coastersandhockey Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Sorry for double post but I did see that Superman wound up opening this weekend. However, Adventure Park USA was able to open their coasters for a couple hours on Sunday and we made the trip there instead since we've never been there. I grew up riding Wildcat at Cedar Point and although this isn't the exact same ride, it was nice to get back on basically the same coaster again. Wild West Coaster is an interesting little ride too! We also chatted with who I believe was the owner for a little bit. You can tell the pride he has in his little park. I highly recommend a quick stop on your way to or from Six Flags America if you come from Northwest of DC. The park is located right off I70.

MisterBrow Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Where is that guy that was sure that retheming Apocalypse to FORTNIGHT would stand the test of time? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember that but it sure done sound amusing! And long time no see. And as for your signature, at this point I don't see Roar getting RMC'd or Mind Eraser getting new trains. More likely Roar gets Titan Tracked and Mind Eraser ... exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 NEW FOR 2023 RipQurl Blaster water coaster debuts at Hurricane Harbor Maryland. Experience the regions tallest ride of its kind this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendLover Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I'm really excited for this! Yes, it looks to be a smaller water coaster and it does look to have a weaker layout, but even a weaker water coaster is still better than 80% of waterslides. With the Six Flags additions being made for this year, I think it is important to remember that Six Flags originally said they weren't adding anything at all for this year so... If anybody watched the full livestream, they also made sure to highlight the attention being given to the park's landscaping, overall appearance, and atmosphere. They are bringing in a new landscaping company to improve the park landscaping, they are going to be repainting buildings and rides throughout the park, they are adding new shading structures and seating areas, they have created new shows and they are improving current park events as well as adding some other new festivals. I know that this park has a long way to go to be a GREAT park, but any improvement is good to see at this park. I went back in June on a layover in DC, and I enjoyed the park the day that I was there. The new park president has been at the park for nearly 30 years, and his Facebook page seems to indicate that he is dedicated to improvements around the park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendLover Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Wow! I am so happy to see so many projects getting done at Six Flags parks! I love seeing the kids coasters and interactive attractions, but I love these infrastructure improvements. Ramar posted these pics of one of the new seating areas, and this looks great! I bet this will get a lot of use. He’s also shown that Joker’s Jinx’s sign and trains are in the works of being repainted as well as thematic elements around the kid’s area.

Jason Maier Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 The map of Six Flags America as of today: Yeah, they chopped off the whole Coyote Creek area so no Mind Eraser, Rodeo or Rapids Ride; and no Whistlestop Park kids area. I'm assuming those will open up in the summer when staffing is better, etc. Then again, if Mind Eraser goes away .... let's celebrate! edit: Also looked on their site and saw about Superman "Soaring again later this spring" And I think they're making Hurricane Harbor a separate gate.

MisterBrow Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Crank up RCT! Select WhistleStop rides are moving to the Looney Tunes area. That’s a good idea. Maybe some interplay with the antique cars? This funnels the youngest from the main entrance to the right. _______________________________________________ Next, relocate the Bumper Cars and Rodeo to the former Whistlestop (Gotham Main Street?) The area is already level, turn the bumper cars up to Knoebels’ speed and those two fit nicely as intermediate rides. Batman and Robin Mobiles and BatCows? Then, good-bye Mind Eraser, the rapids are now the end of Coyote Creek. Move Penguin to where it connects CC to the waterpark at the former Rodeo location. This funnels the waterpark crowd from the main entrance and left. A waterpark only entrance would send swimmers to the second parking lot. Families with little ones and guests doing the whole park would park in the first lot. Extend the 3rd parking lot to a dry park only entrance between ROAR and Superman at Gotham Main Street. Easier access to night time events at the arena walking between four coasters. Goodbye Batwing. Hello the long awaited hybridization of ROAR. Renamed to connect FireBird to the Chesapeake area. The arena. No reason this area is not used daily: Concerts, movies, marching bands, Cheerleading, pro wrestling, tournaments, festivals, fan fests… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not complain about either, I feel like for SFA they would do whichever is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zand Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 SFA is so premium they are now offering ZERO TRAIN OPS! Figured a couple Superman laps would be a good way to get out of DC traffic for an hour or two. Not much to report on as I only stopped in for 2 hours and honestly that's enough for this place. 1 train ops on everything and they're not exactly quick about it. Thankfully Superman had almost no one at it so got two back row rides. The air on that 3rd hill blows my mind every time and then the landing nearly blows my back out...sure comes down hard from that airtime. Attempted to ride Wonder Woman and was seated and checked before they dumped the ride for technical difficulties and the ride went down as long as I was in the park. Joker was deserted so hit that real quick. Enjoyed this a lot more than Flight of Fear...seemed smoother but more intense at the same time. It's more fun being able to see these twisted layouts as you go through them. Hit Voodoo Drop for a quick walk on. Fun enough although I spoiled myself earlier this week by marathoning Atmosfear at Moreys which is probably the best drop tower I've ever been on. Last ride was Wild One which had about a 20 minute station wait due to one train ops (and that one train cycling about once every 6 minutes). I loved this in 2020 but for some reason today it jackhammered a lot and I got stapled which made it even worse. Still lots of airtime for sure, but definitely disappointing after I gloated over this a few years ago. Missed out on the Rajun Cajun credit again, it has been closed the last 2 times I've been. Also missed out on the Two Face credit the first time I ever went to this park because it was closed that day. This spot is cursed I think. Batwing was also closed while I was there. Skipped the lame GCI and the world's worst B&M so at that point I headed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 From the Six Flags America FB page: Six Flags America in celebration of its 25th Anniversary year, will get a newly-themed SteamTown – where the past meets the future. This redeveloped steampunk realm coming in 2024 will include: A whole new storyline The all-new SteamWhirler family thrill ride Three re-imagined attractions Return of the award-winning stunt show New food and retail offers Plus, more surprises to be announced Okay I was not expecting this. Perhaps Mind Eraser is getting re-tracked. And it was strange not having a stunt show this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthewanderer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I surprised simply that SFA is finally getting a brand new flat ride and finally doing something about Mind Eraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Looney characters were meeting at the time (they were preparing for Fright Fest), and Mind Eraser was SBNO. It's finally reopening. Dear God. I have to get that freaking credit this year. At least there'll be no line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'm wondering if the Steampunk Area will be ready for Opening Day weekend. And it'll be interesting to ride the new trains on Superman: Ride of Steel and whatever Mind Eraser will be renamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
