Answer: The Haunted Castle

According to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, the fire was sparked when a guest used a cigarette lighter to light up a hall and ignited a wall covered in protective foam rubber. There were a number of huge factors that compounded the fire, such as a plywood emergency door, a lack of a sprinkler system, and some other emergency doors behind an iron fence that used to hold an actor.

3. What is the name of the section that The Golden Kingdom and Plaza del Carnaval both took land from?

Answer: Frontier Adventures

Plaza del Carnaval was initially a Mexican-themed section named Hernando's Hideaway that was integrated into Frontier Adventures. The land that The Golden Kingdom takes up what used to be a part of Frontier Adventures and all of Bugs Bunny Land.

4. Which of the following signed a deal in 2006, to be the sole seller of pizza at the park as well as all other Six Flags parks?

Answer: Papa John's

This move was to help eliminate the company's enormous debt. In turn, Six Flags got an annual sponsorship.

6. Kingda Ka took the record for the world's fastest and world's tallest roller coaster from what Cedar Point coaster?

Answer: Top Thrill Dragster

Both rides have very similar structure. The only difference is that after the main tower, Kingda Ka has a 129-foot hill on the way back, whereas there is none on Top Thrill Dragster.

7. Since 1982, there has been a bobsled ride at Six Flags Great Adventure.

Answer: False

It was called Sarajevo Bobsled, and it debuted in 1984 not 1982 as stated in the question, and it was sent to Six Flags Great America. Great American Scream Machine is now in its place.

8. How many years was Stuntman's Freefall open?

Answer: 23

It opened in 1983, the year Bally Manufacturing started to run Six Flags, as Freefall. It was removed at the end of the 2006 season, a year when it didn't operate regularly.

Answer: Wok 'n Roll

Panda Express is a Chinese food franchise owned by YUM! Foods, a subsidiary of Pepsi. Even though it is located in the Lakefront, it is very close to the Fantasy Forest station of the Sky Ride.

12. El Toro has a hydraulic U-bar restraint system.

Answer: Looney Tunes Seaport

Originally, the section was named Fun Fair. When the park was renamed Great Adventure, the section took the park's original name, the Enchanted Forest.
