Six Flags Great Adventure! Our Review!
You know what's weird? Going to a place that you frequented as a teenager or a young adult with your kids. Every summer until my late twenties I went to Six Flags Great Adventure with my buddies and we ran around like lunatics trying to beat the lines, We jumped from one thrill to another, leaving as a complete and totally exhausted sweaty mess at the end but always with a smile on our faces. Well except this one time when my "friend" Adam told me that Nitro was just like every other roller coaster . It was not and I thought I was gonna die the entire time (which was like five seconds because that's how long the ride is), and hated him afterwards. But other than that particular incidence we had smiles. Adam if you are reading this, I am now mad at you again for that so beware my wrath.
Anywhoo we were invited to visit this popular tri-state go-to this weekend and we brought our son. The whole experience changed as my husband and I witnessed a place we have known and loved through our child's eyes. Instead of dashing like maniacs we strolled. We stopped to enjoy a magic show from Brad Ross which was wonderful. We enjoyed our son's enthusiasm when he stopped and said "oh my gosh look at this" or "oh wow can I go on that ride?" We got to view the theme park in a totally different light and the experience was delightful.
First off, if you think that this park isn't geared towards the younger ones you're wrong. In my mind when I think of Six Flags I think of King da Ka or the Dark Night, ooooh and Skull Mountain! They're all still there, and as per my most recent experience all still thrilling, however there are also a butt load of other more rides aimed towards the pre-Ks and in-betweens.
Our first stop was the gigantic Ferris Wheel where we enjoyed a bird's eye view of the entire park. Then we headed over to the Safari kids area where there were great rides for the kids; a fun, high flying balloon spinner, a car ride that auto-drives along the tracks and the Dropper where they strap in and do a couple of free falls. All great for the youngsters. Directly next to that is Looney Tunes
Seaport where there were swings, a mini roller coaster and three other equally exceptional rides.
From there we headed to the Congo Rapids where we cooled down as the giant rafts bumped into waves and walls, all the while splashing us silly!
After all that excitement we had some lunch at Granny's--a place we always stopped in when we made the trip. My son ordered the kids meal which was well worth the money and featured Welch's gummy snacks, Pop Crisps, applesauce, fries and two chicken fingers.
Following lunch we and headed across the park in the best possible way, traveling on the Skyway. You thought that the Ferris Wheel had the best view of the park? Ha were you mistaken! Not only do you have views but
