Complete 2008 operating schedule announced

The complete 2008 operating calendar for Great Adventure has been released at the park's official web site. As noted earlier, the park officially opens on Saturday, April 5 and will close for the season on November 2, a Sunday as usual. Here are some other notes of interest:

* Great Adventure's annual "Spring Break" will be the week of April 19-27, where the park will be open daily (until 10P on the two Saturdays, 8P on Sunday 4/20 and 4/27, and until 6P the rest of the days).

* Daily operation begins Thursday, May 15 for both the theme park and safari. Unlike last year, the safari will not be open daily at the start of the season.

* During the summer, the park will close nightly at 10P. During Fright Fest, in October, the park will be open again on Friday nights and will close both Fridays and Saturdays at 11P.

* The theme park will again open at 10:30A rather than 10A.

Nothing too shocking here, but it's nice to now know what exactly we have to look forward to!
