Mark your calendars for March 29, when Six Flags Great Adventure opens for its 51st season.
We’ve been waiting for the debut of THE FLASH: Vertical Velocity, a new roller coaster expected this spring after two years of planning. The 15th coaster at Great Adventure, it will be the first super boomerang coaster to open in North America. That means the trains speed forward and backward at nearly 60 miles per hour through a 180-degree twisted drop and zero-G roll! In a “flash,” it changes direction and speeds off again, backwards.
Park favorites return, like Batman: The Ride, the Carousel, Dare Devil Ride, Great American Road Race, Harley Quinn Crazy Train and Houdini’s Great Escape. We’ll be sad this week when construction crews finally come to knock down Kingda Ka, which was shut down along with The Twister and the Parachutes to make way for another new roller coaster.
Special events are already planned, including Star-Spangled Nights on July 4 and 5, Summerbration from July 4 to August 17, Fright Fest on select nights from September 12 to November 2, Oktoberfest and Kids Boo Fest on weekends from September 13 to November 2, and Holiday in the Park on select nights from November 22 through January 4, 2026.
The Savannah Sunset Resort & Spa is open inside the 350-acre safari park, with glamping accommodations, spa services and VIP dining. If you’re looking just to see the animals, head to the Wild Safari Base Camp where you’ll board a truck for a guided tour around the village.
Hurricane Harbor will open its slides and water attractions once the weather warms in May.
Six Flags Great Adventure is located in Jackson. To open the season, park hours will be 11 am to 7 pm on March 29 and 30 and April 5 and 6. The park will be open from April 12 to 21, including Easter Sunday. So far, the calendar shows Fridays to Sundays through May 22, when the park returns to its full-time schedule.
