MisterBrow Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Back in the 70's my folks had a bear eat the vinyl top off their Nova.
RaceBoarder Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 I'd wager to say that although it's unlikely, damage seems plausible with this. This isn't something new however. It went so far as to become a sitcom gag (Simpsons Season 2 ---> Discount Lion Safari). I dunno how prevalent drive thru safari types of places were, but the concept was out there enough to establish itself in pop culture.
Jason Maier Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Back in the 70's my folks had a bear eat the vinyl top off their Nova. Wonder if that bear got indigestion?
coasterbill Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 I feel like everyone in the New Jersey area has a childhood Action Park story and a Six Flags Safari monkey destroying their car story. Some of those stories are true and hilarious, some are total fish stories but it’s basically a requirement that you have them.
KBrylczyk Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 I feel like everyone in the New Jersey area has a childhood Action Park story and a Six Flags Safari monkey destroying their car story. And Seaside Heights shenanigans. And Wildwood crackheads.
Genx24 Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 More details on the safari. Reservations begin on 5/27, and the safari starts 5/30. This page on their website has more details. https://www.sixflags.com/greatadventure/attractions/safari
Satans Hockey Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 More details on the safari. Reservations begin on 5/27, and the safari starts 5/30. This page on their website has more details. https://www.sixflags.com/greatadventure/attractions/safari Apparently this was a mess today with the website crashing and people having difficulty trying to make a reservation.
Sluggo77 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 I waited until this evening and had no issues. I could have booked this weekend but choose next Sunday the 7th instead to let the park get used to operations and also to avoid the have to be there first crowd. Never did the drive-thru back in the day so we are really looking forward to it!
boldikus Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 On this date 24 years ago, Skull Mountain began accepting membership applications.
Sluggo77 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 For anyone in the area I highly recommend the temporary drive-thru Safari. The park is handling it great and it made for a fun and enjoyable visit!
Sluggo77 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 ^Thanks! Really cool to see the baboons getting the public view again too!
prozach626 Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 I'm not surprised the Safari is still kick ass. It seems like a real shining star in the park. Until the end when they remind you of how awesome humans are by deforestation and killing off animal species one at a time... Those bastards talked me into buying the $5 donation pin. It's the only way you can buy back some of your good conscious, so hopefully they still sell that guilt over your car radio or something.
sfkk Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 ^Lol how much of that $5 pin actually went to conservation? Knowing how Six Flags charges $10 for a bottle of water, I wouldn't put it past them to take a massive cut. "Ohh it's conservation of OUR OWN animals, AKA we use that money to buy food to feed the safari animals" JK that actually sounds like a pretty nice gesture to do

Well I'll be ready to make the trip up from Maryland
Genx24 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Great news. Looking forward to the park announcing their plans.
AmyUD06 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Couldn't care less about SFGAdv, but hooray for Morey's.
boldikus Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 ^ Moreys has been on a hiring spree, and most of their bars with outdoor seating have been open already. They'll no doubt announce full opening plans soon (though sounds like Adventure pier will not open at all this year).
coneyislandchris Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 If Great Adventure manages to run & enforce as well as what I've been hearing about ops down at Over Georgia, I'll be looking forward to a trip later this summer or in early Fall. Also, if this means that the end of the Drive-Thru Safari is near, I would definitely encourage anyone who hasn't checked it out as of yet to try and make it before they close it off to personal vehicles once again. My family and I drove through a couple weekends back and it was absolutely awesome. Highly recommended.
Clarimeister Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Anyone have a hunch when they could open/announce their opening following this news?
