Six Flags Great Adventure and Safari and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Jackson, have temporarily suspended operations and will open in mid-May, or as soon as possible thereafter, according to a press release issued March 30.
According to the press release, while there have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at the property, the safety of guests, team members and animals is always the business’s highest priority.
“We will continue to closely monitor this evolving situation and follow the most current guidance from federal, state and local officials,” park executives said in the press release.
For guests with prepaid tickets, the valid dates have been extended to the end of the 2020 season.
For current 2020 season pass holders, passes will be extended for the number of operating days the park is temporarily closed. Six Flags Great Adventure members will receive a month for each month the park is closed, plus a free membership level upgrade for the rest of the 2020 season and other bonus benefits, as applicable, according to the press release.

New Jersey officials have launched a new online portal to connect New Jersey residents with jobs in critical industries responding to COVID-19. The jobs portal is available at https://jobs.covid19.nj.gov
Employers in critical industries should submit information about openings with urgent hiring needs related to COVID19 at https://jobs.covid19.nj.gov/intake
“The jobs portal will give residents who have lost their job or seen their hours reduced an opportunity to get back to work while also providing crucial support to the industries that are on the front lines of fighting this pandemic,” Gov. Phil Murphy said.
Job openings are in industries that are critical to New Jersey’s COVID-19 response, such as grocery stores, shipping and logistics, healthcare, janitorial services, human services and warehousing, according to a press release.
Job openings currently available through the portal are primarily in industries that are central to the state’s COVID-19 response, but going forward the portal will expand to include any businesses that need to tap into New Jersey’s talent resources, according to the press release.
