Get there around 9:30 am so you can benefit from short lines for the first few hours that the park opens, which is at 10 am

The park is great. They have very long waits for rides. 1 hour to 1:30 for popular rides. The food is great good variety. They could use better signs.

Awesome time!! Although the market nd shopping places should be more careful who they have working. Customer service was not so good!! Overall great time!!!
Roxanne ParetsAugust 12, 2012
Buy your tickets online and save 20 bucks! Use the extra cash to get a flash pass. The experience with the pass is way better, virtually no lines or hassle. Its worth it.
Jake SmithJuly 17, 2012
Try to ride all the coasters in the park in one day. Green Lantern, Superman, Bizarro, The Dark Knight, Nitro, Batman: The Ride, Rolling Thunder, El Toro, and Kingda Ka.
Benazir MartinezOctober 8, 2018
Awesome! Fright Fest was great a little bit too packed but that’s expected of opening weekend.
CristinaAugust 31, 2014
So cool! Perfect weekdays. Nitro and the Drop of Doom where my favorite. Adrenaline non stop!
Charles FerranMay 26, 2017
Absolutely LOVE this place. Been coming since I was a kid and now I have a season pass!
KieranSeptember 15, 2013
Gold flash pass is the tits! Totally worth the extra dough. Barely waited in line the whole day and rode the front of every major coaster.

If you need to board the NJ Transit bus back to NYC... the bus does not pick you up where it drops you in the morning. When you exit the park, keep left and keep walking straight until you see a sign.

The best spot in Central New Jersey for long lines, sweaty tourists and spending copious amounts of money.

Read the guest code of conduct and all instructional signs. They are posted before every attraction. This saves everyone time. Also every ride has a height check sign at the bottom.

Wear cargo pants and use those pockets for essentials. Don't bring a bag in the park. Save money on renting a locker at every ride.

Beautiful day central meeting area in loungers behind the big water bucket sunny and shady just a perfect day !
Robert HershmanAugust 11, 2017
Roller coasters are awesome!!! Tickets and food are way overpriced. Be prepared to spend money
Hande ŞahinJuly 25, 2016
Everything was gorgeous and the rides were thrilling...
PurpleMoonOctober 7, 2012
The ride "green lantern" really sucked! It hurts to stand in the harness and made my legs go painfully numb. Avoid it and use the time to try another ride. Nitro is always a fav!!!!!!!
Artūrs KrūzeApril 21, 2014
Great place! If there are no big lines make sure to sit in the first line of the roller coaster!
Ivan ZhivkovAugust 5, 2014
I looooooooooooove itttttt, El Toro is the best rollercoaster ever!
Kirby J💚July 3, 2013
Check the forecast if you're interested in a FlashPass. It's pointless on a rainy day when the roller coasters keep opening and closing. Prepare to get crap from people if you buy the ride twice pass.

Leave your cell phone in the car! You'll just wind up bringing it back there anyway. EVERYTHING gets wet!!
Jimmy MilneJuly 5, 2012
Wear water shoes, sneak in a couple drinks rolled up in your towel(s). Put money and tix in a zip lock and carry with you. $22 to rent a Locker is robbery.
Brett GarwoodJuly 11, 2015
Nitro is the best overall. You must ride King Da Ka just to say you rode the tallest.

Remember to bring your own food or buy a hot dog. Way better than sitting in those lines all day! Just for food it takes about an hour!
JosephOctober 28, 2013
I was there for over 7 hours. 90% if it was standing in a line. I don't know if there is how theme parks are now a days, but no thanks. The 3 rides I was able to get on where awesome. But not worth it

Make sure you check out the Coca Cola Freestyle! Over 100+ drink choices and .99 cent refills if you have a souvenir cup or free if you have a wristband!

Good place to spend time with kids. Some cafe offered gluten free food.
Caio RamiroJuly 17, 2012
Flash pass is worth every penny. Ride Kingda Ka as soon as you get in the park, since it gets closed several times a day.
Jennifer SoetaertAugust 14, 2012
There is a food stand right by the south beach locker rentals that sells $2.99 hot dogs. Best food deal in the park!
jennifer thierbachOctober 11, 2013
if your up for intense rides you have to try slingshot and skycoaster it's amazing and what a rush!
Arioch DivijJune 26, 2011
Buy the flash pass it really helps we bought the hold pass and didn't have to wait in line at all. Managed to cover the while park in about 7 hours. We spent more time walking than we did in lines
Wilson CelyAugust 10, 2013
Best as an opinion: Nitro, Kingda ka, Batman, El Toro & Green Lantern
Ryan WatsonAugust 11, 2014
Word to the wise, when buying flash pass you will need to leave your ID but an ID is also needed for every alcohol purchase. 1 ID per drink.
Jason VanderhornAugust 24, 2014
Wave pool, lazy river and long lines. The snail pace of ride lines make Great Adventure's lines seem like express lanes.
Denise ReicinoAugust 23, 2014
Go on a Monday..less people and the lines are somewhat shorter. There are metal detectors so there is a long wait before you enter.

Holiday in the park was great. Not crowded at all and the lights were really pretty.
Nicole HernandezApril 6, 2013
The rides here are amazing. You have to go on batman and nitro. King da Ka isn't worth the wait.
Eduardo StimamilioJune 12, 2018
If you like rollercoasters and adventure rides, you will love. I was expecting it to be more thematic.
Carlos FloresAugust 21, 2013
Fun theme park, plenty of coasters for thrill seekers. Not too many long lines during weekdays.
Jan Michael ReyesJune 7, 2014
Get a Gold Season Pass + Flash pass + Food Pass and ur basically set lol
AmmaroOctober 12, 2013
Come early and go straight to the superman ride! Lines are usually supershort in the mornings

I came before summer and it was great. After that, not so much. 1) kids were throwing full water bottles in line; I got hit 2) rules are unevenly enforced throughout the park. Won't be back too soon.
Audrey OOctober 13, 2014
Definitely go during the fall for shorter lines & great weather.

The parking lot is a shit show! The safari line is long and the ride is SO bumpy!
Keill MichaelsMay 20, 2015
From the rides to the food I enjoyed all of what I experienced here.

Go on the week day and u won't be in a line for an hour! Get some tan and have fun!
Matthew RathboneJuly 12, 2011
If you get there early, you can ride pretty much everything without a line until about 2:30. Much cheaper than buying a flash-pass!
Maria HenkelJuly 7, 2018
If you're picking up your kid in the drop-off/pickup lot, be prepared to wait a long time! Once the shuttle bus came around, they didn't even stop to let my daughter off.
