Look inside: More progress on new attractions at Six Flags in NJ

I have to say, the management team at the park today really does care about the future of Great Adventure. Never in a million years would I have ever thought I'd see an actual boardwalk in the boardwalk area. It's really an awesome improvement.

It's also great that the management team occasionally invites us out to take an exclusive look at the transformation currently underway. It really is a true testament to the leadership team that's there today to allow us such a close-up of all the exciting changes.

LOOK: Six Flags has an adorable new addition to it's wild safari

Take a sneak peek for yourself. Check out the exclusive photos and video below to see the latest progress of the newly themed area, Shoreline Pier, slated to open later this year (plus an up close look at their newest record-breaking coaster, slated to open in 2027).

Wait... What is that blue ride?

That blue ride you see is going to be the park's 14th roller coaster, Barrels O' Fun. And as you can see in the photos above (and video below), the construction crews are working really hard at getting that ready for you this year.
