Advertisement says… From the furthest reaches of the galaxy, Coca‑Cola Starlight is arriving. The flavors of unknown stars twirl together with the great taste of Coca‑Cola for an experience unlike any other. Where will it transport you? Unexpectedly indulgent, Starlight’s red hue sparkles with a cooling sensation that tastes like magic. Prepare to drink the stars. What the internet says… …the same ingredient that gives raspberries their flavor. This red-tinted drink "inspired by space" describes Coca-Cola Starlight as having "notes reminiscent of stargazing around a campfire" I enjoyed it… It was like Cherry Coke light for me. It did not taste heavy on the sugar. Asking around, everyone tastes a little something different.

For more information on Six Flags Great Adventure, Wild Safari and Hurricane Harbor, visit www.sixflags.com/greatadventure  Meet Sawyer…our rare male Rhino! The white rhinoceros or square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) is the largest extant species of rhinoceros. It has a wide mouth used for grazing and is the most social of all rhino species. The white rhinoceros of today was said to be likely descended from Ceratotherium praecox which lived around 7 million years ago. It has been suggested that the modern white rhino has a longer skull than Ceratotherium praecox to facilitate consumption of shorter grasses which resulted from the long-term trend to drier conditions in Africa. White rhinoceroses are found in grassland and savannah habitat. Herbivore grazers that eat grass, preferring the shortest grains, the white rhinoceros is one of the largest pure grazers. It drinks twice a day if water is available, but if conditions are dry it can live four or five days without water. It spends about half of the day eating, one third resting, and the rest of the day doing various other things. White rhinoceroses, like all species of rhinoceros, love wallowing in mud holes to cool down. Sawyer is on the right!  2022 Save an Icon Pin! A sneak preview of our fundraising, collector pin.
