New slides and attractions unveiled at New Jersey’s largest waterpark

JACKSON, N.J. ─ Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township is once again expanding. This time, the updates are at the Hurricane Harbor waterpark. The waterpark which was born years ago in the back corner of the main amusement park eventually moved to its own site across the street and has been growing ever since.

“The expansion features new slides and an all-new interactive splash play area perfect for the smallest guests, creating a delightful family experience,” said park spokesperson Jennifer Mance. “With exciting interactions, a playful sea creature beach theme, and vibrant colorful slides; children will have more to do at Hurricane Harbor New Jersey than ever before. Guests will also enjoy a range of park enhancements, including increased shade and dining options.”

Here’s what’s new at Hurricane Harbor

  • Splash Island – Kids will delight in the brand-new tree house play structure. With more than 50 play features, young families will love the mini slides and curtain waterfalls.
