You know you're a Six Flags park if...

[DarienLaker]

You find a giant inverted boomerang named "DeJa Vu", an impulse coaster named "V2: Vertical Velocity, and a spinning coaster called "Pandemonium" as well as at least one ride themed to either Batman or Superman!

[thrillrider]

^DeJa Vu? What six flags park has this coaster?

 

V2? I only know of 1 six flags park with a ride that goes by this name.

V2? I only know of 1 six flags park with a ride that goes by this name.

 

Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags over Georgia, and Six Flags Great America all had a giant inverted boomerang coaster under the name of "DeJa Vu".

All said Six Flags had gotten rid of them, but the one from Magic Mountain now operates at Six Flags New England under Six Flags' "favorite" coaster name "Goliath".

 

As for "V2", I refer to both "Vertical Velocity" coaster as "V2: Vertical Velocity"!

[glouthan]

You know you are at a Six Fags park if you constantly hear the ride operators saying "take 5".

[DarienLaker]

The names that Six Flags overuses that don't involve any brand/property whatsoever are/were "Viper", DeJa Vu", "Ninja", "Pandemonium", "V2: Vertical Velocity", "Boomerang", "Mind Eraser", and *drum roll* "Goliath"!

 

You defiantly know that if it's a Six Flags park, they have a ride by any of these names!

[Comeagain?]

You've got effectively every kind of coaster in a park that focuses completely on thrill rides, not trying to create experiences the likes of Holiday World or really any CF park or Disney... and people still complain about it.

[gerstlaueringvar]

If you hear all the negative comments about a park but actually it isn't a bad as you thought when you actually visit. ( Worked for all Six Flags parks I've been to except for SFMM)

[Diamondbacker27]

...you don't see original names/themes like Flight Deck, Drop Tower, Windseeker, Power Tower, Woodstock Express, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Toy Story Midway Mania, Tower of Terror, Revenge of the Mummy, Transformers: The Ride, Jurassic Park River Adventure, Manta, or Journey to Atlantis. Six Flags needs to step up their game like Cedar Fair, Disney, Universal, and Sea World.

 

Excuse Me, but "Windseeker", "Flight Deck", "Drop Tower", "Woodstock Express", and "Power Tower" aren't really original names, they're just names that Cedar Fair "overused" so that they can step up their game with Six Flags!

I'm pretty sure every name you just listed is a ride name that several Cedar Fair parks carry.

My point was that Cedar Fair is guilty of overusing ride names to a lesser extent than Six Flags in which in Six Flags' case their overused names involve "Goliath", "Pandemonium", "Viper", "Superman: Ultimate Flight", "Sky Screamer", DeJa Vu", and "Batman: The Ride"!

Actually I'm kind of one of those that doesn't fully believe SFMM can be as bad as people really say (as I haven't been there).

Maybe all I need is a visit to change my opinion

It is that bad. The reputation is true. Just saying. Now for the other SF Parks I don't have near the issue.

[transfo]

You know you're in six flags when they're too cheap too give you lids for cups...

[Someotherguyuser]

You know you're a Sux Flags park when you're shady to everyone else just like the employees.

 

You know you're a Sux Flags park when you film with your iPhone vertically...just like the Full Throttle promo video.

 

You know you're a Sux Flags park when you place ads on your clothes and all over your car like their parks do.

 

You know you're a Sux Flags park when you dress and talk like the typical GP that goes to those parks....you know, the kind that have their pants down, wear gold chains, claim they have "Swag Bra!" and scream "Hella!" and call all of their roller coasters "da big scury ride wit all da loops de loooop! YOLO!"

 

You know you're a Sux Flags park when you demand that a kiddie coaster needs to have a loop in there to make it "more scary" (I hear that all the time at the mountain).

[DarienLaker]

You know you're a Six Flags park when you demand that a kiddie coaster needs to have a loop in there to make it "more scary".

 

If a kiddie coaster had a loop then it won't be a kid friendly coaster.

 

You know a Six Flags park if you can't have one park under the "Six Flags" name that doesn't have a ride named after a DC Comics superhero

 

You know a Six Flags park if your park is called "Six Flags (insert name of city, region, state, or country)"

 

You know a Six Flags park if you have a drop tower that ends in "Drop of Doom"

 

You know a Six Flags park if your idea of "theming" is DC Comics superheroes and Looney Tunes

[VF15]

...the line is stretching outside of the main queue area, and only one train is running.

...you have a roller coaster named Batman, Superman, or Goliath.

[MagnumFreak25]

.....All the ride ops decide to text each other and leave you on the brake run for 15 minutes.

[livinandrockin]

-The coaster ops do that silly, exaggerated looking-out-over-the-horizon motion before dispatch.

Look at us! We are doing our job and making sure no one is in harm's way!

[ejot]

You know you're a Six Flags park if....

 

the composting mulch next to your queue slaloms initially causes patrons to suspect other nearby patrons haven't showered in.... years.

[Atter]

...half a train is full of platinum flashpass users who are going twice.

[DarienLaker]

Your park caters to teenagers and anyone between the ages of 18-25 who are avid thrill seekers and offer a limited amount of family and kiddie rides.

[The49er]

..the park has Six Flags in the name or is owned by Six Flags. Just to avoid generalizations

 

..you're just trying to buy tickets and a rather indifferent teenage/twentysomething lady keeps trying to upsell you. "Well, if you get the Super Mega Gold Pass, you get a 0.0000251% discount on tuition at select colleges." Ma'am, this is exactly why I wasn't planning on getting a season pass

[tarheel1231]

... You see Bugs Bunny and roller coasters.

[Canobie Coaster]

all of the rides are open...said no one ever.

[DarienLaker]

Once your Six Flags was destroyed by a hurricane or some other form of a natural disaster, you don't make repairs to the park and never reopen it!

[Midgetman82]

... If you're telling people to "Have a Six Flags day!" I'd prefer a fantabulous year, but, whatever.

... If you'd prefer to install a hand-me-down from a sister-park every two to five years and advertise it as a brand new attraction, while saving original designs for water slides and flat-rides.
