Is Six Flags America Really THAT Bad?

I spent a day at Six Flags America on its opening weekend, and based on my first visit back in 2008, I didn't have high expectations. Has this park improved at all in the last 11 years? Or is it still at the bottom of the barrel of Six Flags parks?

So this video's goal was to be funny, obviously I have some issues with this park but watching it back I can see where it could be seen as snarky or entitled and I don't want people to see it that way. Its still a fun time but this park does need some help from the top down.

it was entertaining. And the truth is, if you had that experience with so many rides on opening day, Im sure others have had the same thing. Hopefully, someone from Six Flags sees the video and it motivates them to really start making some changes for the better. Ive only been to that park once and I was not impressed neither.

Actually, Joker’s Jinx was operating as intended: from a distance, you see people on it only to find that it’s broken when you arrive at the front of the line to ride it and as soon as you walk away, you see people on it again, only to return to find it closed. Honestly, it’s a great feat of engineering 🤣

This is my home park so I’ve been countless times over the last 20 years or so. It’s way too easy to outgrow this park. Beyond how horribly managed it is, the thrill level is really low overall, so as soon as you conquer Superman, there’s not much more to get excited about. Discovering other amusement parks thankfully lit the enthusiast fire in me.

As a Canadian I have to say that it looks like an incredible park compared to what we have here. I'm in a major Canadian city and our one park literally just has one generic corkscrew rollercoaster - probably from the 80s. The next closest roller coaster is a 3 hour drive away (one way).

I've lived in MD all my life, oml. I never knew SFA had a bad national reputation. By no means am I implying its reputation is better locally. Literally everyone in the DMV has worked there and hated it, and if you haven't you've been there and just didn't have a good time. No one likes it but we always end up going occasionally, on especially dull summer days.

I'm from MD and I was never a fan of Six Flags America. It's bad enough that Six Flags has neglected the park so terribly in recent years, but my experiences there always seem to be subpar. I went there on a senior trip about 3 years ago and that was my first time back in well over a decade. Needless to say, it wasn't great. I have visited Hersheypark, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg far more within that timeframe, and I honestly would consider those to be my "home parks" more than SFA. I simply don't have any incentive to visit when there are far better parks in the region, even if they are a good 2-3 hours away.

For this Six Flags park being my first-ever as a Canadian when I visited the area back in Summer 2019, this park wasn't really all that bad. I got to ride on the Firebird for one (as well as the rest of the major coasters there), and I personally liked the Hurricane Harbor as well. The Wild One was unfortunately closed when I was there, though I would still want to come back to it again in the distant future.

I've really never had an issue at any of the Cedar Fair Parks I've had a few issues at some of the six flags parks.. which is depends which Park you go to.. because even if cedar Fair won't give one of their parks that they don't give new rides every 3 or 4 years like they do with some other parks.. they will at least give them small improvements the park will always look nice everything will run 99% of the time.. but the parks that six flags doesn't really care about will have rides breaking down constantly throughout the day.. and it's just very evident that six flags favorite Parks have top priority over other parks.. like six flags America the most six flags will ever put into this park would be the amount they purchased it for.. which is a shame because if they built up tht park up it would be really awesome..

Sorry there were so many issues, I’d recommend visiting it later in the year when they’ve figured out how parks are supposed to work. Most of the rides are usually running, crowds in the dry park are still low, and they run multiple trains on the coasters more often than you think, with faster ops than you think. I’ve even caught a couple times Superman dispatched before the other train hit the brakes. Also for the best rides: Roar - front Wild One - 2nd to back (this was hauling last time I rode) Superman - Very front Firebird: Back row, inner seats for a bit more smoothness. Also ride the scrambler, they usually run it surprisingly fast.
@StamfordBridge
@StamfordBridge 5 жыл бұрын
Superman is definitely the best in the front row, especially for the final drop (which is killed by hard brakes if you’re in the back). I was thinking of this because I noticed the footage of the four rides on this coaster was all toward the back of the train.

You were not being snarky but telling the Truth. It's why I created my web pages where I talk about Old Skool rides and rank the parks in order from Marquee to Step Children. Mind Eraser and Batwing need to go, along with the water rides, replace with something better. This park has no excitement. They could move S:ROS to another park, close SFA, and no one would care. Why they keep it open is beyond me. The last known attendance was 1.18 million. Kentucky Kingdom had 1.3 million and it was abandoned by SF. And yes, this park and SFStl did not get an RMC.

Funny, good video. I visited SFA for the first time this summer, for one day. I’ve been to nearly all the SF parks, and - judging from my one day - I’d say the park is certainly lower tier in the chain, but not terrible and definitely not the worst. It has one memorable, reridable steel coaster (S:ROS), and one historic woodie that many people love. Those highlights alone already place it above Darien Lake for me. The park’s worst sin was just feeling very SF generic. Mind Eraser was nowhere near being the worst SLC I’ve been on (as I’d heard many claim in the past), but Firebird gave me some really violent boxes of the ears. The most painful aspect for me was the fact that The Wild One was closed all day, and that coaster was far and away the number one reason I went to the park. P.S. How did you do the GPS voice? Is there some app?

Wild One was a very solid woodie, exponentially better than Roar. As for the GPS, i just googled text to speech on my phone and then put it up to my microphone and inserted the audio into the skit i shot on the editor. Just had to time out the responses in my head while filming the skit

SFA is my home park. In the early years (1999-2003) I would get super excited during the Summer because I knew our mother would buy Season Passes and we'd go at least once a week. I haven't been to Six Flags in 14 yrs. It's sad to see that it looks far worse than it did when it first started getting neglected (around 2005-07). It's not that the park itself is a lost cause. It's that the corporate has neglected this specific location for over a decade now. And it has deteriorated into a ghost town as a result.

I have a season pass... About 2 or 3 years ago I was in DC with a good friend of mine. I wanted to be spontaneous and said "let's go to Six Flags because I've never been and it won't even cost me anything. It's only 10 minutes from this hotel and we can stop by on our way home" Well, we arrived at Six Flags America and parked in the parking lot. People were walking in but there was no energy, sense of excitement, joy and happiness. So, I tried to see the coaster skyline but there was none. I left and headed on back to Delaware.

I presume the reason Firebird was only half orange was because it was in the middle of being rebranded. When I worked there in 2016 it was called “Apocalypse” and I actually was a ride attendant for it. When I came back this year (2019) for Fright Fest, it was Firebird. If you really wanna suffer through crowds that bad, come during the summer.

As somebody who lived in Springfield, VA from 2009-2014, Six Flags was our closest park. We had gone a few times to Busch Garden Williamsburg but never to Kings Dominion. My favorite ride was easily Joker’s Jinx, but that was half because I only ever rode on Superman once and the Batwing two or three times. Mind Eraser was a one ride deal cause it hurt me the only time I rode it. The other attractions were cool but nothing to really write home about. It was nowhere near that dead when I was there.
