Hello Darlings! Your…read moreHost is back. It's time to get those creative literary juices flowing once more and peck out a trip review of Six Flags Great Adventure. My last trip review of SFGADV was in October, 2018, well before the Cedar Fair / Six Flags merge in 2024. For this here review, we'll cover the attractions we experienced on Sunday, July 19, 2026 and our thoughts concerning the visit on the whole. So, let's get down to the business at hand, shall we? The first thing, darlings, is to be aware that cash is *not* king here. In fact, the park is completely cashless. Please make certain you have some form of a cash alternative with you when visiting here. Examples: debit/credit cards, Apple/Google Pay, sugar daddies with these alternatives, etc. Since my bud Ron and I have memberships, we get four free FAST Lanes for each and every visit (don't be jealous!), so waiting long periods of time for rides wasn't a factor for this visit...we skipped four long lines and did four rides, which kept any wait to an absolute minimum. If you're a parkie and plan to do several visits, a membership may be worth its weight in gold, so to speak. And while you're at it, spring for the meal plan and get a beverage cup. Food is not inexpensive so you might want to consider this, especially if you don't want to leave the park and trek over to the nearby Wawa or McD's. A note about the drink cup: it is cheaply made yet it must last you the entire season. DO NOT put it in a dishwasher. DO NOT leave it in a hot car. It will melt like the Wicked Witch of the West and you will be shocked when you find out how much $$ you'll have to shell out (cashless, of course) a pretty cashless penny to replace it. They won't ever give you a freebie...no such thing as a free lunch, especially at Six Flags, so treat the cup as you would your first born. Here are the rides we experienced on this trip and how Your Host rates them: 1. FLASH: Vertical Velocity (B-). It opened last season but this was our first ride on it. Overall, it's exciting and a bit disorienting. The hang time is really cool, but that's about it. I found it sort of meh-ish despite the other stuff, but if we had to wait on that long line, we would've been unhappy, to say the least. Fortunately, we had Fast Lane, so we went directly to the front of the line, which ameliorated any dissatisfaction with the experience overall. 2. Barrels of Fun (F). Content creators gave this some pretty positive accolades so i looked forward to this one. But darlings, this ride is a banger and quite violent. This is a spinning Wild Mouse that was relocated from SF America and had been completely restored. It's pretty, I'll admit, but looks only get you so far. Things start out okay at first but descend into the depths of Hell as the ride progresses. Once the car starts spinning right round baby like a record baby do things become like going a few rounds with Mike Tyson. It's NOT a fun ride (unless you're seriously into PAIN). Rename this ride to "Barrels of Agony' or "Barrels of Torture"...not "Barrels of Fun". 3. Saw Mill Log Flume (B). For a flume, it's pretty darn good and we got soaked...so go in with that expectation. The park did a great job restoring the ride and like Barrels, it's pretty. It's not silky smooth but fun overall. Ideal in hot weather...ideally. 4. Medusa (B+). Your standard B&M floorless looper. Fun and exciting and a recommended stop here. DINING: Best of the West (A-). For park fare, it's pretty darn good. Both of us had pulled pork sandwiches, which come with tater tots, corn bread (they really want to carb one up!) and Cole slaw. Since I'm not an avid fan of the tot, they went largely untouched. The sandwich wasn't the easiest thing to eat so it's was a fork in' experience, but that's okay. Recommended. Overall a nice way to spend a few hours and a nice time. The park looks clean and fresh, and the owners are making great progress in beautifying it. Yes, definitely come visit and get back to me... TTFN, Your Host (& Ron)

Love coming to six flags! I always arrive early so parking is easy and I can usually get a spot…read moreclose to the front with no issues. Since I have a season pass, getting into the park is always quick and smooth. I usually go with my 3-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves the kids sections. The lines are never too long, which makes the whole experience great for her! Face painting is about $30 which is a bit pricey but that's what is expected at a park like this. Overall, it's always a great time.

Wow! Can't believe I didn't buy a season pass sooner. The hurricane harbor has multiple…read moreattractions great for family and kids. They also have many food options and beverage options for adults ++++ We went on a weekday as soon as they opened and had plenty of seating options. Park was very clean and well maintained. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back daily for the summer instead of the beach.

This place is nothing more than a tourist trap and a money pit…read more Day passes are **$45 per person**, and that doesn't even include the **$45 parking fee**. Food averages around **$20 per meal**, and a single ice cream costs **$12**--they even charge extra for sprinkles. The bathrooms were extremely dirty and constantly soaked. I understand it's a water park, but there's water everywhere with little effort to keep the facilities clean. There's also only **one changing room**, which creates long waits. If you need a locker, that's another extra charge. And the best part? They even charge you to rent a tube if you want to float down the lazy river. I'm honestly not sure what the $45 admission fee actually covers, because it seems like everything else costs extra. This was a very disappointing experience, and I definitely will not be returning. Also. The water. the wave pooll & the lazy river.

Great wooden rollercoaster...but it does hurt…read more I highly suggest keeping your head, back and pretty much your entire body back throughout the ride. There's a lot of thrill moments as well as airtime, and the first drop is pretty good for those thrill-seekers!

DO NOT recommend. The ride is not scary but it is very rough and painful. I have bruises everywhere…read moreand my neck is sore my head was being flung down and was so uncomfortable. The safety bars are horrible because it was basically a foot loose on me I was quite literally flying in air.

You can't see the first big drop, and there is some trickiness since there are times you think you're going one way, but you're actually going another! The "skull" of Skull Mountain also appears during the ride. We enjoyed, and thanks to the line being minimal, rode a couple of times!

I loved that I didn't have to wait two hours to get on this ride…read more It's pretty cool theme being that you have to walk your way through the inside of the mountain. Once inside the rides seat felt small for a guy like me. ( have big shoulders) wasn't a fan of the lights and the ride just seemed like one of those old wooden coasters. Turns and it's ups and downs but nothing to fascinating.

Being it was Easter break this past week. We took 2 of our grandsons. The rides they had opened but…read morethey were extremely understaffed. The wait to get on some of the rides was ridiculous. Also the Candy Factory they have wasn't opened, reason when we asked .... Short staffed. They had a sign up on the front entrance saying we are short staffed. We didn't notice the sign . It was small and not on the door we entered. Your spending money expecting what you're paying for is going to be there. I did approach the staff person who checks everyone in. I have to say she was very apologetic and gave his 4 free passes for the next visit. I'm not there to get anything for free , I'm there for my grandkids to enjoy themselves. Not for me having to explain to a bunch of kids there's not enough staff to man the business. GET IT TOGETHER IPLAY OR CLOSE DOWN AND STOP DISAPPOINTING YOUR CUSTOMERS ! I Should of went with my first thought was Urban Air in Hazlet

Another ride with a very very long line and no where to relax for a moment. There is a part where…read morethey throw off a fireball of heat on the coaster. May have been cool for special effects but not for those close in the heat. It looked like they got lazy designing the landscape because some pieces didn't fit but that's easy to overlook. The ride had what you look for. I have to admit once I was off the ride I didn't mind so much waiting for hours. It was really cool with its twist and turns. I recommend this one.

Do you know Bizarro? That awesome twisted character turned Coaster that twists and spins you wile…read moreyour surrounded by pretty much nothing but you your friends and this twisting spiraling lifting awesomeness that will get you misted! Bizarro is kinda hidden in the back side of the park by where the safari starts and ends so make sure not to miss it because your spending too much time in the jersey wild on safari because this is one awesomely fun coaster that has no floor so your feet are left to dangle in the Six Flags Great Adventure Summer Safari Sun! The Coaster itself is awesome because I kinda felt like I didn't know how it would send me next wile it was a smooth ride overall I definitely enjoyed how it twisted over that super cool looking twisted mister in the middle of the twisting coaster fun! Bizarro is up there with one of the funnest of the B&M floorless coasters which is totally awesome because it was the first floorless coaster ever built by Bolliger & Mabillard the company who has built many awesome coasters at parks everywhere! Bizarro changed it's name from Medusa a few years ago I remember this as I have always wanted to ride this coaster as this floorless style is one of my favorites to ride anywhere and it was the first ever one built so ya you know you totally gotta ride it! Overall I'll look forward to coming back here to be Bizarroed once more as nothing was better than spending more of my Six Flags Day with Bizzaro that day!

It's technically called "Skyway", but ok…read more Typical sky ride that brings you across the Six Flags Great Adventure park - one way at a time. There are some patrons who think that this is a round trip sort of ride, so they have enough signage indicating it is indeed a one way trip. Good for a little rest, a shortcut to the other side, or to get a view of the entire Six Flags park. We went on twice and there really wasn't too long of a line-wait on either side. The staff who work on these rides are generic and barely crack a smile, so don't expect too much in that regard. In a park full of wild rides, it's nice to have a more relaxing one. Worth trying once if you've never been.

This was pretty strange for me. I've only ever seen sky rides in state fairs or ski resorts. Most…read moreamusement parks and Sf parks I've been to, all had a train of some sort to transport people around the park. So it was strange, yet very interesting to be transported this way!

I'm surprised I haven't left a review for this ride yet, so let's remedy that, shall we?…read more The ride concept is fun. You're helping the Justice League fight off the villains (Joker and Lex Luther) that are trying to take over Metropolis. Everyone gets their own gun to shoot the screens and the car moves you from screen to screen. However, the ride is not properly maintained. Some times the guns don't work properly (delayed or not at all) and sometimes there are issues with the screens themselves. So 5 stars for the concept but 3 for the ride in its current state. If you are Just looking to escape the heat outside for a couple minutes, it's fine.

Fun ride. The…read moreoutside of the ride is nicely done with the Hall of Justice décor. Inside looks nice and for a moment I actually forgot I was in Six Flags. The ride itself is a shoot em up with 6 guns (6 riders) in each car - though 4 would probably be more comfortable. It's the DC villains vs the DC heroes story and you just shoot at the screens for points. You don't get anything for being the winner in the car, but it's all in good fun. They provide you with 4D glasses and the graphics during the ride are of course good. If you get motion sickness easily, I would think about riding this. It's not rough, but there are some half spins, turns, and such that may make some feel uneasy. At the end of the ride you have to exit through the gift shop - which is by design of course. The gift shop is nice enough (and pricey), but there are others throughout the park with other selections as well. On a hot day, the AC will feel really nice in here. Overall a good and fun ride. A standout in Six Flags all things considered.
