Kissing couples earn Six Flags a new Guinness World Record

Six Flags Great Adventure helped make "kiss-tory" on Saturday.

The Jackson theme park was one of seven Six Flags locations that asked couples to pucker up under the mistletoe — 839 did and they set a Guinness World Record. The attempt at the Most Couples Kissing Under the Mistletoe record was held during Holiday in the Park, an annual winter celebration. The participants locked lips for at least 10 seconds, breaking the record previously set by Six Flags Over Georgia last year.

At the Jackson location, 350 guests — 175 couples — puckered up in front of the Big Wheel.

“Holiday in the Park is a beloved family tradition and what better way to ring in the holidays than kisses under the mistletoe,” said Tom Iven, Six Flags vice president of U.S. park operations, in a statement. “Six Flags is home to a long list of record-breaking roller coasters and now we have a brand new record to kiss and tell about.”

In addition to Six Flags Great Adventure, Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Six Flags St Louis participated in the record-setting event.
