Six Flags Great Adventure bans unchaperoned teens inside park

NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – You might want to grab a grown-up before heading to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

The park has implemented a new chaperone policy that goes into effect this Saturday. Guests 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone after 5 p.m.

The chaperone has to be at least 21 years old and no more than 10 underage guests can accompany one supervisor at a time. That chaperone also must be available by phone.

Parkgoers who are age 16 or older can also be asked to show a valid ID, like a driver’s license, state-issued ID card or passport, at any time. You may be denied park entry if you’re unable to verify your age.

“In response to the increasing incidents of unruly and inappropriate behavior across our industry and at other major entertainment venues, we are taking proactive steps to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone,” Six Flags wrote on its website.
