About Six Flags Great Adventure

Six Flags Great Adventure opened in 1974 and pairs a 160-acre amusement park with the 350-acre Wild Safari. The lineup counts 14 coasters, among them the wooden El Toro, the hypercoaster Nitro and the single-rail Jersey Devil Coaster, while Kingda Ka, the former launch coaster, closed in 2024. Hurricane Harbor New Jersey, the adjacent water park, is a separate park. Fall brings Fright Fest on select nights, followed by Holiday in the Park.
