| 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.Read More |

| Madonna took the stage nearly three hours late in Philadelphia Tuesday evening. Some concert goers were so frustrated that they left the Wells Fargo Center before the show even began. The concert was scheduled to start at 8 p.m., but Madonna did not take the stage until about 10:30 p.m. Making matters worse for fans was the fact that there was no opening act, simply a DJ spinning some tunes. When Madonna finally did take the stage, she apparently apologized to the crowd. However, in typical... Read More |

| SEPTA does not plan to run extra trains after the Parkway concerts this weekend. They will add a few extra cars to the the Regional Rail trains, but don't necessarily rely on them to get home. They'll be running on their reduced weekend schedule and that means reduced capacity and some line's last trains departing around 11 pm. The City has been telling people to take public transport, but that won't help people trying to go home to the suburbs on the rails unless they leave the concerts early.... Read More |
