![]() ![]() On the other side of the building is a small food stand and a few picnic tables. There is a small building that has a few reptiles in tanks – snakes, lizards, a sloth. Camp Adventura has potential, however it is not ready to the point that it should be yet especially if they are making it a required stop. If you had a great seat, you now had to give it up and hope that you got a good seat on the next truck as well. It caused some confusion because up until the time we pulled in, no one knew there was a stop that involved switching trucks. Now I knew about this because I read it online, but others did not know in advance which I didn’t think was necessarily fair to the guests. Halfway through the safari, they do stop at an area called Camp Adventura where they tell you that everyone has to get off the truck. If something really exciting was going on (ex: a baby bear cub was showing off to us) the driver would stop for a little longer so people could continue to watch before having to move on. We saw a great variety of animals, some already extinct in the wild, others close to. The tour guides were great – shared lots of great information, were upbeat and friendly. The open air trucks made it feel like you were at a real safari in some of the countries you visited. I liked being able to spend my time looking around at animals vs the old method of having to drive myself, concentrating on the road. The new safari was really enjoyable! The trucks are pretty big – I think about 6 rows of 5 seats. They had a separate platform and trucks just for Flash Pass guests. ![]() The wait in Flash Pass line was only about 20 minutes. Thank god we had the Flash Pass because I overheard the wait was already 2 hours. by the time we arrived at the entrance to the safari. As I said it took us an hour total to check in so it was 11:30 a.m. Also we heard that it takes about an hour and a half to do the safari so we wanted to do that first so the rest of the day could be spent on rides. We started our day with the safari first because they close earlier than the rest of the park. The only option is to go in the safari truck. Note that you can no longer drive your own car through the safari as other posters have said below. My husband and I visited the new safari tour at Six Flags over the weekend. I would love to find the person who goes back on this ride after doing it once. Maybe if they paid me $500 but other then that its over. One word that describes this experience/ride is HORRIBLE!! I will never ever do it again. We see a few animals and the ride is over. So we wait another 15 minutes and we are back on the truck. ![]() We decide to get back on the truck but low and behold we have to wait in line to get back on. So we get off and look at a pig and go to the potty. 10 minutes after the start they pull into this "station" that has food, some terrible animals and the money grab (feeding giraffes and a "zip line") and lastly bathrooms. The highlight or should I say lowlight of the adventure was the truck bouncing around while my kids (3 and 5) are being thrown around like rag dolls on rock hard seats. Needless to say this consisted of a very avg guide and very few animals. Thankfully we were able to get on the next bus and start our "adventure". After waiting another 10 to 15 minutes we were bumped because of the famous fast pass holders. After waiting nearly 2 hours (short by many accounts) we took a picture and proceeded onto the loading area. The waiting,the money grab and the lack of animals is just amazing. The only thing that can be said is that this is horrible. So being a Jersey native and a season pass holder for a few years now I have experienced the drive through version of the safari and this new version.
