Six Flags Great Adventure Map and Brochure (2025 – 1974)

Six Flags Great Adventure stretches across a wooded corner of New Jersey that feels part forest, part concrete coaster maze. That sprawl is exactly why a Six Flags Great Adventure map earns its keep—you can lose track of where one skyline ends and another lift hill begins. The safari roads curl off on their own, while the main park’s loops hide ride entrances behind burger stands and photo kiosks.

Crowds bunch near the lake bridge before fireworks, and the tram stop out front is pure gridlock on summer nights.

You’ll find shortcuts if you know where to look—usually just after you’ve already walked the long way around.
