JACKSON, NJ – Six Flags Great Adventure announced that the Wild Safari Drive-Thru Adventure will cease operations this Fall. It is set to reopen in 2024 as the Safari Off-Road Adventure, featuring guided tours through its 350-acre safari.
The returning experience will allow guests to board safari off-road vehicles at two locations: Frontier Adventures within the theme park and the main Wild Safari entrance.
The Safari at Six Flags Great Adventure has a storied past dating back to July 1, 1974, when it first opened as a self-drive-through experience. This format remained in place until 2012. Starting in 2013, the park began offering guided truck tours of the Safari to provide a more curated experience.
The park returned to the self-drive-through model temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, that service model will come to an end this year, making way for the new guided tour format.
