Six Flags Great Adventure is a 160-acre (65 ha) amusement park in Jackson Township, New Jersey, United States, between New York City and Philadelphia. Owned and operated by Six Flags, the park is part of the larger 510-acre (210 ha) Six Flags Great Adventure Resort complex. This complex also includes a water park named Hurricane Harbor New Jersey, a safari park named Wild Safari Adventure, and a glamping resort named Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa.
It first opened to the public as simply Great Adventure in 1974 under the direction of restaurateur Warner LeRoy. Six Flags acquired the park in 1977. Hurricane Harbor New Jersey, an adjacent water park, was opened and added to Great Adventure in 2000. The park is located right off of Interstate 195 and is along Monmouth Road (County Route 537).
In 2012, Six Flags combined its 160-acre (65 ha) Great Adventure park with its 350-acre (140 ha) Wild Safari animal park to form Six Flags Great Adventure & Safari. At 510 acres (210 ha), it is the second-largest theme park in the world following Disney's Animal Kingdom.
