So, I wanted to implement jQuery/Thickbox in an environment that already were using Prototype/Scriptaculous. The problem you see here is that both jQuery and Prototype use the same $ syntax. Lucky me there's a solution to this problem.
jQuery.noConflict();
This will let you use all jQuery functionality but with jQuery() instead of $(). So, to be able to use thickbox with this, you need to download the uncompressed thickbox code, add the noConflict statement at the beginning, and then exchange all $() with jQuery(). Like this:
// enable noConflict-mode
jQuery.noConflict();
// instead of this
$(document).ready(function(){ });
// you now do this instead
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ });
Beware of regex and other constructs that also use $. Don't do replace-all in your thickbox.js, because it just won't work. Thickbox is a small framework and it will take you just a minute to manually go through it and replace all jQuery calls.

Thanks, very helpful.

Looks like you can do a replace-all if you search for $( and replace it with jQuery(

You're right. Seems like that would work, and save some time.
Thanks for the tip.

Dude, a year too late, but I still hope my post will knock some sense in your head.
Don't bother replacing $ with jQuery, just wrap the whole code in a with block:
with({"$": jQuery}) {
...
}
Simple as that.
