Six Flags America - Washington DC - Maryland - Theme Park - Upper Marlboro

This Six Flags has good a lot of negative attention over the year and this video explores if it is safe, worth going, and right for you and/or your family. I break the park down and do a full, complete, and comprehensive review to help your decision-making process easy and informed. I review the rides, staff, wait time, crowd level, safety, food, cleanliness, and the full park experience.

    Go-karts are almost always upcharge attractions at amusement parks. Same goes for skycoaster and slingshot rides that have low capacity. If it's an attraction you can ride at an arcade with mini-golf, then it's not necessary to do at a theme park. You don't have to like that it costs extra, but it's an industry norm and not on Six Flags America specifically. Seems that's common sense and should go without saying.

    Great video. Loved every second of it. Most people write this place off as one of the worst theme parks, but it can be a great experience if you know what to expect. Hope to see more as they open the new land this summer. ❤

    My concern now is the safety of the rides. When I see how run down the place is it makes me nervous about going on any of the rides. I did love this park when I was a kid (in the Adventure World days!) so it would be cool to go back but just nervous that I’d not want to get on any rides 😮

    I can understand your concerns. There are a lot of teenagers who are the operators of these rides. It was something that I noticed, but it didn’t really give me a lot of concern for my safety. They did a fairly decent job making sure we were buckled and safe.

    What's funny is that King's Dominion is much older but better maintained.

    I actually watched the video and I don’t see a problem with the upkeep or the maintenance of the rides.

    Agreed. I’m a big fan of Kings Dominion and have always been impressed with how clean, organize, and presentable the park is.

    Growing up, my friends and I enjoyed this park even back to the Wild Word days (before it became Adventure World and then Six Flags America), but the majority of our childhood was spent here under all three brands. I also recall it being well maintained when it was Adventure World and even the first few years of it being Six Flags, at least through when the Batman rollercoaster first launched. It definitely looked much nicer the last time I was there as a child many years ago.

    Maybe cause Universal Studios have the budget to make ppl feel like they're in a real Gotham City...Six Flags America did what they could

    Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate what you’re trying to do. My thought is, if you can’t do a great job of doing it then don’t even do it at all. They would’ve been just perfectly fine, leaving it alone and not trying to create a world Immersion encounter.

    @@letsgoseeit457you even said this during the video as well with universal studio spending hundreds of millions on advertising and actually making you feel like you’re in a different realm. Plan to see this place soon and I know I’ll enjoy it! Just wish security was armed.

    Thanks for this! I'm curious to know if there is space to put a small purse at each of the rollercoasters (that's what I'm familiar with at the Mall of America park), or if I need to put all my belongings in a locker all day?

    There are cubbies where you can put your belongings in before going on a roller coaster. However, they don’t guarantee the security of your belongings during the ride.

    No, absolutely not! If you’re wealthy and money means nothing to you - go ahead. However, if you thinking about value for a dollar then now.

    Security ain’t got guns. I would feel .1% safer with even more security than this video presented. Armed security and now I’d feel a bit safer if I can’t arm myself.

    It is in Bowie, MD. I live in MD and never go to VA. It would be a lie to to lump VA into it as if it were close to Bowie.

    Believe it or not, I thought about saying DMV. However, a lot of people who watch my channel aren’t familiar with that terminology and in my experience for KZread they don’t want to take the time to hear the explanation. But for locals that’s a great suggestion.
