I'm really glad to see Great America finally getting the respect it deserves. It's been my homepark for nearly 30 years and I've never once had a bad time there. Maxx Force really grows on you the more you ride it but it's understandable to feel underwhelmed at it's short layout.

Thank you!! I’ve grown up with Great America being about an hour away as my home park and I have been so proud to have it as my home park, never had a bad time and they’re really quick to respond to incidents, like when someone got dehydrated in the line of “The Demon” they rushed right in and helped her, I absolutely love it there and I can’t wait to get back this year

Happy to see Great America rank so high, it's my home park and I have tons of great memories there. It's where I got over my childhood coaster fears and the fact it has such a well-rounded collection I think helps with that, as new enthusiasts are able to try out a variety of rides and see what they like

Six Flags great adventure was my number one Six Flags park for a very long time. Two years ago I got to great America for the first time. Within hours it was my favorite. Like you said, no obnoxious policies, great atmosphere, great rides, great ops… I was in love. It felt so welcoming. To me great adventure feels like a gigantic carnival, but Great America felt like home.

As someone who has Over Texas as their home park, how much you'll like our coasters depends on how much you like intensity. We're LOADED with positive g machines, and if you like that you'll adore our collection. But if you prefer airtime, I can see why you'd think it's mediocre.

As someone who has proudly claimed Six Flags Magic Mountain as my home park for more than 30yrs, I'm very proud to see it at the top of the list lol. Can't go wrong with Magic Mountain 🤷🏽‍♀️ Everyone needs to come and experience our great MM at least once if they like Six Flags and love coasters. If ya ever run into me there, I also give lots of great information about the park and the rides, I'm so proud to still call it my home park and take so much pride it in lol. I do wanna experience some of the other parks, however. Great Adventure has always been one of the others that I really would like to check out, and Over Texas just because it is a historical park, being it's the very first one in the chain. Think I'll take a trip up North and do Discovery Kingdom first since it's just a few hours' drive or even a 1hr or so flight up from LA. Then branch out from there. Great video thanks for sharing! I KNEW Great Adventure and MM were gonna be SOMEWHERE in the top 3, just didn't know which order.

Six Flags St Louis was a huge surprise to me. I expected it to be a VERY low tier six flags park, but I came out thinking it was pretty decent! The park has good landscaping and terrain, they have a very well-rounded lineup, and overall I just had a very pleasant time at that park.

Of The Six Flags Parks I've been to. I almost 100% Agree with this list. 8. Darien Lake 7. St. Louis 6. Over Texas 5. Over Georgia 4. New England 3. Fiesta Texas 2. Great Adventure 1. Great America The edge for me for St. Louis over Darien lake is Ride of Steel is the only thing at Darien Lake I wanted to ride over and over (Tantrum wasn't built yet on my last visit.) At St. Louis I was a fan of American Thunder, Batman, Mr. Freeze, Screamin' Eagle, and I'm a huge fan of The Boss. The more versatile collection gives it the win for me.

Despite six flags America's low ranking, this park is technically the definition of a six flags park. Decent waterpark, long coaster gap, very light theming, ads on every corner, meh food, a lot of clones, and Six Flags America is that amusement park that you visit once, maybe twice a year. The other six flags parks are either decently themed, have solid coaster line ups, are full of animals, have more than enough meh wooden coasters, or are straight up garbage (la ronde)

As someone who 's only been to Discovery Kingdom, I think your ranking is justified. The rest of the lineup above it seems to be better than what we have over here, and I'll try my best to be able to visit more themeparks, but Discovery Kingdom for me is a great park that has a good coaster lineup (minus Kong, even the staff jokes on it) mixed with some good secondary attractions. The animals are fine, but there's not a single person I know of that goes there for them. The park will always hold a special place in my heart regardless of what happens.

Thanks for giving my home park (Over Georgia) some love. There's so much potential. History of being the second ever Six Flags, a lot of natural elevation changes through the park with the landscape of the location which I think gives it more character as opposed to a giant flat concrete jungle. Here's a video idea of a 10 year plan for over Georgia. 1. Axis launch coaster or any launch coaster. (In the need for speed) 2. Mack Power Splash or the Intamin ultra splash? If I remember correctly. It's Georgia, it's hot. (near goth city, great area but no shade or water attractions near) 3. Convert Georgia Scorcher from Standup to a Floorless coaster. It is actually a good Standup coaster, yes, they do exist. Floorless could only enhance a good ride to a great little experience. The "Feet to the fire" slogan they use would play much better also. 4. RMC The Great American Scream Machine. And no, not like you think. It's a classic. Just have RMC go old school and retrack it. I think the smoothness from RMC track could potentially unlock some nice air time on this wooden classic. And get rid of the beating you take. Though not as bad as it used to be with Mindbenders old trains now in use. But still bad. 5. Giga RMC T-REX or the incoming manufacturing clone designs you know are gonna be happening. At the end of this 10 year plan this design will have been around for a while and perfected in experience and cost of build. With a savings of back to back remodels over new coasters. They can put those savings to work. Plus park is due a big hitter in the coaster line up. Two-year gap between each coaster and coaster remodel.

St. Louis used to be my home park. It holds so much nostalgia for me as that's where I rode my very first coaster as a kid. It wasn't until 2013 when I went to SFGAm that I found out what I was truly missing. Great America is now my home park and it brings me so much joy to see you rank it 2! It's such a well rounded park. It's great for both families and thrill seekers and has some of my favorite coasters of all time (can't get enough of the bull back row). Haven't made it to Magic Mountain yet, but hoping to next year!

As someone who works at Discovery Kingdom, y'know, I get it. We make jokes as ride attendants about us being where we are. But, also to be fair, we were told on my ride that our crew is now the standard for all parks to operate based on, so take your wins when you get them I guess. (Basically, this means that we on my ride operate so well, so fast and safe, that they now compare all other rides in the other parks to us, and make others live up to our standards)

I was sure that it was going to end up at number 2 or possibly even 3. I'm also not surprised because... it's Magic Mountain. We basically have an answer to anything you throw at us. It may not always be a better answer, but it's at least a pretty good answer. Plus, it was your home park. It's easy to both attack and defend your home because it's your own to do with.

I was worried you wouldn't put Magic Mountain above Great America. I think that when you lived near by you got used to it in a way that people who travel to visit it never would. I really don't think any Six Flags park has a coaster collection that comes within striking distance of Magic Mountain. And the use of the hill really gives the park some great character (though they need to finally refurbish the hill top and the Sky Tower.) And like you said, even if you want to compare one coaster to another with any other park, no park in North America has anything to compare to X2.

@@ErrorNumber404 I think you misunderstood my meaning when I say nothing in North America compares with X2. I'm not saying that X2 is officially the best coaster in North America. I'm saying that no park has anything remotely like it to compare. I can easily find coasters to compare to Steel Vengeance or Velocicoaster but X2 isn't one of them. I can't really think of any coaster in North America that is even mildly similar to X2 when you consider the 4D effect and the overall layout.

The reason other parks are not as strict as Great Adventure on loose articles is because of New Jersey laws, not Six Flags Corporate. After the incidents with Toro and Ka, the state of New Jersey came up with loose article policies for their bigger and more intense coasters.

I've been to 9 Six Flags Parks in the United States. I would rank them this way: 1. Six Flags Magic Mountain- Best Overall coaster collection. 2. Six Flags Fiesta Texas- Other parks may have better coaster collection, but with the 1-2 RMC punch and the setting I really like this park. 3. Six Flags Great Adventure- Basically El Toro get this ranking for it. 4. Six Flags Great America- Needs a standout coaster. Goliath is my favorite in the park. Also this park is always crowded. Very deep collection. I would say it may be deeper than Great Adventure. 5. Six Flags Over Georgia- Also very deep coaster collection. And I generally like Mind Bender and Great american Scream Machine more than most. 6. Six Flags New England- Wasn't impressed with the park after the top 2. Also very crowded. 7. Six Flags Over Texas- My thoughts mirror yours on this park. I think you were spot on. 8. Six Flags St. Louis- I actually enjoyed this park more than NE and OT, but the coaster collection lacks standout rides. 9. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom- Poor operations every time I go to this park I could see Darien Lake challenging Discovery Kingdom, and I would expect America, Frontier City, and Great Escape to be the bottom 3.

Fiesta is my adopted home park (Over Texas technically is), but I don't rank it above Great Adventure. I think it's a coin toss with Great America. Depending on the mood I'm in, Fiesta ranks 3rd or 4th for me.

For me, SFFT would be #2 behind (probably) Great Adventure, but I also have bias since it’s my home park. For me, it looks to have one of the most well rounded experiences of all the Six Flags parks. I can’t fairly rank most of them, but the ones I have been to are fun but have flaws. Even SFFT I’m not crazy about the lineup, but with Dr Diabolical we’ll have 3 great coasters (IRat, Dr D, and Goliath) and then some solid ones too (SKC, Batman, and Pandemonium) and the rest are meh. So not the strongest lineup, but makes up for it in other areas

Six Flags Over Texas is my home park and I do have to agree that it’s fallen behind and even neglected by the chain, which as you said is ironic because the corporate headquarters is right down the road. When you compare Arlington to Magic Mountain, the roller coaster lineup sucks. But on its own, it still has a lot of heart. I just wish they’d put a little more work into it.

I think great adventures lineup peaked in 2006, when they still had The Chiller and El Toro & Ka were brand new. Growing up I thought their lineup was really interesting and was deep but since losing the chiller the park became a bit top heavy without alot of interesting depth. It's still good but I do feel nostalgic with how it was back then

I'm just going to echo what some of the other people have said and agree that it's nice to see Great America finally being recognized. I really felt that it was a great park before 2010 and I knew it really had potential if the chain would just invest more into it. Thankfully, that crazy guy from New Zealand or wherever he was from who was the president of Six Flags for a little while had a vision for the park and worked really well with Hank to make it happen. I really feel that Six Flags St Louis has a lot of that potential as well. I know with the current Six Flags president nothing's going to happen substantially but I really hope that once Six Flags is in a better position and they hire somebody with a little bit more ambition to expand the parks again that it's somebody who can really get a glimpse of the potential that Six Flags St Louis has. a good decade of strong investment in that Park would turn it into a real destination.
