Update on Six Flags Wild Safari

As promised, Six Flags has released information about the changes that will be taking place in 2013 at Six Flags Great Adventure, Wild Safari, and Hurricane Harbor.

In a nutshell, there will now be two theme parks, instead of three--Great Adventure and Wild Safari will be COMBINED.  And so, although the company is technically closing Wild Safari, the animals will remain.  Instead of allowing people to drive through in their own vehicles, they will be offering a "Safari Off-Road Adventure", which will leave from the Frontier Adventures section of Great Adventure.  They will be changing the landscaping and topography so that the trip feels like a "real" safari.  And there will be a stop at Camp Adventura, to allow visitors to disembark and directly interact with some of the park's animal life.

As an added bonus, this new adventure will be included in the ticket price for both one-day admissions and season-pass holders. This ride is expected to debut Memorial Day weekend, 2013.

In addition, there will be another new ride opening at Hurricane Harbor--the Big Wave Racer, which will offer guests the thrill of racing head-first on water toboggans on a 4-story high, 1,800-foot track.  This ride is expected to open in the summer of 2013.

REMEMBER:  If you want to drive through Wild Safari in your own vehicle, you only have until SEPTEMBER 30th.  That will be the very last day that Wild Safari will ever be open to private vehicles, so take advantage while you still have the chance.  I know I will!
