Jackson Township, NJ – Power Outage At Great Adventure Theme Park

Jackson Township, NJ – A power outage at a New Jersey amusement park left some patrons briefly stuck on rides, but no injuries were reported.

But it’s not yet known what caused Sunday’s outage at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township.

Park spokeswoman Kaitlyn Turi says all guests who were on rides when the outage occurred were safely unloaded within 20 minutes.

Power was restored to portions of the park a short time later, and following a safety check some rides resumed normal operations. The specific rides affected by the outage were not immediately disclosed.

In August, the Nitro roller coaster at Great Adventure lost power partway up its 233-foot peak, forcing riders to walk down along the tracks to the ground.
