Send us your memories and photos of Six Flags Great Adventure

Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and we want to know your memories of days gone by at the theme park.

Was working the Saw Mill Log Flume your first job? Did you take a date for a ride on the Big Wheel, or spend family days playing games and riding the Sky Ride?

Whatever the memory, we would like to include it in a story commemorating the park's golden anniversary. Email your memories to [email protected] and [email protected]. Please include your full name and hometown.

Have a photo that captures your Great Adventure memory? Submit it here. The photo must be your own personal photograph, and preferably was taken by the person who submits it. Please note we cannot publish photos purchased from the park — including those snapped while you rode the roller coaster.
