Oh No! Is Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ Closing Forever?

Gosh, this is something I never thought I'd hear.

Could Six Flags Great Adventure be closing for good?

I certainly hope not.

Some of my favorite childhood memories were made at the amusement park in Jackson, NJ.

We would pile friends and family into our family station wagon and ride through the Safari park, as baboons jumped all over our car.

One year, my mom was eating a sandwich in the front seat and one of the baboons attached itself to our car and kept staring at it. She was so uncomfortable, she put it back in the cooler. Ha ha.

We got soaked on the Flume, screamed on Runaway Train...I loved every minute.

I'd hate to see it close, but it's a possibility, according to a new article in the Courier Post and multiple other sources (like NBC News).

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced that they are thinking about making some changes to their 27 theme parks across the country.

In July, Six Flags joined forces with Cedar Fair Entertainment in a huge $8 billion merger. It was first announced in November 2023. The merger became final in July.

Cedar Fair Entertainment operated parks across the country including Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, PA.

Those are now in the Six Flags operation. This new partnership is called Project Accelerate.

Now Six Flags Evaluating All Parks

So basically, Six Flags is taking a close look at all its parks to see which ones are the most important for them.

If they find any parks that aren’t performing well, they might decide to close and sell them.

Great Adventure is safe for now, as a spokesperson for Six Flags said there are no plans to sell any parks right now.

By the way, all other parks are also likely safe, we think.
