One time they even told us that the line was four hours long, so they weren’t allowing people to wait anymore. I’ve been to the Great Adventure amusement park at least four times this year, and each time we ended up going home without riding the Off Road Adventure because it’s line was so long.

However, it turned out that this idea they had to make the Wild Safari into a free ride was an awesome plan. I was kind of disappointed when I first heard about it, as I remember driving through the Wild Safari with my dad at just three years old. You have to had heard by now: Six Flags Great Adventure has officially shut down their drive-thru safari and changed it into a free, in-park off-road style ride.

There is a coaster-based website which allows me to keep a record of every coaster I've ridden and how many times I've ridden it - so I know that to date, on my combined visits to Six Flags Great Adventure I have ridden El Toro 80 times.It’s all over the amusement park’s website, and all over their commercials on the TV. I admit to being one of those coaster junkies to whom Russell refers. Realistically, the safari isn't going to be a big attraction for season pass holders or other repeat visitors. However, I could be wrong and hope that I am. I would expect it to be only marginally profitable if at all, by attracting more guests to the park and possibly motivating them to spend money at the stop-off point of the safari. In response to Russell, I too wonder whether maintaining the safari off ride adventure will prove to be economically feasible. The story of the fictitious Wilds family is supposedly carried throughout the ride but I didn't really pay attention, as I was focused on looking at the animals and listening to the guides there was a voiceover, presumably from the Wilds family, in the loading area that I found almost inaudible. In response to James, the ride is bumpy due to the rough terrain. Six Flags has jetisoned animal attraction in the past (big chunks of Discovery Kingdom, Six Flags Worlds of Adventure (former Sea World portion was closed and the remaining park then sold to Cedar Fair, and even the coming and going of animal attractions at SFGAdv-Dolphin and sea lion show among others), so I would hope that this attraction does not meet a similar fate or simply become a vcitim of disinterest and poor maintenance. Six Flags has minimal animal-based attractions, so I would hope that they have experienced staff and personnel to maintain the animals year-round. Creating a more authentic safari experience in park-maintained vehicles is a good choice, but I wonder if financially it is sustainable (the old safari had a separate admission). The old 'ghetto safari' as I called it, was a disaster that caused more vehicle damage than smiling faces. This is another example of Six Flags at least trying to appeal to more than just coaster junkies. I haven't had a chance to check this out yet, but hopefully will later this summer.

Where appropriate, the driver pulled off the path to get closer to the animals. The ride was so bumpy that I found it difficult to hold my camera steady or jot down notes. It negotiates varying and sometimes hilly terrain, from gravel to dirt to grass to asphalt. From the boarding area, the truck makes a turn and follows a winding gravel path before entering the animal preserve. Prior to entering the boarding area, park guests are required to have their photographs taken against a backdrop depicting a safari vehicle and giraffe. (The promotional literature hypes onboard videos depicting a fictitious conservationist family but I paid no attention to this so will cut to the chase.)

To add to the air of authenticity, drivers are outfitted in safari gear.

These trucks are painted with zebra stripes and topped with a canopy. Riders board one of 18 safari-style open-air vehicles seating 30 people.

The Safari Off Road Adventure officially opened on and is accessed from the Frontier Adventures section of the park, near Runaway Mine Train and Saw Mill Log Flume. This was closed late last year in order to pave the way for a new Safari Off Road Adventure with vehicles and tour guides provided by the park. Historically, Six Flags Great Adventure featured a drive-through safari with an entrance separate from the main entrance to the theme park.
