JACKSON-Jackson Township has high hopes for future development along the Interstate 195 corridor that runs through the entire northern section of the 100 square mile town. Plans were recently unveiled by the New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs that could see a hotel, retail complex and other projected additions, anchored by the Six Flags Great Adventure Amusement Park.

A plan to develop the open space around the amusement park outlines a $65,000,000 project which contains a 600 room resort hotel, a conference center and 30,000 square foot “Entertainment Village” The project hopes to capitalize on Jackson Township’s centralized location in the state and the immediate proximity of the amusement park.

There were plans submitted a few years back for a hotel near Kingda Ka, but they fell through when the economy collapsed. The resort will not be owned by the park, but according to the artist renditions will use the property between Route 537 and Great Adventure's parking lot, which is quite a bit of space.

The Radisson in Freehold is 11 miles away, and the Holiday Inn and Best Western are around 15 miles away by shortest route all the way out in East Windsor.

I also agree that a hotel is pretty necessary in that area, since it's technically the center of the Eastern Megalopolis.

going to that park in 2 weeks, and when we were looking for a hotel to stay at, the nearest one we could get was 9 miles away. This would be perfect for the park. If this comes to help out great adventure, then there is little that could make the park better!(except for a wingrider!)
