Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, has been one of the major amusement parks on the East Coast since opening in 1974. Originally created by businessman Warner LeRoy as part of an ambitious entertainment complex, Great Adventure was acquired by Six Flags only a few years later and has continued to grow ever since. Alongside the amusement park, the extensive safari has remained an important part of the destination for decades.
Roller coasters are at the heart of Six Flags Great Adventure. The park is home to a large and varied collection that includes Nitro, El Toro, Jersey Devil Coaster and the launched coaster The Flash: Vertical Velocity. Beyond the coasters, numerous thrill rides and family attractions fill the expansive park, while the Wild Safari offers a completely different experience with animals from around the world.
With its extensive coaster lineup, large park grounds and the neighboring safari, Six Flags Great Adventure has plenty to fill a full day. More than 50 years after opening, it remains one of the most important amusement parks in the northeastern United States.
