Juanita DorsonneApril 17, 2017The park is great. They have very long waits for rides. 1 hour to 1:30 for popular rides. The food is great good variety. They could use better signs.
Jawad PullinJune 16, 2014Get there around 9:30 am so you can benefit from short lines for the first few hours that the park opens, which is at 10 am
Paulie YagualOctober 7, 2013Awesome time!! Although the market nd shopping places should be more careful who they have working. Customer service was not so good!! Overall great time!!!
Jake SmithJuly 17, 2012Try to ride all the coasters in the park in one day. Green Lantern, Superman, Bizarro, The Dark Knight, Nitro, Batman: The Ride, Rolling Thunder, El Toro, and Kingda Ka.
Benazir MartinezOctober 8, 2018Awesome! Fright Fest was great a little bit too packed but that’s expected of opening weekend.
Ekin HsìehOctober 15, 2013If you need to board the NJ Transit bus back to NYC... the bus does not pick you up where it drops you in the morning. When you exit the park, keep left and keep walking straight until you see a sign.
Roxanne ParetsAugust 12, 2012Buy your tickets online and save 20 bucks! Use the extra cash to get a flash pass. The experience with the pass is way better, virtually no lines or hassle. Its worth it.
CristinaAugust 31, 2014So cool! Perfect weekdays. Nitro and the Drop of Doom where my favorite. Adrenaline non stop!
Charles FerranMay 26, 2017Absolutely LOVE this place. Been coming since I was a kid and now I have a season pass!
KieranSeptember 15, 2013Gold flash pass is the tits! Totally worth the extra dough. Barely waited in line the whole day and rode the front of every major coaster.
Scott KleinbergDecember 20, 2015The best spot in Central New Jersey for long lines, sweaty tourists and spending copious amounts of money.
Robert HershmanAugust 11, 2017Roller coasters are awesome!!! Tickets and food are way overpriced. Be prepared to spend money
Read the guest code of conduct and all instructional signs. They are posted before every attraction. This saves everyone time. Also every ride has a height check sign at the bottom.
Beautiful day central meeting area in loungers behind the big water bucket sunny and shady just a perfect day !
Kirby J💚July 3, 2013Check the forecast if you're interested in a FlashPass. It's pointless on a rainy day when the roller coasters keep opening and closing. Prepare to get crap from people if you buy the ride twice pass.
Nicole McCuneJune 13, 2014Wear cargo pants and use those pockets for essentials. Don't bring a bag in the park. Save money on renting a locker at every ride.
Artūrs KrūzeApril 21, 2014Great place! If there are no big lines make sure to sit in the first line of the roller coaster!
Leave your cell phone in the car! You'll just wind up bringing it back there anyway. EVERYTHING gets wet!!
Remember to bring your own food or buy a hot dog. Way better than sitting in those lines all day! Just for food it takes about an hour!
Brett GarwoodJuly 11, 2015Nitro is the best overall. You must ride King Da Ka just to say you rode the tallest.
Jimmy MilneJuly 5, 2012Wear water shoes, sneak in a couple drinks rolled up in your towel(s). Put money and tix in a zip lock and carry with you. $22 to rent a Locker is robbery.
PurpleMoonOctober 7, 2012The ride "green lantern" really sucked! It hurts to stand in the harness and made my legs go painfully numb. Avoid it and use the time to try another ride. Nitro is always a fav!!!!!!!
Good place to spend time with kids. Some cafe offered gluten free food.- jennifer thierbachOctober 11, 2013if your up for intense rides you have to try slingshot and skycoaster it's amazing and what a rush!
Jennifer SoetaertAugust 14, 2012There is a food stand right by the south beach locker rentals that sells $2.99 hot dogs. Best food deal in the park!
JosephOctober 28, 2013I was there for over 7 hours. 90% if it was standing in a line. I don't know if there is how theme parks are now a days, but no thanks. The 3 rides I was able to get on where awesome. But not worth it
Ryan WatsonAugust 11, 2014Word to the wise, when buying flash pass you will need to leave your ID but an ID is also needed for every alcohol purchase. 1 ID per drink.
Caio RamiroJuly 17, 2012Flash pass is worth every penny. Ride Kingda Ka as soon as you get in the park, since it gets closed several times a day.
Make sure you check out the Coca Cola Freestyle! Over 100+ drink choices and .99 cent refills if you have a souvenir cup or free if you have a wristband!
MetroFocusAugust 8, 2012Six Flags offers 10 different rides, from splashy play areas for tots, to slippery slides with mild, moderate and max thrill ratings. Read more
Arioch DivijJune 26, 2011Buy the flash pass it really helps we bought the hold pass and didn't have to wait in line at all. Managed to cover the while park in about 7 hours. We spent more time walking than we did in lines
I came before summer and it was great. After that, not so much. 1) kids were throwing full water bottles in line; I got hit 2) rules are unevenly enforced throughout the park. Won't be back too soon.
Jason VanderhornAugust 24, 2014Wave pool, lazy river and long lines. The snail pace of ride lines make Great Adventure's lines seem like express lanes.
Eduardo StimamilioJune 12, 2018If you like rollercoasters and adventure rides, you will love. I was expecting it to be more thematic.
Update: got in some more coasters this time around. Spring is a much better time to visit! El Toro 🎢😬🙈
Carlos FloresAugust 21, 2013Fun theme park, plenty of coasters for thrill seekers. Not too many long lines during weekdays.
Nicole HernandezApril 6, 2013The rides here are amazing. You have to go on batman and nitro. King da Ka isn't worth the wait.
Holiday in the park was great. Not crowded at all and the lights were really pretty.
AmmaroOctober 12, 2013Come early and go straight to the superman ride! Lines are usually supershort in the mornings
Jan Michael ReyesJune 7, 2014Get a Gold Season Pass + Flash pass + Food Pass and ur basically set lol
Denise ReicinoAugust 23, 2014Go on a Monday..less people and the lines are somewhat shorter. There are metal detectors so there is a long wait before you enter.
Go on the week day and u won't be in a line for an hour! Get some tan and have fun!
The parking lot is a shit show! The safari line is long and the ride is SO bumpy!
Michael StrekoMay 29, 2011The 8 dollar an hour staff tend to not do the best check of bags. You can easily roll up water bottles inside your towels and bring them in.
The Justice League 4D ride reminds me of the Buzz Lightyear ride in Disney with out the 3D.
