Ahh, my home park… The love-hate relationship is strong with this one. Would check in all the time in the mid to late 2000s as a lil kid. It was booming back then. The park peaked around 2011 imo. Haven’t been back since 2016 I think. So much potential at SFA. RMC, B&M Hyper and a Giga would do wonders for the park. There’s a lot of unused land in Gotham City, plus Mind Eraser and Renegade Rapids can get tossed for more space as well. Hopefully they’re cooking up something good for the near future b/c everyone I know has moved on to Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens and Hershey Park lmao

Always a good day when Airtime Thrills posts a video!

Funny story, I've never heard of Six Flags America until the day I went there. I was in Baltimore for a convention in 2019and I had a friend I was hanging out with who happened to work at Magic Mountain. He invited us down to this park, which I thought didn't exist (this was also around the time I was an enthusiast on hiatus). We were there for maybe 3 hours max and rode Mind Eraser, Roar, Firebird, and Superman. Joker's Jinx was closing when we got to it and Batwing was closed. Wasn't the best park outing I had, but was still happy I went and had a good time with friends I don't see very often.

I would bet that if/when Six Flags starts to sell off some parks in the USA that SFA is probably near the top of the list of parks to go. It's so strange how Six Flags has these parks like my home park Great Escape that they seemingly just ignore for decades at a time. Really sucks, I remember in the 2000s being so jealous of Six Flags America because they got the flagging treatment. Fast forward 20 years and Great Escape got flagged but they left the treatment in the 2000s. Great video, the end had me cracking up!

From my visit in 2013, my favorite ride there is The Wild One, followed by Batwing, Joker's Jinx, and Superman: Ride of Steel. Every other roller coaster there was closed during my visit.

Six Flags America needs the following rides: 1. A brand new B&M Invert with a custom layout 2. A ground up RMC 3. A Mack Multi launch coaster 4. A Gravity Group family woodie 5. A B&M Dive Coaster

It’s always been a small, not well kept park, but it can be a good time if you’re there with kids or just there to get the credits. Also, I’d personally switch Batwing and Firebird.

Didn’t really connect the dots that they were probably talking about ultra twister til a few years ago This park also had one of my favorite water rides ever before it got replaced by apocalypse.

That actually would have kind of been a perfect theme for Ultra Twister if it was in a good enough condition to re-assemble as the spiraling twisting green rings of track fits with how Poison Ivy can control plants and created twisted thorny vines which she uses as defense.

Its been said a thousand times, but just RMC roar already! It’s already a park of clones, clone joker from six flags discovery kingdom, and bam, much better line up. Also, tear down mind eraser and the rapids ride and build a new gen vekoma suspended thrill coaster! Then the park will thrive. (Also add vest restraints and new wheels to firebird)

Oh boy, SFA. Welcome to the sad parade! Ugh, I was so excited about the demise of Mind Eraser and had planned to go dance on its grave. If they actually improve it, then fine, but I’d rather they just have done with it and put in something else. For Joker’s Jinx, the launch is a blast but it loses a lot of stream during the ride.

I wish there was more Inverted Boomerangs. I’ve been on Invertigo and it’s my favorite Vekoma. Haven’t been on any of the new generation Vekomas but still it’s an excellent ride

When I went to this park firebird had just opened up after the flourless trains and it was the smoothest ride in the park and the best. I went back the next year and it was really shaky. Did not age well.

All of those roller coasters from then to now have been at the park! Some of them are really awesome to ride.

Believe it or not, when I was there a couple of years ago I actually remember having a better ride on Roar than on The Wild One but I also was prepared for Roar to be rough and I may have just ended up with a bad ride on the other coaster. Even more disappointing was the fact that Batwing was closed and that’s the only coaster that’s making me want to go back. What is ironic is that this park is very close to where the Washington Commanders play home games, and considering that Dan Snyder used to own them while he was responsible for business decisions made by Six Flags it makes sense that this park is ranked where it is by most enthusiasts.

I will never understand why Six Flags bought this park in such a populated area with so many people around, and decided to forget about it other than an occasional hand-me-down from Great America. Edit: And I agree: Firebird STINKS!

Jokers Jinx is definitely number 2. It’s far better and smoother than Batwing and Wild One.

Was thinking about how a new owner might fix this park, and it actually doesn't seem too complicated. RMC Roar and give Mind Eraser the Great Nor'easter treatment. Then, while RMC and Vekoma are in the park, have RMC do one of their smaller Raptors (Rrailblazer/Golden Lasso), and Vekoma install one of their new gen of flying coasters to replace the approaching expiration Batwing. You'd have transformed two bad coasters into at least good coasters, would have the only smaller Raptor on the east coast, and would have a destination coaster in the only next gen vekoma flying coaster, and would be located right next to a major tourist destination in DC.

You know it's bad when your old-school vekoma flying coaster is the 2nd best coaster in your park

I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience a ultra twister marathon due to family in Japan

If you were to add new coasters and improve this park, what models would you choose and what else would you do

the day i went it was overcast because it had stormed early that morning which made the park extremely empty. roar seriously needs a re-track or rmc it. i didn't mind mind eraser. rode in the front, and the only bad part was the inversion right beside the station. also congrats to batwing for being my 1st coaster that made me almost gray out. that closing helix is no joke. need to somehow find a way back so i can ride superman.

Six Flags America is my home park and I’ve been going since the Wild World years. Our top-4 coasters are very fun even if they don’t rank very high on many lists. SFA will never be a top tier Six Flags park but new cars on Mind Eraser and RMCing Roar could put it toward the front of the middle tier. Disagree on ranking Roar ahead Firebird. Roar has to be the worst adult roller coast in the Six Flags chain, it manages to be both incredibly rough and remarkably boring. Firebird isn’t great but I think it’s enjoyable until the intense rattling near very end. PS: Cal Ripken was the commercial spokesman for the park when it was Adventure World and the ads were creepy in a goofy way with a family in which everyone had Cal’s face and the Mind Eraser traveling through Cal’s head, IIRC.

I agree with you about Roar, when riding towards the back. It was so shaky with nothing to redeem it. My front row ride in 2019 was not rough, but it was still totally forceless. My 2021 rides on Batwing were very smooth. I would put Firebird at the bottom, as it was that terrible for me, and I can manage those SLC restraints easier. I've had a great time at the park, as lines haven't been an issue, and they have a few great rides.

I honesty had no idea that so much stuff happened in this parks history...

i hope they rmc roar, and then replace mind eraser with an intense b&m invert, then this park would be pretty good

I would probably not say this about other b&m standup conversions to floorless, but I rode Apocalypse in 2014 and Firebird in 2021, and I actually prefered Apocalypse as it was and don't feel like it had to be converted. I don't know what they did but it slowed down dreadfully and made so many of the inversions super awkward

you called python a swartzkopf shuttle loop lmao

My wife and I moved from SoCal to dc for 2 years for her work and leaving magic mountain to this park as my home park was a crush to my coaster soul. However I really grew to appreciate this park for what it is. It’s a misfit of rides and feels that way but oddly it’s something To like about it like the bad news bears. It would have been amazing if ultra twister got a new life here but the park is at it’s peak in summer. Water park and coasters in one admission is a pretty good deal and having an og intamin chute de chute I find charming. Not a great park by any stretch but for what it is , I grew to enjoy this parking during my time in the area and think fondly of it. ( back in SoCal now with mm has my home park )

I don’t understand the lack of investment in this place. It’s within one of the largest, most affluent metros in the country. It seems like, with some new rides and a little TLC, this place could easily pull 2.5 million visitors a year.

Sounds like someone who's into movies recommending the Human Centipede

Ah yes the park that created one of the iconic intro images. Dont tell your satnav Chris! Although honestly I'll probably skip this park if I do a coaster trip next year. I think I might be better off in the museums of D.C for that day.

Firebird seems to be very temperamental. Sometimes it’s terrible, sometimes it’s as smooth as Griffon. The back is usually smoothest actually

former employee of six flags america, mind eraser according to higher ups is being removed due to not having the budget for parts.

I rode Mind Eraser last year and I did not think it was bad at all. I have a method when I ride Vekoma SLCs with the original trains. I press my right ear tightly against the restraint and keep it there during the ride. When I do that the ride experience is not bad.

Bro, you should have put the Harley Quinn swing thing on this list. Even though it isn’t technically a roller coaster that thing is huge.. especially for a swinging carnival ride
