You must be joking!?  I kid you not!  

Don’t worry – it’s not like you’re going be standing in a line for an hour waiting to be shot 45 stories high at 128 mph on the Kingda Ka coaster, or have to a see a chiropractor after being banged around by the monster wooden coaster El Toro, that features the steepest drop of any wooden coaster in the country. 

Nope, you’re not doing any of that lose-your-lunch, wild thrill stuff because the theme park is going to be CLOSED on the day that you and your wine pals are going to be there! 

On Saturday and Sunday, November 6 & 7, from Noon – 5pm, Six Flags Great Adventure NJ will be hosting its first ever post-season Wine and Food Experience!  

The event will feature NJ wineries, music, and the First Annual Battle of the Chefs.  And if that isn’t enough, the Safari will be open for this event as well!  So you and your wine gang will still have the chance to get up-close and personal with the lions, tigers and bears, and if you’re really lucky – have a giraffe or two lick your car windows clean!
