Sunday - November 8th, 2015
The last day of the "regular" operating season was fantastic and
included excellent fall weather, a fun Grape Adventure wine event, and
the chance to experience the Safari Off Road Adventure.
It is so nice to see the park being decorated for Holiday in the Park,
bringing together two of my favorite things - Great Adventure and
Christmas.
Please enjoy these photos from our all day trip to the park on its
closing day... at least for a couple of weeks!

The fenced off area of the parking lot is rather large. |

The line for shuttle out to the Safari Off Road Adventure loading

These two tigers were having a bit of a fight until the one on the right
rolled on the ground belly up. |
Concrete debris from the removed Fort Independence was placed in the
Safari to be added as roadbed. |
Here is a closer look of the Six Flags Bus. |

Look closely up into the treetops in the outer mall area and you can
still see strings of lights from Winter Lights! |
