If Magic Mountain has everything running it’s the best park because it feels like there’s to much to do at times. I was fortunate to get it with 19 out of the 20 coasters running for 5 days with multiple train ops. Only bad thing it was very busy and I had to buy flash pass.

New England is my nearest Six Flags! It was called Riverside Park in my mom’s day, and Superman was known as Bizarro for a number of years, being purple instead of red. The oldest coaster in the park is Thunderbolt, which I personally love, also being the second oldest coaster at any Six Flags. The first oldest coaster being The Wild One, which is actually from - get this - Paragon Park in Massachusetts! The 2 oldest SF coasters are from silly old Mass. It’s not much of a SF location in comparison, but when it and Canobie Lake are your only 2 main options, it’s pretty darn memorable and almost homey.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Six Flags New England has an amazing top 2.

[@ericscott9029]

Canobie Lake is a classic, really tiny and busy park but it's a nostalgic part of my childhood and teenage years. Been there dozens of times and it's only 20-25 mins away, Six Flags New England is a hike but if you want a far larger park with more intense rides it's worth it.

[@jimmy3people0]

Six Flags Over Texas is my home park, so we still go there all the time, but you are so right about Fiesta!

I also loved the theming on several other rides, and I thought the Gully Washer was fantastic with beautiful scenery!

Fiesta is the cream of the crop from the chain. Their theming is above the other parks.

[@money200476]

ouch a #5 for Six flags Great Am! personally i think its the best or top 3, but 5 makes me scratch my head lol! i know all have our own opinions!

[@CanobieCoaster]

It almost got the 4 spot, but it couldn't beat the top 3.

[@Galarticuno]

It hurts cause I love Great Am, but it’s kind of fair. Somethings were greatly overlooked, both positively and negatively. Our line up of coasters and water rides as well as our operations are glossed over kind of quickly, despite them being pretty outstanding. We actually got one of, if not the highest ranking amongst Six Flags park designated by a ranking given to us via corporate. The flat rides are kind of not that great, fair, but that’s the least of the problems. Our kids areas need some refurbishment, Eagle needs to eventually be retracked as management rarely lets it dual due to the failing integrity and age of the ride, and a lot of areas in the park sit vacant. Buccaneer Battle is still up despite its operation ceasing years ago, the area where Sky Trail used to sit is still vacant other than for Fright Fest display usage, and we recently took out Hangover, due to reasonable issues, but its lot now sits relatively empty. Sky Striker will be the first new ride we have gotten since Maxx Force in 2019 and we had to take out two other rides to facilitate it. To end on a more positive note, our areas are reasonably themed, our ride lineup is sparse, our water rides actually get you wet, and our operations are amazing. We also deserve brownie points for having a roller coaster with a theme song, having once owned the first ever BnM and first BnM invert/Batman clone, helping BnM become as well known as it is today, being the park that granted usage of Looney Tunes characters to the rest of the chain, and finally, Terror Twister II.

[@ColeYote]

Feel like La Ronde could be a big winner from the Cedar Fair merger. It'll probably mean better ops, and a neglected park in a big market without any nearby competitors sounds ripe for investment.

Went to Six Flags New England when I was 11 with my family and friend and again when I was 16 with my dad and my friends, I really liked the park and the rollercoaster right on the Connecticut River gave an absolutely beautiful view just before the drop.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Canobie Coaster said: Number 13: Six Flags Darien Lake in upstate New York. This is a park that Six Flags previously sold off, but they recently reacquired it. This park has a ton of promise. It's a full-fledged resort with plenty of land and a nice ride lineup. Some areas just need freshening up and they really need to improve their operations. Almost every coaster here has just one train, which makes lines move at a snail's pace. That even included their headlining coaster in Ride of Steel. This is the original Intamin hyper coaster. It uniquely passes over a lake and has some strong ejector airtime moments. The with the recent trackwork, Predator is running smoothly and it has several spots where it offers airtime and laterals simultaneously. While the coaster lineup is not as deep as others on the list, the supporting coasters are solid overall. Tantrum, Viper, Boomerang, and Motocoaster are all enjoyable rides. You should also talk about Mind Eraser, the park's Vekoma SLC. But why did you not say that?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hate that ride.

[@LOLKATZ1]

I think personally i have been spoiled for what a theme park should be as I grew up with Great Adventure 40 mins from my house and dorney an hour and a half out hahaha. Anyways great video and i wasn’t surprised the great adventure was so high up on the list.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Great Adventure really is a fantastic park.

[@SportsKing2000]

As having lived in Austin Texas and Chicago, this list makes me happy. Fiesta Texas definitely deserves the number 1 spot, but SF Mexico in front of SF Great America? I've been to Mexico and I think it's a top 5 park, but Great America is far more superior.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I loved Mexico's atmosphere and fast ops (plus their top two).

[@travisvanalst4698]

[@dacasman]

I grew up going to Cedar Point and King's Island pretty much every summer and didn't go to any Six Flags parks at all until just recently. Which was Great America. I was really taken aback by how shabby the park was in comparison to Cedar Fair's parks. It just has this kind of grungy vibe to it. Even the smell was kind of off putting. Almost as if the park was closed for years and had just recently opened again and they weren't quite finished cleaning it up and landscaping.

[@CanobieCoaster]

And that is one of the prettier Six Flags parks to be honest.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I've always found La Ronde a bit underrated as even though it has poor roller coasters overall, I was impressed by the operations when I went (especially on Goliath) and the setting and appearance are simply gorgeous.

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

I would reverse everything you said I hate the operations and park atmosphere while I actually think la ronde has the best coaster lineup of the lower tier six flags parks (Darien lake great escape frontier city and la ronde) since I actually liked la monstre vampire and goliath

@@CanobieCoaster Thank you! Yeah I'm considering to buy their filotomatix, I'm visiting for two days and I want to have plenty of re-rides😅

[@Cat3465]

SFOG is typically a hit or miss. It sometimes get bashed on by enthusiasts but not always cuz it's one of the most praised parks in the chain. The park has one of the strongest coaster line ups now that they have 13 of them with Georgia Surfer being their newest coaster. It has beautiful scenary but not as much as what Fiesta has

[@CanobieCoaster]

I just wish the ops were consistently good.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

A little late in my comment here, but having just visited Fiesta Texas, they have recently removed the single rider option for Iron Rattler. It seems that Six Flags is moving away from the single rider lines, as they probably realized that to effectively have single rider lines, they need to have assigned seating, which requires more staff and leads to guests being unhappy about not getting to pick their row. Pandemoniums should still be able to have it. I have Great Adventure ahead of Magic Mountain, for the amazing operations, but it's a close call. I actually have SFNE 4th, but maybe my opinion on it is skewed from the spectacular experience I had on my only visit over 2+ days in 2019. SFOT is my # 5, as my almost-home park bias gives it a boost. Beyond that, I think I'm in line with your rankings, other than having not been to Mexico or La Ronde.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Six Flags as a chain seems to have removed single rider lines. The best ones loaded from the exit and let you pick the empty/available seats (Batman at New Englanf did that), but even those ones have been discontinued.

[@SpiderWaffle]

Magic Mountain has had almost everything running since October, operations have improved.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I was surprised Superman was open in my recent visit (contrary to the site), but there were some closures.

[@mateoalvira3514]

At Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Canobie Coaster said: The front half is the former parking lot, so the park has crammed in a ton of coasters in there. Joker is an underrated RMC with some punchy drops and spectacular inversions. I absolutely love the stall. Medusa is a great looping coaster from B&M. This floorless coaster is a large, smooth, and forceful ride. Then there are two nice launch coasters in Superman, which is a Premier Rides Sky Rocket II and that ride has some wild airtime. The other is Flash: Vertical Velocity, which is a strange Intamin impulse coaster with freaky hangtime. And Batman the Ride is a chaotic S&S free spin offering a few flips. Don't forget Kong, the park's Vekoma SLC. But why did you not say that?

[@hyperchronicxlc]

I can agree with some of what you say about SFGAm. The ops are actually pretty solid usually. It sucks that MaxxForce has to run with one train tho. Having been to SFGAm more times than the average enthusiast, I have to step in when I hear people talk about the lines being a problem because of how busy the park apparently gets. I go at least once a week on average throughout the season and it’s usually on a week day. And I never usually run into lines that are too long and I’m able to marathon rides pretty consistently there. I think SFGAm gets a bad rep for that because it CAN get busy being nestled between the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. But as a local, I can tell you other enthusiasts out there to not be discouraged when you hear others talk up the business of this park. It’s overblown. And as a result, it gets unfairly ranked. SFGAm is a Top 3 Six Flags park. Just catch it on a weekday and you’ll most likely be fine.

[@CanobieCoaster]

When I was there in 2021, Maxx Force always ran two. But I did hit high crowds on a few days.

[@hyperchronicxlc]

@@CanobieCoaster That’s the last time it ran 2 trains. I heard it’s because the ride didn’t break down as much with just one train. I understand that’s your experience. I was just filling in the blanks as a local enthusiast. I frequently am at the park on days when the lines aren’t long at all.

[@Commanders2022]

Six flags america has so much potential. It doesn’t get major additions because of low attendance, but the reason why attendance is low is because the locals know the park hasn’t grown much over the past 23 years. People would rather go to Kings dominion, Hershey, and BGW. The park might seem like it is slowly growing, but attendance is probably the lowest it’s been since the 1990s. I remember 10 years ago when Fright Fest used to be crowded every night and the overflow parking lot being filled up. This past fright fest, the over flow parking lot was barely used and the longest wait time was 15 mins. The park is also one of the only parks in the area that does not have a Holiday event anymore. The park suffers because six flags won’t take the risk and invest in the park. I think the only way they will get a new coaster is if they RMC Roar or remove batwing and put in a small single rail.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd love to see this park invest more. They have a lot of potential, but the park really is hurt by its past reputation.

Of the Six Flags parks I've been to I rank them as 1. SFMM 2. SFGAd 3. SFGAm 4. SFSL. I feel like my list would be very similar if not identical to yours whenever I visit the rest of the parks. SFGAm is my home park and I'm glad you didn’t over rate it like many seem to do.

I'm probably biased since it's my home park and I've only ever been to Magic Mountain and America, but Great Adventure seems like the top park in the chain just from the coaster collection alone. The operations are just fantastic running 2-3 trains on everything and while the atmosphere might not be the greatest in the world it's still a nice atmosphere, especially during fright fest.

I dream about discovery kingdom getting bought by seaworld the operations there suck

[@CanobieCoaster]

If anything, I see those parks just getting less investment. La Ronde gets crowds despite barely getting anything.

[@WayneHarasym-tc9fs]

Here’s what we need.... Combine all summer and winter passes into one big MEGA PASS! That be Six flags/Cedar fair/Ikon/Epic! How cool would that be huh??!!

[@CanobieCoaster]

We'll see what happens!

[@gucci_prodz]

As someone living an hour away from fietsa, i agree its a fire park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Lucky you live so close.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Not many of these parks have Indoor Flat Rides

[@thefinalchicken9694]

Ok and?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Not many unfortunately.

[@Rigden1]

Six flags america will be even better once the steamworks area comes out

[@CanobieCoaster]

Should be!

[@antoineosburn8626]

Awesome! My home park is number one. Yeehaw.😊😊😊

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@mateoalvira3514]

I would ask you about coasters at both Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks. For example, imagine trying to ride again: Batman the Ride at Six Flags Great America and Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland. What would you think?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like Batman but not that Flight Deck.

[@gilbertceballos8674]

I've only been to two. Fiesta texas and magic mountain (its my home park, grew up going all the time) I agree on your top 2 placements. I'm gonna visit discovery kingdom and over georgia in a few months. And also six flags mexico in December 🙂 I am so excited.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy! Six Flags Mexico is beautiful for Christmas.

[@eko9554]

I don’t think I’ve ever been to six flags. I’ve only been to Knotts, Disneyland, universal studios Hollywood, legoland, and sea world(can’t remember cause I was a baby). I would love to go magic mountain and their other parks. My band from school did have an optional trip to visit magic mountain but I didn’t go.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Definitely worth visiting if you love coasters.

[@omarmendoza7150]

Six flags over Texas is nice! Great for walking and being with family! It lowkey big .

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is a big park.

[@kendallbedford2523]

Ive been to fiesta texas once and I second this park being the no. 1

[@CanobieCoaster]

I love the park.

[@ItsSiebay]

My home park really has been making a turnaround from where it was 10 years ago. I know where it falls short, and thankfully it seems like Six Flags is willing to do more with it nowadays. I really do hope we get a new coaster soon though, because Batwing’s days are numbered.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Has Batwing been reliable the past 2 years? It was bad in my 2020 and 2021 visits.

[@ItsSiebay]

@@CanobieCoaster it’s been running on most of my visits, but with only one train now, which has made queue times unreasonably long.

[@arturobianco848]

Well if things do well i'll have done them all except for the one in Mexico. Of the ones i 'vr done yup you are pretty much spot on. Although i have to say i really enjoyed Darien lake it had this really nice layback feeling even if it isn't the best park all around.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a solid park, just not as good as others in the chain.

[@arturobianco848]

@@CanobieCoaster O i defently agree with that statement. I was just pleasantly suprised how nice it vibed if thats the right expression in english.

[@strudelninja]

Screamin' Eagle is in no way smoother than The Boss any more. Not that The Boss is smooth, but Eagle was running horribly rough this last season and I definitely walked away from it feeling worse than when I got on. And the ride is looking really rough too. I'm hopeful that we'll see Eagle get a big refurb for its 50th in 2026, hopefully some retracking and maybe new trains would help. A lot of the structure needs work too, as the wood looks like it's literally falling apart. Colossus, the ferris wheel, was also down on every visit for me last season and I wonder if maybe it was closed the whole year waiting for a part or something. I also still haven't gotten on Supergirl or the the Larson loop because those were also closed on all my visits, as was the splash battle...it's the rare park where you're likely to see more coasters than non-kiddie flats running, which I think is probably from their massive staffing issues (the park is just far enough out from the city that a lot of students would rather take local jobs that don't involve an hour commute, and there's no longer any form of bus running out there from the city).

[@CanobieCoaster]

Screamin' Eagle was smooth for me in 2020, but I haven't been to this park since.

[@strudelninja]

@@CanobieCoaster and 2023 was the first time I'd been in probably 15 years. I definitely recall it being smoother in my teens, but it really felt like it hadn't had any work on it between those two times.

[@StlCrp29]

I disagree...I live in Eureka and frequent the park alot and I'd say The Boss is waaay rougher. I will not ride it anymore...Screamin' Eagle had some rough rides during Fright Fest but it had some that went real smooth, I haven't had a decent ride on The Boss in many years....That's just my perspective

[@hellowill]

Never been to Six Flags... but I've known about it for over 20 years thx to RCT2. One day I want to go to the US and visit a few + Cedar Point.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Definitely worth a visit.

[@a_man_named_lordacis]

Good Ranking. Most of the Six Flags parks I've been to were the better ones.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@Zemmip]

Fiesta is such a great park and easily the nicest in the chain. Jeffrey should honestly be the CEO of Six Flags. Magic Mountain has amazing rides but outside of that the park is one of the worst in the chain. Operations at Magic Mountain are shameful and you're lucky if half the coasters in the park are open on any given day at this point.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree Magic's operations really could use improvement. With faster dispatches and a better ride schedule, they probably could take the top spot.

[@Zemmip]

@CanobieCoaster I went with a buddy last year and we had nearly a full week at the park. X2 only opened for about 1 hour during our entire trip. This was common with several other rides, and at no point were more than half the rides in the park actually open at once. Tatsu, Superman, Scream, and Riddler were closed the entire week. Lines were over an well over hour long for nearly everything in the park. They were obviously grossly understaffed and the ops were hilariously slow at getting trains dispatched. Was a night a day difference compared to the time we spent at Knotts which was wonderful.

[@thelegendaryfk7922]

X2 is awesome

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes it is.

[@ScottyMania313]

Fiesta is so beautiful. San Antonio is so beautiful. Great #1. The best part is the quarry is a stone's throw away. - That was a Homer Simpson pop

Having grown up in Montreal, La Ronde gave me many amazing memories in the 80s and 90s....however, after going back for a visit with my family in 2023, what a disaster it is now!!! Saying the place needs a little TLC is an understatement....Several rides were closed, the food choices were brutal, and my wife twisted her ankle on an uneven bit of pavement on one of the main walkways! I will never go back again!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sorry to hear you had a poor visit and I hope your wife is ok.

[@Lucky_9705]

Six Flags New England is also my home park and I love it

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@Operez94]

Great adventure is by far my FAVORITE one next to the Mexico City one ❤️

[@CanobieCoaster]

Those are two great ones.

[@Random_Eebs]

personally i feel sfga should be over mexico because the ride lineup for sfga is insanely diverse

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree SFGA has a deeper lineup. Mexico has a better top 2 and better atmosphere.

[@revofreak1993]

I constantly see the same rides, just in different parks, gets boring somehow

[@CanobieCoaster]

At least not all the same ride names are exact clones.

[@MrBlonday]

Magic Mountain could be number 1 if it ran 2 trains and put in a modern hyper coaster from B&M or Intamin and took out Goliath

[@CanobieCoaster]

Better ops would make them number one for me.

[@brallanalarcon9295]

Of the ones I’ve been to: 1. Great adventure 2. Magic Mountain 3. Great America 4. Over Georgia 5. New England 6. America I got lucky and only missed out on ninja at MM and great America is just such a strong park but needs a stand out ride. Great Adventure takes it for me the ride line up (although a lot are clones) is so good and with Phlash I think it’s going to make the gap between the top 2 bigger

[@thebestdecepticonSoundwave]

*flash

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's good luck at Magic.

[@waycnf7229]

Once New England finally gets a new coaster, we'll be back to top 5! (Please make us have a 1, 2, 3 punch instead of just 2, Six Flags)
