close to home
In conjunction with the grand opening of its newest attractions, THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster and Glow in the Park parade, Six Flags Great Adventure announced today it is dropping the regular main gate price by $10, effective May 27 for a limited time only.

THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster, an indoor, dark coaster based on the upcoming Warner Bros. movie THE DARK KNIGHT; and Glow in the Park spectacular nighttime parade join the exciting thrill and entertainment line-up at the park that comprises more than 60 rides and attractions including 13 major coasters such as El Toro and Kingda Ka, the tallest, fastest coaster in the world; four children's areas including Wiggles World; and an exciting show line-up including new dolphin and tiger shows.
