JACKSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Six Flags Great Adventure announced Thursday that it will soon open its Safari adventure as a drive-through experience.
The announcement was made following Governor Phil Murphy’s executive order permitting drive-through events implementing social distancing guidelines on Wednesday.
The park will return to a standalone, drive-through format that enables guests to enjoy the Safari’s 1,200 exotic animals while inside their own vehicles, allowing for proper social distancing.
The theme park is currently finalizing new safety procedures to protect guests, team members, and animals.
To prevent overcrowding, advanced registration using Six Flags’ new online reservation system will be required.
Once the opening date is confirmed, tickets can only be purchased online and in advance, allowing members, season pass holders, and single-day ticket holders to make reservations at www.sixflags.com/reserve.
Per state, local, and federal guidelines regarding COVID-19, the theme park and waterpark will remain closed until further notice.
"In the interest of safety and social distancing, guests who arrive before their stated entry time may be asked to wait in their car until it is time for them to enter the park," officials said.
