3/26/2026 0 Comments SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE UNVEILS SHORELINE PIER: A WAVE OF NEW THRILLS INSPIRED BY NEW JERSEY’S ICONIC BOARDWALKSTide brings ashore five family-friendly attractions, shopping and beachside bites late spring 2026  JACKSON, N.J., March 26, 2026 – Six Flags Great Adventure today announced Shoreline Pier at The Boardwalk, a vibrant new rides area that channels the electricity, nostalgia, and unmistakable charm of New Jersey’s iconic oceanside amusement piers. Opening in late spring 2026, Shoreline Pier introduces five attractions — four new to Great Adventure — along with classic boardwalk treats, fresh theming, and an atmosphere pulsing with color, motion, and ocean breeze energy. First teased earlier this month as part of the park’s multiyear Boardwalk transformation, Shoreline Pier captures the spirit of a summer night down the Shore — salt in the air, lights dancing off the water, music drifting across the midway and rides whirling against a glowing sky. The addition honors beloved Jersey coast destinations while delivering new thrills and storytelling. This investment continues the park’s broader growth strategy, which also includes a major new roller coaster slated for 2027. “Shoreline Pier celebrates everything people love about New Jersey’s legendary boardwalks — the motion, the magic, the tastes, the thrills and the timeless sense of adventure,” said Michael Fehnel, Park Manager of Six Flags Great Adventure. “This new area blends the alluring vibe of shore towns with classic midway fun, creating a destination that feels both nostalgic and brand-new.” ATTRACTIONS AT SHORELINE PIER Shoreline Pier’s lineup delivers a mix of spinning excitement, family adventure and classic amusement pier whimsy — each attraction infused with themes inspired by New Jersey’s coastal playgrounds. • Barrels O’ Fun This spinning family coaster invites guests to board wooden barrel-inspired cars that dip and twist like bobbing buoys on the surf, creating a cheerful, seaside-themed adventure perfect for young thrill seekers. • Flying Scooters A nostalgic favorite found on piers up and down the Shore, this classic ride puts guests in control of their own flight around the boardwalk. Riders soar on winged scooters, using the sails to swing, dip, and glide—choosing between a gentle breeze or a more thrilling ride with each push and pull. Each flight becomes uniquely their own, shaped by their movements and the wind. • Wave Swinger This breezy seaside swing ride lifts guests into the air, spinning them above the midway with sweeping Boardwalk views and a weightless, soaring sensation. Its debut brings back the nostalgic spirit of the Flying Wave, which thrilled generations at Great Adventure from 1974 to 2007. • Hypno Twister A dazzling, light-drenched spinning ride that whirls guests through swirling colors and hypnotic rotations. Four interlocking, rotating arms perform a mesmerizing dance that delivers pops of weightlessness throughout this modern twist on frenetic pier motion. • Super Roundup A high-energy crowd pleaser that sends standing riders spinning in fast, accelerating circles as its platform tilts 80 degrees – with centrifugal force holding everyone to the wall. A classic that’s been delighting Great Adventure guests since 1974, Super Roundup proudly reclaims its original name in a new location after a complete mechanical makeover, having previously twirled under the names Fantasy Fling, The Tornado and Swashbuckler. SHOPPING & SNACKS Shoreline Pier introduces a lineup of boardwalk-inspired bites available throughout the area, featuring a mix of savory favorites and sweet treats that are messy, melty and magically Jersey:
New retail offerings nearby give guests even more ways to commemorate their visit with pier-inspired merchandise and coastal keepsakes. ENTERTAINMENT AT SHORELINE PIER A dynamic lineup of live entertainment transforms Shoreline Pier into a constantly moving, high-energy experience from day to night. On select dates and times, guests can enjoy:
BOARDWALK NIGHTS When the sun goes down, The Boardwalk shifts into a vibrant nighttime scene with Boardwalk Nights, a brand-new, limited-time summer event.

2027 Project Goes Vertical, Transforming the Park’s Skyline JACKSON, N.J. — March 19, 2026 — Something big is beginning to rise at Six Flags Great Adventure. The park’s highly anticipated 2027 roller coaster has officially reached a major construction milestone as the project enters its first phase of vertical assembly — with the first piece now lifted into place and the ride beginning to emerge above the horizon for the first time. What was once groundwork is now becoming skyline. Following the recent arrival of track components, crews have begun installing the first sections of track — a defining step where the layout of the ride starts to take shape in real time. Guests visiting the park will now begin to see the scale of this new attraction come to life with each passing day as it starts to define the park’s evolving skyline. As construction rises on the park’s next major coaster, Six Flags Great Adventure is simultaneously preparing to kick off its 2026 season and a broader transformation across the property. The park opens to the public March 28, with an exclusive Passholder Preview on March 27 from 5 to 9 p.m. for Season Passholders and Members — offering the first opportunity to experience the new season and see early progress on this landmark attraction. This momentum continues with the transformation of The Boardwalk, the park’s reimagined take on a classic shorefront escape. Set to debut in late spring, the project will introduce new ride experiences, refreshed dining and additional enhancements, further elevating the guest experience in one of the park’s most dynamic areas. Opening weekend also marks the debut of the Safari Spring Break Celebration (March 28 – April 12), bringing wildlife-themed entertainment, interactive experiences and family-friendly offerings into the park alongside the return of Safari Off-Road Adventure access from within the theme park. With a limited-time Spring Sale underway, a Six Flags Season Pass offers the best way for guests to experience it all — from opening weekend through the continued rise of this new attraction. Each visit will bring something new to see, making the 2026 season one guests won’t want to miss.

 Welcome to Six Flags Magic Mountain! It's our first update in a few months, so lots to get to.  It was a gorgeous day at the park  Full Throttle FINALLY got some new coverings for the queue, it only took 13 years.  Too bad the wait from here took over an hour. For those who don't know, it's a straight shot into the station from here. No switch backs. Typically a 20 minute wait.  Not much has changed in the spot for the new coaster.   Golden Bear Theater seats are still there.   Some work has started for the Bugs Bunny World Expansion!   The artwork is below as a reminder of what's coming. 
  Some of the Ninja switchbacks got removed and the Fast Lane Entrance has been moved. Works much better here.  Still lots of "rumors" out there about the Sky Tower. The last we heard it was going to cost more than $3 Million to get it up to code. And that was at least 10 years ago. So it's likely much more costly now.  The coaster mural has a spot for the new coaster, but apparently it's been here for awhile. Oops.  Some new merch! Let's see if we can tell the difference. This one uses an actual X2 photograph.  And then there's this.  And the much worse this.  Seriously, what even is that? Come on Theme Parks. We all want original merch, but AI isn't the way to do it. There are so many amazing artists out there who'd love to be commissioned to do work like this.  At first glance I was a fan of this one.  And then I looked closer.  Finally, they've finished installing some EV chargers in the lot. I couldn't tell what brand they were as I was driving by. Hopefully they'll be in use soon. I'm not sure if you have to have preferred parking to use them or not since they're in that area. Related Videos
