She also always knew the answer to everyone’s questions, which I found to be really impressive. We watched a few videos on the front of the truck which she knew all the words to.

She was very informative throughout the whole ride and always had cool facts to tell us about the animals. Our tour guide informed us of how they weigh an average of 8,000 pounds. Some of the elephants were actually swimming in the lake, which I thought was really cool. Next, we were off to another land where we saw elephants and zebras. Next time I will bring my camera and I know I can get some great shots! There was an opportunity for a great picture at every stop we made.Įlephants and Zebras, Classic Zoo Favorites! Unfortunately, I only has my iPhone to take pictures and because of the rain, they did not come out so great. The first few animals we saw while driving on a dirt path were Rhea (which look like grey ostriches), North American Bison (our tour guide made it very clear that they were NOT buffalo), and Roosevelt Elk. All of these sections were given cute names that the tour guide was really excited to say to us. Some of them included Africa, Australia, and even New Jersey. The vehicle took off and we ventured through all different “worlds”. I did not mind, and it seemed as though our tour guide did not mind much either when all she told our group “Looks like we might get a little wet on our safari ride today” over the intercom. On the not-so-bright-side, once we got onto the large, off-roading vehicle, it began downpouring. Fortunately, they did let a small group of us on after waiting for a few minutes and fighting with the security guards. Angry parents and their kids left, but I was not moving from that line until they let me on the ride. Unfortunately, after one and a half hours of waiting on line for the ride, just as we were ten people away from getting on the ride, someone comes over the intercom and tells us they are shutting down the ride. I realize now that whenever Great Adventure opens a new ride or attraction, we shouldn’t expect to actually get on that ride until the next summer because of how long the lines are. When I finally managed to get on an hour-long line this weekend, the weather channel app on my phone was telling me it was supposed to thunder storm any minute, which probably explains why the line was so short that day. 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. It’s all over the amusement park’s website, and all over their commercials on the TV.
