STEAMTOWN at Six Flags America | SkyWinder POV, Ride Videos, and More!

Six Flags America has announced that the newly transformed steampunk realm, SteamTown: Where the Past Meets the Future, will open to guests beginning Saturday, June 22. Guests are invited by Professor Screamore to an immersive new land with the rich history of a western town, but riveting upgrades only the Professor himself could dream up. These enhancements are part of Six Flags America’s multiyear investment in new guest experiences and park improvements, including the recently opened RipQurl Blaster water coaster.
Come with us as we experience the new land for ourselves, including ride POVs and more!

Peeps!! I'm glad they changed the harnesses.... LONG overdue. It doesn't look any smoother, but at least its not living up to its Mind Eraser name anymore. Glad they are finally investing in the park again.

[@IoMGeek]

The new harness is great and very bigger rider friendly.

[@michaezell4607]

​@IoMGeek Unfortunately the investment came way too little too late.

[@michaezell4607]

Also WHY is screwtube constantly putting the person's name above mine's when I'm quoting a post?

[@bigrob029]

@@IoMGeek that is great to hear!! Gotta let the people know.

[@mark8453]

Thanks for the review Paul. I appreciate your vids alot.

[@ViewFromTheCheapSeats]

The coaster vid package that they did was actually great. It sounded like you were being hit in the gut a few times. Authentic.

yoo!! i was just at that six flags yesterday!

[@sticksncharge4533]

Great video.

[@antoineosburn8626]

That's pretty cool. Our Nebula Z for my home park sfft isn't even constructed yet.

[@jet34thehawk]

Wow cool video

"Steampunk, old Western" Funny thing, theres actually a word for it: "cattlepunk".

This of my 2nd year purchasing a season pass for my grandchildren (7,6,4) and I will not purchase another pass until they grow taller because the rides they can enjoy are so outdated. The renovated rapids reminds me of Dutch wonderland boat ride that travels through the dinosaur exhibit. I’m under whelmed

[@misscandy84]

that looks fun

[@RiqqJ]

I had high hopes for steam town but the upgrades just aren’t that good :/ At least they fixed the mind eraser.

[@Li122.7]

Wym??? It looks awesome, it looks wayy much better then what it used to look like. Let’s be happy SFA is getting investments again.

[@riverdalep]

I agree. The rides are meh at best.

[@JP-1990]

Given the amount of space, I feel there is literally a ton of room for improvement.

[@Tzartle_The_Kaiju]

They really only gave mind eraser new trains..in order for it to be fully “fixed” they’d have to replace the entire track.

[@Li122.7]

@@Tzartle_The_Kaiju it’s better then before I have to say, it’s still shaky but not nearly as much as before

[@Eddytainment]

Put your hands up!

[@IoMGeek]

Nooooooooo!

Hi! I’ve watched a few of your videos this weekend. Six Flags America is my home park, and I rode Skywinder twice yesterday! I found you first looking for BGW videos, as I’m going there tomorrow. Can you offer some comparisons on coasters between the two parks? I used to be roller coaster averse, following my first ride on Loch Ness Monster when I was 6! 😂 But I’m on a personal journey to embrace coasters, and it’s going pretty well! I love all the coasters at SFA, and had no hesitation with Skywinder yesterday. I’m most nervous about Pantheon, Tempesto, and Griffon, though I’ve watched a bunch of videos and might be able to just go for it! 😊 But any insight you can offer to help me tackle BGW would be great. Along the lines of, if you can do Superman first row, then you can handle X, or Y is not much worse than Z. Or which of the BGW coasters to try first to ramp myself up for others (or just start big!). Any advice? Thanks!

[@IoMGeek]

Hey Isabel! Honestly…if you can handle Skywinder, you can absolutely handle anything BGW can throw at you! Tempesto is a bit different as it’s more of a looping coaster, but Griffon is fantastic and doesn’t even go upside down! Tempesto is probably the one that I can’t think of a comparable one at Six Flags. It has multiple launches and goes backwards at one point, but honestly, it’s so smooth it really should be fine, especially if you can handle the likes of Ride of Steel, Batman, or Jokers Jinx! Thank you so much for watching!

[@isabelmartin333]

Thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it. So I don’t need to be too scared of the 90 degree drops or the Pantheon spike?

[@isabelmartin333]

Also, love Joker’s Jinx! It was slow at the beginning of the day yesterday, so I rode it three times in a row 😂

[@IoMGeek]

Ooooooh! Then you don’t need to be afraid of anything at Busch! You’ve tackled so much!

[@isabelmartin333]

@@IoMGeek Thanks again for your encouragement! I rode everything at Busch Gardens today, most things twice because it was a relatively slow day. Pantheon was awesome! So I rode it 4 times! 😆

[@jenniferpowell8591]

Very cool! Where is this 6 flags located?

[@IoMGeek]

Six Flags America is in Bowie, MD, near Washington DC!

[@TheDeviousDrDoom]

WHY NO HANDS UP DURING THE RIDE??

[@IoMGeek]

Hahaha I done do that! It’s too scary!

[@Jtcooleditz]

Is it just me or is sky winder just like the inverted coaster in theme park tycoon 2 ?

[@michaezell4607]

If I'm not mistaken theme park tycoon is a ripoff of that robloxroblox game on screwtube which is unsfafe

[@Jtcooleditz]

@@michaezell4607 idk what ur talking about and what the hell is screwtube

[@michaezell4607]

And screwtube picks the perfect moment to interrupt for a damn advertisement

[@jordanrblx6]

Row 2 is considered the worst row of the ride and all the other parts of the ride is fine that’s what I heard

[@IoMGeek]

Ha, and row 2 is where we sat so that the front seat had the camera rig

[@JaKobe2290]

the closer to the front you are the worse it is. The front isn't the worst because you can see what's Infront of you.

[@michaezell4607]

Doesn't matter how desperately they repackage it a turd turd Is still a still a turd at the end of the day.
