JACKSON, N.J. (WCBS 880) — Six Flags Great Adventure is getting into the holiday spirit.
In a press release Monday, the New Jersey theme park announced that for the first time in its history, the theme park will offer a drive-thru experience of its winter spectacular, Holiday in the Park.
With over a million lights, the one-of-a-kind event will open Monday through Thursday evening beginning Nov. 30 through Dec. 17.
“We are proud to debut another way for our guests to safely celebrate the holidays with this unprecedented, magical event,” said Six Flags Great Adventure President John Winkler. “We have successfully transformed the traditional weekend operation of our beloved Holiday in the Park into a new, drive-thru experience during the week.”
The park says that the success of the Wild Safari Drive-Thru Adventure “showed us that families are craving ways to create special memories together that are safe and socially distant.”
All guests are required to make a reservation before visiting the holiday drive-through on SixFlags.com.
Tickets for the event will be available on a first come, first served basis and will be sold per person for each night.
The event is completely contactless and guests are only required to a mask if their vehicle window is down.
