Looking for Great Adventure Tickets?

By John Broffman


The Six Flags Great Adventure is definitely a must see amusement park! Only 60 miles away from Newary, 67 miles from New York City, and 50 miles from Philadelphia. All one hour away from the tri-state area. One of the best places to visit that can pack you triple doses of memories.

Six Flags Great Adventure is right next to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. It is one of the biggest water parks in the entire United States of America. It also lies next to the Six Flags Wild Safari Animal Park. It's a drive-thru safari; home to over 1,200 different animals.

Great Adventure is famous for its exciting rides and it is also one out of two other Six Flags parks that would be opening "The Dark Knight" roller coaster in the summer. This contemporary ride is a fusion between the thrill of an indoor coaster, story-telling, and state-of-the-art special effects. You will actually be able to feel as if you were right in between the battle of good and evil. The Dark Knight is not just your ordinary roller coaster ride.

The opening of The Dark Knight Coaster was timed to open simultaneously with the release of the movie, "The Dark Knight" on the 18th of July. Since the ride opens on the 15th of May, the riders would be able to sneak a preview of the film.

Great Adventure is also hosting a sleep over with a scavenger hunt and all sorts of contests in order to find eight people that would be able to be part of the first ride of The Dark Knight coaster. The camp out will be in the Great Adventure parking lot on May 14. The participation fee for a chance to be one of the lucky eight is $124.99.

Great Adventures, in addition to its thrilling rides, also have other forms of entertainment and shows. The Starburst Thursday Night Concert Series for example, will be returning this year with shows every Thursday from June 29 to August 14. In last year's Thursday concerts, famous pop stars like Ne-Yo, Katharine McPhee and the Jonas Brothers were featured. Great Adventure will also be hosting the Sunday Rocks! It is a concert series running every Sunday nights in July and August. Already, Raven Symone is scheduled to be performing on the 24th of August. Park admission and season pass fees includes your concert passes.

This year, the Great Adventure will also be having the Glow in the Park Parade. This nightly light show will feature state-of-the-art special effects and custom-designed floats. It will have top of the line parade technology with characters, puppeteers, kinetic stilt walkers and much more.

The Six Flags Great Adventure opening will be in the 2008 summer season on May 15. General admission is $59.99, or you can purchase it online for only $39.99. Children below 4'5" (54") will get a discounted price of $29.99, and children under 2 may enter for free.
