When the safari FIRST opened you drove through in your own car, then in the 2000s they closed it as a separate attraction and drove you through in their vehicles that you boarded in great adventure. They reverted it to it's original form during the pandemic.
I was going to say that in the 70"s and 80's you drove your own vehicle through. As to the monkeys, I remember one chewing on the rubber around the windshield and when my friend's father tried to chase it off it peed on the windshield. Good times.
Oh let me tell you there are so many crazy stories I can tell you. The one year my car broke down and I was around the kangaroos I was trying to wave people down. Everyone thought I was saying Hi no one had common sense. The one guy working there said just get out and wait they won't hurt you I'm like what so I'm outside hang around kangaroos. This is back when most of us do not have cellphones if you did it was so expensive have a plan we're talking the nineties here. Anyways I got my car working but I decided it was probably gonna break down again so I said we're going to spend the rest of the day in the museum park we came back I got my car told home I lived less than a 100 100 miles away I got home it was all good. Seriously I can tell you other wacky stories but they're probably not appropriate to be on here so have a good time peace out everyone.
Holy crap I Live in New Jersey I live about 30 minutes away form that park and I've been going there since I was 6 years old! I am 28 Years Old. I'm glad you came to NJ Carpetbagger and welcome to NJ!
I hope you had a great tour of NJ past few days! 6 flags Jackson is one of the best 6 flags parks. The Jersey Devil coaster is great not to be confused by the green lantern :).
I was doing a behind the scenes tour at a zoo, and actually booped a female panther on the nose. Luckily she accepted the boop with good grace instead of pulling me through the bars. I have that as a very special moment. Her eyes went all round. I love all cats.
Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Ca used to have a parachute ride from the 1970's to the 1990's. It had a "sky cabin" that you stood in that went up to about your chest. Because you were standing, there were no seat belts or anything else to keep you secured in the cabin. I remember riding it as a kid with my dad and it was pretty scary. Didn't know those rides still existed. Brings me back to my childhood for sure. 😀
@@ShadowedDemonSpawn Yeah, didn't want to bring this up, but I remember hearing when I was a kid that somebody jumped from one of the sky cabins. It was ruled a suicide, thus the ride closed a few years later. Things were a lot different back in the 70's and 80's with safety standards. We would never see a ride like that again.
I believe the last ride vehicle that you showed, you referred to it as "looking like some sort of dangly vehicle," was from a ride named the Enterprise. This was my favorite ride when I was younger. I rode this ride so often that I could have very well been a passenger in that very vehicle. Thanks for the nostalgia!
@@Regina0964 I know and I wanted to go early but me and my family have a massive trip planned for California next summer and we already planned one to go here and some parks in Pennsylvania so we just won’t have time next year
11:33 Houdini's Great Escape is actually a madhouse. A lot of theme parks in the United States don't have madhouse rides, unlike Europe. There is a madhouse ride in New Hampshire also.
Omgoodness! My home park! I grew up going here. The safari was always a drive thru with your own car. In the early 90s before the monkeys were fully enclosed they were known to occasionally steal a bumper. 😂 You used to be able to tune in your radio to an AM station and hear info about the park (and potentially the Safari I don’t fully remember).
I have a Season Pass to Six Flags, since I live not super far from there, and while I can't ride certain roller coasters or go on particular rides anymore due to health reasons, it's still fun to visit, especially during the holidays. It would've been awesome to meet you in person if given the chance, so seeing this vid show up surprised me. 😃
We would visit in the 70s and 80s. You would drive your own car through back then, but they added the safari buses later on. When first opened, there did not use to be fences or barriers between your car and the lions, tigers or monkeys. The monkeys would climb all over your car and sometimes tear off radio antennas, wiper blades or body side molding. My daughter rode Kingda Ka the day it opened. Right after her ride they shut the ride down, and it did not reopen till the next season.
I haven't been to Great Adventure since 2006. When you get a chance unless you already have, you should visit Asbury Park and Long Branch where the infamous Haunted Mansion use to be back in the day.
That Roller coaster car photo op was a car from the late ride rolling thunder. That is that track piece under El toro and next to the Zumanjaro queue. Also if you head over to where El Diablo used to be kind of where the kickin chicken is in plaza del carnival you will see a wooden archway, that was used for the rolling thunder sign. It was later used for El Diablo.
I want someone to draw Carpetbagger on a roller coaster surrounded by baboons. Also, since you're in the NE, you should go to La Ronde in Quebec. It's a Six Flags park and your pass will let you in.
I LOVE THIS!! I grew up in Jackson and worked at Great Adventure many times!!! More people need to go there. I think a few of the old ride parts in the forgotten garden are from The Batman and Robin ride, and Free fall.
@@TeamRay0421 oh yes!!!! It was kind of scary to be around there off season 🤣 Going by the lake, and the back road of the safari, we heard the lions roar from our house! 🤣🤣
The last time I visited Jacksons Great Adventure, Kingda Ka got stuck. People were on the coaster at the top and it got stuck. I never thanked god enough for getting me outta riding that scary thing
Growing up in the 90s my fam had our annual trip to this Six Flags. I remember the Safari all to well. Back then also we drove our own cars. Our car had to AC so when no one was looking we crack open our windows. It was so hot in the car.
Although I live in San Diego now,I grew up in Freehold,N.J.,and Great Adventure was about 10-15 minute drive,so went there often. I even worked there for one summer.Loved the drive thru Safari! Back in the day,some cars had vinyl roof toppings,and even though people are warned a million times not to drive through where the baboons are,and some SCHMUCK would get their cars chewed up! It was hysterical!😂😂🤣
I'm so happy they brought back the drive through safari. Those safari trucks they had were kinda cool but the experience in your own car is a lot better. The ostriches dance as a mating call to the females.
This makes me feel so old! My family use to have season passes to Great Adventure and we would go every Thursday and every Sunday! We moved down to GA back in 2007 and I haven't been to Great Adventure since, so I love this so much! 😍
Things have sure expanded since I was there in the 1980's. Love the Safari Drive thru. Really enjoyed this vlog so close to my home town of Freehold, NJ.
Hello Jacob thanks for the video and I still have to watch yesterday's one. Loved the air dancers! 😃 So bright, vivid, pleasant and colourful 🌈 the sky lift views as always are amazing and absolutely loved the sunflower bath too 🌻 Best wishes ❤️
This six flags is amazing. Can you believe that the tigers used to walk where people drove. I had one sit on my roof and pee! Same with the monkeys/ baboons. You could chose to drive and have them climb on your car or you could take a side road away from them. They would sometimes break windshield wipers, etc. Some stupid guy rolled his window down and invited the baboon into his car and rolled the window back up. He thought it would be cute to get a picture of it with his baby. The baboon freaked, thankfully it left the kid alone, but it tore into the man. That stupid guy ruined it for everyone else. Thats why they are behind the fence now.
Really cool Safari park! Especially for a Six Flags haha. I used to work at one ,and got to live IN it for a while! In a house in the middle of the park. Always love seeing you go over these places, thanks for the narration and great camera work!
I love that Houdini ride! Six Flags New England has the exact same attraction, where it's been in operation since back when the park was still Riverside. It may be the only Six Flags ride I can think of with a significant backstory and pre-show, and the ride itself is a great sensory illusion.
Omg!! I remember when those rides were in operation. The dangling one was from the enterprise they had, the black kart one was from the monster spin, it was located right next to that ice cream yum yum palace, well that’s it was called years ago, it was like an octopus ride , and the green one was from an umbrella like flat ride , scrambler like classic ride they had it was called Calypso!!! Like the one in Cedar Point.Great childhood memories!!❤❤❤Thank you for posting this amazing video 😊
That last right you show with the human gyroscope on a whole nother level some people say it simulates zero gravity and floating while is what all three rings are moving
Just wanna correct you that first roller coaster that you said was the jersey devil that was actually the Green Lantern, the jersey devil does not have loops
Hey there Carpetbagger, I am a zoologist and while I am not 100% sure, it would be my guess that the ostrich was making a nest accompanied with a dance to attract a mate, or was flaring up to try and scare you away while protecting some eggs that were already there. With the ground dwelling, big, birds it is actually often the males that are more protective of the eggs than the females. That would be my guess!
Hey Jacob if you hit Six Flag in Massachusetts between 9/16 and 10/2 you can go to the Massachusetts State Fait at the Big E at the same time both are both 5 miles apart
Go to guest services and ask if they do a media pass for on ride coaster videos. I know quite a few channels with way less subscribers than you that get them in order to film on the coasters. You'll have to most likely use a wrist or chest mounted GoPro
Hey Jacob, you should have done a meet and greet with us in Jersey. Great Adventure was an awesome place, haven't been in years. In the early 80's they had a haunted mansion which had caught fire and burned down killing several. Also much folklore about hauntings there. The red piece of coaster track in the baboon section was from a ride called lightning loops. As always be safe in your travels, have a wonderful day
Born and raised in New Jersey I have been here many times however the Safari I love the water and I like the rides I also bought my children here. Thanks for bringing this back so many memories moved out of Jersey in 2009 I miss a lot about New Jersey if there's a way you could hook me up we would like pork roll egg cheese salt pepper ketchup on a roll LOL thank you for being us back to Great Adventure in Jersey. Have a wonderful day..
I grew up at this park. The coaster track in the baboon enclosure was replaced by El Toro which reused the entrance for that coaster. They recently put the old ride vehicles n parts in a garden. The caged one is from an Enterprise type ride called Jester Spin n was behind the Ferris wheel. The coaster car photo OP was a wooden racer that was closed n torn down several years ago. It's Track actually interlocked with El Toro's towards the end n u might spot a small piece of it under El Toro when u ride. That is the right handed car n the left one was red. They actually turned the trains around to run backwards in the final year of operation.
Next summer, you, Carpet Bagger, should bring your family with you to these parks, and put them in the video, with you of corse, myself, and probably many of the people watching your videos would love to see you and your family members having great fun together at the park or a beach, or a boardwalk, like Wildwood NJ, or any place really, you seem kind of very alone at these places you go to in the summertime for to show us how much fun they can be, we would like to see you having great fun with your family too in the summertime Carpet Bagger, most people would love it, I know, I would, and I'll bet that they family would love it too.
The blue coaster seat for the photo opp Was from rolling thunder. Which was located right next to El toro. And part of that rollercoaster still exists when you ride el toro
So glad you came to NJ. NJ seems to get dismissed often. It is a such a great state. We have so much to offer. I love it when UA-camrs come here and share. Great Adventure is definitely a staple to our area. Shouldn’t be missed. Just to be clear though…the first green and yellow coaster you showed is actually The Green Lantern. The Jersey Devil is in a different part of the park. And, I’m really wondering why you didn’t have 3D glasses for The Justice League. There usually are glasses. You showed off some of my favorite rides there too. I’m not a huge roller coaster person, so I love that you highlighted that GA is more than just thrill rides. Also, Great Adventure has a lot of crazy history. It is a very interesting park. I hope you get to explore more of our state.
8:13 That coaster is not Jersey Devil. Jersey Devil is a single rail coaster. The coaster in the shot was Raging Bull I think. I've never been to SFGA yet, but I do know for sure that wasn't Jersey Devil.
I am so proud you survived the safari and faced your fear way to go!! I wish I would have evented those tube men I would be rich. Hey thanks so much I got my enameled pin No Scare On Stairs today I love it and so did my hubby, i have decided I am going to pick up the other Enameled pins too, thanks again
great video,i have not been there in years used to go all the time as a family getaway every summer in the 80's and then it just stopped my family just kind of moved away or members passed away over the years its so sad and depressing.
The ostrich was dusting himself in the dirt, it helps keep mites and other bugs off them
Animals dancing and or calling annoyingly is one of two “F” words. One of them is fighting. 😂
This place will always be just Great Adventure.
This is the Six flags I grew up with ❤️
When the safari FIRST opened you drove through in your own car, then in the 2000s they closed it as a separate attraction and drove you through in their vehicles that you boarded in great adventure. They reverted it to it's original form during the pandemic.
Yes! I remember being in the family vehicle with the monkeys jumping on the windshield. memories.
I was going to say that in the 70"s and 80's you drove your own vehicle through.
As to the monkeys, I remember one chewing on the rubber around the windshield and when my friend's father tried to chase it off it peed on the windshield. Good times.
You're so right I did that when I was a kid with my good friend from Hebrew school
Oh let me tell you there are so many crazy stories I can tell you. The one year my car broke down and I was around the kangaroos I was trying to wave people down. Everyone thought I was saying Hi no one had common sense. The one guy working there said just get out and wait they won't hurt you I'm like what so I'm outside hang around kangaroos.

WILE E COYOTE: SUPER GENIUS
Holy crap I Live in New Jersey I live about 30 minutes away form that park and I've been going there since I was 6 years old! I am 28 Years Old. I'm glad you came to NJ Carpetbagger and welcome to NJ!
Visited here this past Thursday and was just checking last night if you had a video on it and woke up today to this!!
My grandmother actually saw Houdini perform when she was a teenager. She said it was the most amazing thing she ever saw.
What an outstanding memory!
@@saguaro2231 yeah, it really did sound cool. I wish I had thought about recording her telling the story, but oh well.
I'm so glad to see that all of the old Bayley Buddies were able to find work after she kicked them to the curb.
I hope you had a great tour of NJ past few days! 6 flags Jackson is one of the best 6 flags parks. The Jersey Devil coaster is great not to be confused by the green lantern :).
This was fun. The tube people were neat.
Spending so much time up north, is a name change on the way?? The Northernbagger? Ha ha. Fun video.
I was doing a behind the scenes tour at a zoo, and actually booped a female panther on the nose. Luckily she accepted the boop with good grace instead of pulling me through the bars. I have that as a very special moment. Her eyes went all round. I love all cats.

The ones on this parachute ride has always been sitting ones. It's kinda crazy they had a parachute ride with no seats. Probably why it got removed.
@@ShadowedDemonSpawn Yeah, didn't want to bring this up, but I remember hearing when I was a kid that somebody jumped from one of the sky cabins. It was ruled a suicide, thus the ride closed a few years later. Things were a lot different back in the 70's and 80's with safety standards. We would never see a ride like that again.
The Parachutes is a Six Flags classic. I'm in my late 40s and always remember it at Six Flags Over Texas.
I believe the last ride vehicle that you showed, you referred to it as "looking like some sort of dangly vehicle," was from a ride named the Enterprise. This was my favorite ride when I was younger. I rode this ride so often that I could have very well been a passenger in that very vehicle. Thanks for the nostalgia!
I yelled"OMG Jacob keep your windows closed"!!Lol!The ostrich was taking a dust bath
YES! Another six flags park you’ve visited! Gonna be going here in 2 years and I’m hyped! This park seems awesome!
@@Regina0964 I know and I wanted to go early but me and my family have a massive trip planned for California next summer and we already planned one to go here and some parks in Pennsylvania so we just won’t have time next year

Jacob, that ostrich was asking you to send him a "No Scares on Stairs" pin! LOL. 😉👍
I absolutely loved and adore wille e coyote and road runner by Warner Bros

my first thought when you said drive-thru safari was oh no camels
I enjoyed your video ! Looks like a fun time at six flags and the safari. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Great Adventure rules!!!
The Skyride is from the 1964/1965 NYC World's Fair- you rode a piece of history!
I haven't been to Great Adventure since 2006. When you get a chance unless you already have, you should visit Asbury Park and Long Branch where the infamous Haunted Mansion use to be back in the day.

I love you Carpetbagger ☺💗
That big Bird is a EMU
I always wanted to see a bunch of Tube ppl 🤣🙌

@@TeamRay0421 oh yes!!!! It was kind of scary to be around there off season 🤣 Going by the lake, and the back road of the safari, we heard the lions roar from our house! 🤣🤣
I had to watch this again. Jacob, you were lucky that there were no camels on that safari! 😁🐪
The last time I visited Jacksons Great Adventure, Kingda Ka got stuck. People were on the coaster at the top and it got stuck. I never thanked god enough for getting me outta riding that scary thing
My family would go here a lot when I was growing up! We always enjoyed the drive through safari and the roaring rapids ride.🦙🦘🦓🦬🎠🎡🎢
Loved seeing you stop by my home town. Hope you had a good time in central Jersey!

You reacting to the "nerd poop" had me chuckling 😆💩
What a steal for $150, wow!
Things have sure expanded since I was there in the 1980's. Love the Safari Drive thru. Really enjoyed this vlog so close to my home town of Freehold, NJ.
My home town is Freehold too!! Yay!! Fellow Jacob watchers from Freehold!! Now I’m in Raritan, NJ!
I'm 53.I grew up in Freehold! LOVED Great Adventure!
Freehold?! Thats where i live! Things sure have changed.
It's been a while since I was at Six Flag's Great Adventure. I remember when they use to drive you through the Wild Safari Park. 🐵🐵🐯🐯🦁🦁🦒🦒🐒🐒🦍🦍🦣🦣🦔🦔.

great video! I was cracking up at you re-inacting a rollar coaster experience on the photo opp. So funny!!
This will be fun! Thanks for the postcard Jacob!!

The Carpetbagger can you do a video of going to Lost Island Theme Park and doing the attractions there.
Because it's supposed to be some kind of ostrich mating dance
I've seen it plenty on Carpetbagger's, but Im all for subscribing to the new channel, "Jacob Talks To Animals That Cannot Hear Him"
I’ve never done a drive-through safari. Pretty cool. I did get to feed a giraffe at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California.
Really cool Safari park! Especially for a Six Flags haha. I used to work at one ,and got to live IN it for a while! In a house in the middle of the park. Always love seeing you go over these places, thanks for the narration and great camera work!
I love that Houdini ride! Six Flags New England has the exact same attraction, where it's been in operation since back when the park was still Riverside.
It may be the only Six Flags ride I can think of with a significant backstory and pre-show, and the ride itself is a great sensory illusion.
I think I went into the drive-through Safari one time in those trucks. I miss the old times.😢
31:20 Just FYI, this coaster is Green Lantern, not the Jersey Devil. Jersey Devil is a single rail coaster located at the west end of the park.
It's too bad he didn't go back further into the park. He would of seen the awesome devil in front of it lol.
That wood coaster looks genuinely intimidating
They locked up the baboons?! I remember them sitting on our car!
You were at my home park!!! Dang. I wish I saw you there lol
In the wild a lion pride will have a few males, all usually related to each other. Some can have multiple male pride leaders that are usually brothers
Just ordered my no scares on stairs pin. I will proudly wear it during the most scariest time of the year!!!! 🎃
the first male ostrich was doing a dance for the lady ostriches! aka a mating dance…
Omg!! I remember when those rides were in operation. The dangling one was from the enterprise they had, the black kart one was from the monster spin, it was located right next to that ice cream yum yum palace, well that’s it was called years ago, it was like an octopus ride , and the green one was from an umbrella like flat ride , scrambler like classic ride they had it was called Calypso!!! Like the one in Cedar Point.Great childhood memories!!❤❤❤Thank you for posting this amazing video 😊
That ostrich was doing a mating dance. He was trying to pick up some chicks 😉
That last right you show with the human gyroscope on a whole nother level
some people say it simulates zero gravity and floating while is what all three rings are moving
Just wanna correct you that first roller coaster that you said was the jersey devil that was actually the Green Lantern, the jersey devil does not have loops
Jersey Devil does have loops. It doesn’t have a standard loop but it twirls and flips and goes upside down.
your videos brighten my day! :)
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Hello Jacob I was there with my stepmother and dad and it was awesome… but now I’m moving to savanna Georgia for a new chapter in my life
Hey there Carpetbagger, I am a zoologist and while I am not 100% sure, it would be my guess that the ostrich was making a nest accompanied with a dance to attract a mate, or was flaring up to try and scare you away while protecting some eggs that were already there. With the ground dwelling, big, birds it is actually often the males that are more protective of the eggs than the females. That would be my guess!
Hey Jacob if you hit Six Flag in Massachusetts between 9/16 and 10/2 you can go to the Massachusetts State Fait at the Big E at the same time both are both 5 miles apart
It's never called Six Flags here in NJ. It's Great Adventure!!
Been watching since 2017. I love these videos. Go to some cool places. And some cool abandoned places.
Over Georgia next time please
I have been there at least 10 times every season since 2012. LOVE IT THERE
Go to guest services and ask if they do a media pass for on ride coaster videos.
I know quite a few channels with way less subscribers than you that get them in order to film on the coasters.
You'll have to most likely use a wrist or chest mounted GoPro
Hey Jacob, you should have done a meet and greet with us in Jersey.
Great Adventure was an awesome place, haven't been in years.
In the early 80's they had a haunted mansion which had caught fire and burned down killing several. Also much folklore about hauntings there. The red piece of coaster track in the baboon section was from a ride called lightning loops.
As always be safe in your travels, have a wonderful day
Hey, my old stomping grounds! Haven't been there in forever!
Born and raised in New Jersey I have been here many times however the Safari I love the water and I like the rides I also bought my children here. Thanks for bringing this back so many memories moved out of Jersey in 2009 I miss a lot about New Jersey if there's a way you could hook me up we would like pork roll egg cheese salt pepper ketchup on a roll LOL thank you for being us back to Great Adventure in Jersey. Have a wonderful day..
Love that your in my State!!
I wish you did a Meet and Greet in each state . Id totally Pay for that!!
I grew up at this park. The coaster track in the baboon enclosure was replaced by El Toro which reused the entrance for that coaster. They recently put the old ride vehicles n parts in a garden.

Next summer, you, Carpet Bagger, should bring your family with you to these parks, and put them in the video, with you of corse, myself, and probably many of the people watching your videos would love to see you and your family members having great fun together at the park or a beach, or a boardwalk, like Wildwood NJ, or any place really, you seem kind of very alone at these places you go to in the summertime for to show us how much fun they can be, we would like to see you having great fun with your family too in the summertime Carpet Bagger, most people would love it, I know, I would, and I'll bet that they family would love it too.
The blue coaster seat for the photo opp Was from rolling thunder. Which was located right next to El toro. And part of that rollercoaster still exists when you ride el toro
Oh my god your like 20 minutes away from me!
This was the closest theme park when I was growing up. But sad to say I never loved it.
Interesting fact. That skyride was at the same world's fair at Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress
I did not know that!
So glad you came to NJ. NJ seems to get dismissed often. It is a such a great state. We have so much to offer. I love it when UA-camrs come here and share. Great Adventure is definitely a staple to our area. Shouldn’t be missed.
Just to be clear though…the first green and yellow coaster you showed is actually The Green Lantern. The Jersey Devil is in a different part of the park.
And, I’m really wondering why you didn’t have 3D glasses for The Justice League. There usually are glasses.
You showed off some of my favorite rides there too. I’m not a huge roller coaster person, so I love that you highlighted that GA is more than just thrill rides.
Also, Great Adventure has a lot of crazy history. It is a very interesting park.
I hope you get to explore more of our state.
If it's for an attractions park i'm always here !
8:13 That coaster is not Jersey Devil. Jersey Devil is a single rail coaster. The coaster in the shot was Raging Bull I think. I've never been to SFGA yet, but I do know for sure that wasn't Jersey Devil.
I am so proud you survived the safari and faced your fear way to go!! I wish I would have evented those tube men I would be rich. Hey thanks so much I got my enameled pin No Scare On Stairs today I love it and so did my hubby, i have decided I am going to pick up the other Enameled pins too, thanks again
Six Flags Texas had a parachute ride like the one here 30 years ago.
great video,i have not been there in years used to go all the time as a family getaway every summer in the 80's and then it just stopped my family just kind of moved away or members passed away over the years its so sad and depressing.
