- Holiday in the Park is the winter event at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. This event sees the park covered in beautiful light displays. And several of the park's largest attractions are kept open, including Nitro and Jersey Devil. This is one of the best times of year to visit the park, particularly for kids and families. And don't let the cold weather keep you from visiting. This park is very aggressive running their rides in crazy weather conditions.

Nearly 50 dollars per car!!! Makes the pass that includes parking far more of a must. That’s insane.
I thought CP, and KI charging 30 was insane.
It definitely becomes a must for at least one person per party.
At the end, you nailed something huge, the crowds at Winter holiday events seem to be more behaved than the Summertime crowds and even falltime ones.
I think it was beyond gross to see a random violent fight break out at Cedar Point in front of children. This event looks really nice. I would love to hit up Nitro in cold temperatures, it would make me feel like a soldier in WWII on a plane.
It's nice having the more relaxed crowds at these events. Halloween crowds tend to be the rowdiest for me.
Jersey devil 😈 that’s an awesome name for a coaster
I like the name too.
It has always sounded like the best Christmas event in the Northeast. I bailed on my Silver Dollar City plans yesterday, because the temperature forecast in the upper 30s meant 3 of the 4 thrill coasters would never open. It's the same 4-hour drive for me.
My Great Adventure summer weekday visits have had very minimal crowds. Rerides on Nitro and El Toro were common. I've even walked onto Kingda Ka. I can see it being busier next year, since the fall sale prices were back to around 2021 levels.
I've been to Holiday in the Park on a cold day and marathoned Outlaw Run. I was the only person riding it the last hour so security was waiting for me at close to take me out as part of their sweep.
@@CanobieCoaster Outlaw Run is the one that can operate down to 34 degrees. The other 3 have to close at 40 or 41. I love Outlaw Run, but I'd rather go at times that I can get on all 4.
I have not been to this event, but I have been to a similar even at bgt, and that is by far my favorite park visit. The lights a spectacular
I don't think it's fair to compare to parks with warmer climates that basically just keep the park open.
Great video review of Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Great Adventure 🏆🥳🎢
I went last year and it was a wonderful experience.
I plan to go on Sunday - New Year’s Eve Day. But only for a few hours (I have a membership which saves on the outrageous parking fee). Since I live on Long Island, I will stop at Luna Park on the way back home for my third visit to Frost Fest, Luna Park’s first ever winter event. Cyclone, Tickler and Circus Coaster are open during Frost Fest, along with quite a few rides in the main section of Luna Park. It’s beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. There’s even a skating rink, sizable central Christmas tree and special booths that sell holiday treats, including turkey legs and chili! There’s also a quartet of carolers that sing in front of the big Christmas tree.
Cyclone is super fast, even in the cold weather.
One attraction that you didn’t mention at Holiday in the Park at SFGA is the Houdini ride. Do you know if this attraction is open for Holiday in the Park?
Your videos are top notch! Keep up the excellent work.
Happy New Year 🥳🎉🎈
Thanks! Good to know Cyclone runs well in the cold. I was worried given I haven't heard many reports this time of year.
Let’s hope they open the boardwalk area for this next year
I would love for it to reopen, but I don't see them making that available again.
I enjoyed this review. You should have a day planned where all the folks whom watch your channel meet up at GADV for HITP
I haven't done meet-ups since plans can be fluid because of weather/other factors.
Went yesterday, and it drizzled the whole time, Wonder Woman was absolutely insane, the rain felt like thumbtacks on my face, it was absolutely wild, I also almost vallyed on nitros first camelback
That sounds like a prime HITP experience.
I was there today, and it took 2 hours for Nitro to open, and JDC opened for approx 20 minutes at 5PM before breaking down for the rest of the day. Batman also only had the front 4 rows open until the mid-afternoon, and the normal queue was flooded so everyone went through the Flash Pass Line. Nitro ran like a dream at the end of the night, and found a spot in my top 10. the first half had genuinely good airtime on both ends, and the midcourse tapped the train slightly
Dude same. I was wondering why so many people were leaving the pine barrens section and yeah the park was pretty slammed
Glad you got great rides on Nitro!
@@CanobieCoaster yeah, they were great! I'm also going back on New Year's Day, so I'm excited to hopefully get on Jersey Devil and the Skyride
Holiday in the Park is not for me because I live in Ohio and I travel here for all the big coasters. Kingda Ka is my main attraction.
I used to be like that, but have found that I just kind of like being at the park too. We are at KI right now. You should come down for NYE. At least we have Mystic, and FoF. There might be a few coaster club people coming down.
That's fair.
Holiday Craze Mirror Maze was free this year
Thanks for sharing! When I looked at the map it still said it cost money, so it must have been a late decision.
Today Batmans line was insane, like 45 minutes. Jersey Devil was closed for the day, and I got stuck on Dark Knight for 10 minutes after an error in the ride. Not a good day tbh, but still a great park
Yo, I was in line for Dark Knight when it broke down yesterday. That's funny
@@WasowskiSings I was in the car that was about to leave the station (the first car). I couldn't get out for the 10 minutes cuz my restraint was locked
I can see it being quite busy now, since this is usually the busiest week of the year for amusement parks.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan It was busy but the partial reason why Batman was 45 min wait was because they only ran 1 train with the first 4 rows, instead of the full 8
That's a big crowd for HITP.
Even when I’ve ridden Nitro during Holiday in the Park, the midcourse trims still always hit for me. I must’ve gotten very unlucky.
It needs to be extremely cold (20s) and/or windy with a minimally loaded train.
I've never come off of the Batman at St. Louis, my home park, with tingly legs because their ops are so slow you spend about 5 minutes stacked behind the loading train. :(
Note: It's not the ops themselves directly at fault but the staffing of the park causing there to be no height checking or loose article checking till you've gotten to your seat.
The St. Louis Batman is smooth and forceful at least! And I like the black paint.
I went to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags Over Georgia, and the experience was relatively similar to Great Adventure. The Christmas music definitely gets old quick.
All the Six Flags parks seem to have a short loop of songs.
Great America used to have holiday in the park pre-2022 & it was very popular, but they still got rid of it for some reason and it hasn’t returned
That is sad. My home park, Frontier City, also got cut. I hope that if the merger goes through, we'll see some of them come back.
I was sad that park stopped it. I loved seeing clips of Raging Bull running in snow.
I hate that they don’t open Medusa and Runaway Mine Train during this
There were rumors they were considering it a few years ago, but it never happened.
Is it just me or are the Justice League dark rides better than any shooting dark ride at a Disney or Universal park?
I don’t think so, but it’s good, I broke down for 10 minutes though
@@CoastersAndWater Maybe I've just gotten lucky but, I've been on the SFOG, SFOT, and SFGADV versions and non have broken down on me. Also, Men in Black broke down on my most recent ride earlier this year.
I much prefer Men in Black and Toy Story, but I would take it over Buzz.
I guess it's just me then 🤣

?
Is that $50 parking fee just for Holiday In The Park or is that the new price for this parks lot overall?
If it's overall, it's probably better to purchase one of those Six Flags platinum passes (whatever they're called) as parking is free, it gets you access to the waterpark next-door, and Dorney Park, which is now part of Six Flags, is not too far away and get you in there to.
Great Adventure had high parking rates all year.
I wouldn't suggest going to Dorney with your Six Flags pass, and expect to be let in just yet. Honestly, the merger isn't even final yet, and 2024 passes are gonna probably only work at SF or CF parks, whichever you bought for. That likely won't be a thing until 2025.
The season passes are not combined yet and won't be for at least a few years
. So no you could not go to dorney .
@chuck4714 Why would it take a few years? Why would they not be included in one pass entirely right away?
@mitchellries256 The merger isn't final yet. It could still not happen, but I think it will, sometime in the spring or early summer. Afterwards, they'll have to evaluate how to operate the passes. They could decide to continue to operate the chains separately. Herschend actually operates each park separately. If they decide to combine the 2 chains, expect a higher price for the pass. The 2025 pass would be the earliest we can expect to see it, and probably only if they can decide by August.
I got a minimum verification ride on Nitro recently at Holiday in the Park because of my puffy jacket. It was the best airtime I ever had experienced on that ride. 🎢🎢
Wow!
