Matthew RathboneJuly 12, 2011If you get there early, you can ride pretty much everything without a line until about 2:30. Much cheaper than buying a flash-pass!
Six FlagsJune 22, 2010On a clear day you can see both New York City and Philadelphia from the top of Kingda Ka.
Valerie BrownJuly 4, 2010Avoid the boring "dark night" and shaky "batman" and "scream machine" rides and focus on riding NITRO as much as possible, the smoothest ride in the park. El Torro could also be called fear factor. Up
Pretty good roller coasters. But if you go alone, you can ride much more!
Jonathan L.July 20, 2022Fast pass not necessary on a Wed in the summer. There are hardly any lines & the park isn't crowded.
Chuck GeezJuly 29, 2017Great roller coasters. Nasty bathrooms. Rides and Safari were not operating. Still prefer Busch Gardens parks.
Scott KleinbergJuly 4, 2013Take 537 as opposed to 195 during peak times. You'll thank me later - especially if you have kids.
Plenty of rollercoasters & rides to enjoy! Come here for fright fest!- TristanAugust 15, 2011ok, listen up. the Nitro is by far the most ridiculously awesome roller coaster of all time. Man up and go for it! Twice!
Maria HenkelJuly 7, 2018If you're picking up your kid in the drop-off/pickup lot, be prepared to wait a long time! Once the shuttle bus came around, they didn't even stop to let my daughter off.
- TristanAugust 15, 2011the scream machine is what the park is known for. The Nitro is the best but the Scream Machine has the best tradition
Get to the Dead Man's Party show early so you can get good standing room.
Iaisha GJuly 13, 2010Buy a flash pass (even if it's just a basic one). Sure it's an extra 30 bucks (less depending on your group size more depending on the level) but it is worth every penny!
Rachel W.September 2, 2012Kingda Ka is merely a scenery piece. Consider yourself lucky if it's actually open. Enjoy El Toro and Nitro instead.
CindysDelish.comOctober 13, 2013buy season passes now get free upgrade with free water park, parking and gold pass
If you have a gold season pass from any other Six Flags, you can't get in #1Flag
Jawad PullinJune 16, 2014Ride the Superman roller coaster fist! It tends to have the longest wait time.
Mary HannemannNovember 5, 2011At the Grape Adventure wine festiville...great showcase for local wineries...great music and great food.
Lauren GundrumOctober 17, 2011NJ Transit offers a package deal that includes round trip transportation and park admission for around $60. Bus line 308, leaves from Port Authority.
BrownAugust 24, 2014This park is basically one big advertisement. Every attraction is sponsored by a candy bar or a bag of chips. Can't escape the advertising.- Scott KleinbergJuly 4, 2013I lived in Jackson for many years and worked here for several. It gets packed.
ChongsiSeptember 22, 2013FIRST OF ALL: Don't carry your iPhone in short shorts when riding Kingda Ka. #2: Nitro+El Toro. That's it.
OMG! $14 for a damn locker😳 leave all ur stuff in your car or at home!
JJJune 5, 2011Try to go on a weekday in May or early June before it gets too hot and kids get out of school!! Not crowded and short lines for the coasters!!
Emily SchetmanAugust 30, 2014Get there early on a weekday and lines are very manageable. Prices are outrageous.
Dave BrownJune 3, 2012Grab a beer at Best of the West, sit on the patio and watch the log flume come down.
Where everyday is....a Great Adventure. Don't forget to buy the Platinum Flashpass for no-waiting and double rides. Read more
David ReiterAugust 3, 2013Don't bring in a bag. Can't bring on rides. They make you rent a locker for $8 an hour. Grrr!
Gina SpannSeptember 11, 2012They are going down hill pretty quick. I remember when the park was good. Now they have a quarter of the park shut down.
RyanOctober 11, 2010Don't be afraid to keep your hands up on El Toro. I'm about 6'1'' and had my arms up the whole time. Although the structures are low you're fine to show your enthusiasm.
Will GMay 4, 2014Leave your purse in your car because they will force you to pay $1 per ride or $8 for multiple rides.
john laskowAugust 14, 2013Do not come here if you have small kids. All the roller coasters are minimum 54" tall. Even kids rides like bumper cars have 42" minimum. Most un-kid friendly amusement park i've ever been to
CynthOctober 6, 2014Fright fest: are the terror trials worth the money? No. The new "crop circles" was the most boring . If anything, try "wasteland".
The gate to work and get to know some of your coworkers from other departments
Leonardo SantiagoNovember 19, 2016Terrible. Many rides closed included the big tower for all season without any advise in the web site And there no bus from ny to the park anymore (different from was said the site). I had to rent acar
El Toro is the best ride ever. That's a ride everyone must go on
The Holiday in the Park is a must for the holidays.
