Six Flags is quiet on why it's shutting its drive-through animal park


Skift Take

Six Flags' decision may make sense, but its announcement has been executed in such an odd way that there seems to be more to the story they're not sharing.
Six Flags Great Adventure will stop letting park guests use their own vehicles for drive-thru tours of its animal sanctuary, the company said Monday, 38 years after first giving visitors close-up views of giraffes, elephants, rhinos and lions from their family cars. The amusement park company did not give a reason for the change, which takes effect next year. The Wild Safari portion of the park also will end its 2012 season a month early, on Sept. 30, except for previously scheduled VIP tours
