SFGAdv hosting charity event for last ride on Kingda Ka

Six Flags Great Adventure opens its gates to charity on Friday, November 13!

Six Flags Great Adventure, the Salvation Army and Toys for Tots will work together to unite the community in the first annual Six Flags Friends Hope for the Holidays charity event. Open your heart, embrace the Holiday spirit and help bring smiles to families in need!

Hope for the Holidays runs from 5 - 7 p.m. and features exclusive rides on Kingda Ka*, boardwalk style games and meet & greet opportunities with NHL Stanley Cup winner Jim Dowd and the Lakewood Blue Claws' official mascot - Buster. Additional festivities include local radio station broadcasts and complimentary snacks and hot beverages. Admission is free for those guests who make a donation of winter clothing, blankets or shoes in good condition, a new unwrapped toy or a non-perishable food item.

Guests who do not wish to make a material donation may still enjoy the festivities by making a monetary donation of $5.

*Nitro will replace Kingda Ka if technical difficulties arise

Something tells me Kingda Ka won't be open that day. Maybe because it's Friday the 13th?
