This park is my favorite behind IOA. Also this park has an awsome coaster line up. If you like coasters this is your park.

I have a rather interesting love for this park. Besides the trash covered walkways, slow operations, etc. I still love it and I don't know why.

The only thing good about this park are the rides. When they're open.

Everything else in this park needs much improvement. Throughput for most of the rides was quite poor. Numerous rides were closed for various reasons, and it didn't seem that there was any serious effort to fix, inspect, and open said rides.
There were line jumpers everywhere, and there did not seem to be a soul who tried to stop it.
The park's No Smoking policy went uninforced.

Basically, take your business elsewhere, since this park does not come anywhere near to earning it.

This is my favorite park. I have been going here since 4th grade. When I started coming, it was a little run down. Now, it is just wonderful. The paths are squeaky clean most of the time and the rides are amazing. The theming is great in newer sections. I love the ride. They're all great especially the coasters. El Toro, Kingda ka, medusa, and Nitro should be a pilgrimage for all coaster lovers.

I live in Brooklyn and this park is probably the closest one Ive got, but its still an hour and a half, if theres no traffic. However. THIS PARK IS AWESOME. They are constantly changing and improving with new rides, new shows and most importantly NEW COASTERS. Not to mention that they have TWO recordbreaking coasters as well as MANY MORE AWESOME AND FUN COASTERS! SIx FLAGS Great Adventure is my favorite park, and it could be yours too!

Over the years, this park has really cleaned up. The rides are amazing here and some of the theming is good.

We drive up from baltimore just for this park it is by far the best park on the east coast. The Houdini Ride is no more and the spongebob is gone too. They did add the Dark Knight and the Fly me to the moon. All the best rides in one place. And one of the only six flags with a descent crew of employees they are genuinly nice unlike here in the largo park in maryland.
