs a solution cause this I imagine is pretty hellish on a busy day

So, Why Would I Go Back?

--The rides themselves are pretty remarkable. The kid themed area is also really coming together. If you are a thrill seeker this is definitely for you.

--Season Pass is EXTREMELY worth it. If you plan on going to Six Flags twice, you basically break even.

--The park is HUGE. I got there early to end, and still didn't get to ride everything. Def worth a re-visit.

--They have mobile order for food, and that's pretty damn handy. Food options are decent (can't bring outside food though).

--Not everyone was miserable. We met some security folks and they were actually pretty nice :)

--KINGDA-KA & NITRO BAYBEEE


Overall, it was a very fun day. Sure there were snags and it's easy to harp on the negative but there were many positives that override the negative. Don't expect Disney or Universal and you'll have a great time!

Came for the holiday lights and it was a lovely experience! No lines, clean park and beautiful service and holiday lights!

Purchased the season pass around the holidays and took advantage of the holiday lights!

Absolutely terrible smells (devils lettuce if ya know what I mean) I got stuck on a ride for 15 minutes while I waited with the restraints down smashing my legs and causing them to hurt. My son was crying from the pain and my Stepdaughter was also crying hard from the pain and fright of unknown cause of stopping. Some rides need maintenance and are in need of some repair like El Toro. I've seen it degrade and get ruffer over the years.

Absolutely love this place another great amusement park!!! Absolutely kid friendly the employees are so kind and mascots are super friendly to all!!! I would 100% recommend this amazing amusement park!

I haven't been to Six Flags since college and boy have things changed. There are two memories that really stick out to me for Six Flags. One) There was a coaster that bobbed your head sideways so much that if you were wearing earrings, they would cut your ears so they asked us to take off our earrings. Two) Fright Fest was so scary I screamed so hard I made the little kids cry.

Now, everything is different. The rides have been revamped and the super hero theme is strong. The park looks smaller. Everything is dilapidated. Food is really expensive. No water bottles allowed. Nothing is allowed on the rides such as glasses, wallets in pockets, keys in pockets, fanny packs, etc. I thought the ride rules were a bit extreme and that they wanted to rip people off by forcing them to rent lockers but the rules are there for good reason. I went on The Green Lantern and the workers did not tell me to take off my glasses. Yep, in a split second those prescription glasses flew off my face. Scariest moment of the day! Luckily, I caught my glasses with my foot and somehow made it off the ride with them in tact and not crushed.

A few do's and don'ts from my present day Six Flags experience:

-Do rent a locker or have someone who is not riding hold your stuff.
-Don't pre-purchase parking lot vouchers. The online price looks cheaper but after the online fees, you will end up spending more.
-Do bring a hat and sunscreen. It can get hot and sunny.
-Don't buy park food. Pack a sandwich and eat it before you enter the park. Once you leave, there is a WaWa nearby and you can fill up on all sorts of food for a fraction of the amusement park prices.
-Do go during off season. We went right after Spring Break and before Summer. Sure not every ride is open yet but every ride will have zero wait time or at most a 15 min line.

Enjoy! My votes are with Disney now but if you need a local coaster fix, Six Flags is the place for you.

prices are INSANELY high. the Starbucks grande was 11$, and they skimped so so much. I'm shocked. Disney world was less expensive. Only 3 people in my group of 12 had it in them to buy things. and they SKIMPED I can't. Bring food from home please. absolutely criminal
