Six Flags parks operating in New Jersey
According to Six Flags Entertainment Corporation's official park directory, three Six Flags-branded properties currently operate in New Jersey, all in Jackson Township:
Six Flags Great Adventure
Jackson, NJ — amusement park, home to Kingda Ka and El Toro
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor New Jersey
Jackson, NJ — water park
Wild Safari Adventure
Jackson, NJ — drive-through safari park
None of these three properties were among the seven parks Six Flags agreed to divest to EPR Properties in March 2026 (Valleyfair, Worlds of Fun, Michigan's Adventure, Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston, Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Great Escape, and La Ronde) — all New Jersey Six Flags properties remain company-operated.
New Jersey's statute of limitations
- 2 years — the general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey, under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2.
- The clock generally starts on the date of the injury, though a discovery rule can delay it when the injury wasn't immediately apparent.
- Missing the 2-year window generally bars the claim permanently.
The bigger trap: a separate 90-day notice requirement. A federal court in New Jersey has already thrown out a real Six Flags Great Adventure injury case because the rider did not report the injury to the park in writing within 90 days — a much shorter clock than the 2-year statute of limitations, and one many injured riders never learn about until it's too late. Report any ride injury to park staff in writing immediately, regardless of how minor it seems.
Real New Jersey Six Flags court cases
Two federal court cases involving Six Flags Great Adventure show how these deadlines and claims actually play out:
-
April 2017
Christopher Fabricant is injured while riding Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure.
-
July 2, 2025
The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey grants summary judgment to Six Flags Great Adventure LLC and co-defendants in Fabricant v. Intamin, et al., ruling the negligence claims were time-barred because the injury was not reported to the park within New Jersey's required 90-day notice window. The plaintiffs' own motion for partial summary judgment was denied.
-
2024
Michael Valverde's personal injury lawsuit against Six Flags Great Adventure LLC and ride-related defendant Intaride LLC, originally filed in New Jersey state court, is removed to federal court.
-
May 2026
The Valverde case proceeds to a settlement conference.
-
August 4, 2026
The Valverde case is dismissed with prejudice following settlement.
What this means if you were injured in New Jersey
The Fabricant ruling is a real, documented example of a legitimate injury claim being dismissed purely on a missed procedural deadline — not on the merits of what happened on the ride. If you or a family member were injured at Six Flags Great Adventure, Hurricane Harbor New Jersey, or Wild Safari Adventure, the two steps that protect your legal rights are: report the injury to the park in writing immediately, and speak with an attorney well before New Jersey's 2-year filing deadline.
