Jackson NJ, Six Flags Great Adventure Park remained closed through the day Friday after a power surge triggered an outage at the theme park . Hurricane Harbor and Wild Safari were open as usual.
The theme park opening was initially delayed for hours after Friday’s power loss, which happened prior to the park’s scheduled opening. By mid-afternoon Six Flags said the theme park would stay closed. It is expected to reopen at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.
On Twitter the company said ,”The theme park will remain closed for the rest of the day. Crews are working diligently to restore power and the park is expected to open at 10:30 am tomorrow. Guests with tickets for July 22 may use their tickets through Labor Day. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”
Guests who arrived at the theme park early Friday only to find its opening delayed — and then off completely for the day — had their tickets honored at the water park. All impacted guests also were offered free admission to the Wild Safari Drive-Thru Adventure, while some unfortunate souls opted to wait and see if the theme park would eventually open up Friday.
Six Flags says tickets purchased for July 22 will be honored on any other regular operating day through Labor Day. Guests who don’t plan to return can request refunds.
