Six Flags Great Adventure,NJ - suggestions?

[seaturtle]

I am planning a surprise trip there over this coming weekend. We are leaving EARLY Sunday morning,returning Monday night,so I am allowing two days. The plan is to tour the park,Hurricane Harbor,and Safari. Is two days enough..we've never been. Also,any suggestions for close by hotels would be great...those offering breakfast are a big plus!

I have been there once and it was a blast. Honestly two days is not enough time to enjoy everything. The safari was very neat. I spent three days there and never even made it to the waterpark. The theme park was so big that after three days I still could have stayed longer. It was just my husband and I no kids so I am sure with kids it would be different. Have a good time!

My real fear is that is will be like our Six Flags in Largo,ghetto,filthy,and not worth the cost. Sounds like it is definitely going to be enough to fill those two days - may need to head up there a day earlier!

We stayed at a Best Western in Bordentown, NJ, not too close to the park, but not too far away either. Much nicer than our Six Flags here in MD!

It's completely different than the Six Flags here.

Only thing holding me back is thinking it is going to be horribly crowded. My husband is certain it will be,but I always associate beaches/water parks with Memorial Day weekend. Gotta decide soon,though.
