Six Flags Great Adventure Park in New Jersey opted to stay closed through the day Friday after a power surge triggered an outage at the theme park, a spokesperson said.

The theme park's day was ended before it even started -- and people didn't know that until they got there Hurricane Harbor and Wild Safari are open as usual.

The theme park opening was initially delayed for hours after Friday's power loss, which happened before the park's scheduled opening. Chopper 4 was over the scene before noon and showed scores of people standing outside the gates. By mid-afternoon Six Flags said the theme park would stay closed. It is expected to reopen at 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

"Crews have been working diligently to restore power, but we just made the decision to keep the park closed for today due to the length of the repair," the Six Flags spokesperson said. "Guests with tickets for July 22 may use their tickets through Labor Day. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you back to the theme park."
