Great Adventure Park Features Combined, Cooper University Hospital Candy Stripers

Six Flags Great Adventure is combining its animal safari with its amusement and water parks into one attraction that it claims will be the world's largest theme park next year, about 10 acres larger than Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando. The popular drive thru safari is ending Sept. 30, but guests will be driven through a revamped safari area next year on park-provided open air vehicles. They'll even be able to pet or hand feed some of the animals, and can ride a zip line above them.

Cooper University Hospital honored 60 graduates of a revived “Candy Striper” volunteer program who spent their summer working and learning in the hospital. The idea for reviving the volunteer program came from Christina Smith, Cooper’s director of patient and family centered care, who started her career as a “Candy Striper.” Smith says 60 students between the ages of 14 and 18 were recruited from schools in Camden and Gloucester counties.

Police say a dad who pushed his 5 year old son to safety was fatally struck by a car in a hit and run in crossing Roosevelt Boulevard late Wednesday evening. The driver tried to get away. Police were able to stop the car just a couple blocks away at Borbeck Avenue. The child suffered minor injuries from being pushed to safety. The driver of the car is facing several charges, including homicide by vehicle and driving under the influence.
