During the early afternoon today at Six Flags Great Adventure, the power without warning, went out. After investigation, it has been said that the power outage was due to a blown transformer. The reason for the blown transformer, while not yet confirmed, is that a driver drove into a power pole and knocked the transformer out, therefore knocking the power out at Six Flags Great Adventure. Park spokespeople have said that all the stranded guests on riders were evacuated safely in just under 20 minutes after the power went out. The power company JCP&L is currently working on getting power resotred, and the park has already begun to get power in certain places again. The spokesperson says that once the power is restored to any ride, it will be safety checked, and then cleared for reopening again.

At least this time it was a power outage. Unlike Nitro.

so basically six flags forgot to pay there bills and they shut off there power and there saying it was a transformer.. im just surprised people buy that

^haha that's not impossible

There was supposedly a car crash so that would confirm that the actual transformer blew and not SF forgot to pay to power bill, although that does sound like something Six Flags would forget to do

They make people walk out to talk to people on the brakes in a high visibility jacket? Soooooo glad I didn't work there.

Just a precaution I guess.

Having worked at Amusement Parks, I wish that we had to wear them when I where I worked. I almost got hurt on a ride because they restarted the ride without telling me. It's a smart safety feature.

One of the only things that Six Flags has done right.

^ Knowing them, they probably still turn the rides back on with the orange shirt/cover people still out on the track.
