"... like Six Flags Great America, just not as great?" You hit the nail on the head before even entering the park. 😄 Lived in the area for 20 years and most locals avoided it to drive to King's Dominion. SFA has the largest Six Flags park, land wise, but it's like the owners/investors only care to do the bare minimum to populate and run the park with minimal rides. It has loads of potential, given that it exists right on the edge of Washington DC where tourism is huge, but, meh.

The Maryland State Fair starts next Thursday and is held AUGUST 24 - 27 | AUGUST 31 - SEPTEMBER 4 | SEPTEMBER 7 - 10. The Mardi Gras section of SFA is my fav section. The Joker's Jinx is my FAV rollercoaster there. LOVE IT SO MUCH!! It takes off super fast in the beginning and doesn't slow down until the ride is over,

This park started out as a drive-through wildlife Safari in the 1970s, which was not all that successful. In 1982 it was renamed, Wild World as a not so successful amusement park/waterpark. In 1986, they added Wild One coaster originally from Massachusetts. Even with that, the park was not successful all the way up until 1992. Premier Parks bought it in 1992 and begin pouring investments in it. they renamed the park, Adventure, World. In 1998 Premier Parks bought Six Flags and started rebranding their existing parks as Sux Flags parks. In 1999 Adventure World was renamed to Six Flags America.

At one point they used to do a Halloween stunt show and monsters would zip line over your head with chainsaws. Crazy they shut down an entire section of the park. There’s 4 rides back there they blocked off so I’d be a pretty pissed customer considering the park is tiny.

Premier Parks purchased the park and then later they purchased Six Flags during the Time-Warner-AOL merger and changed the name of their company to Six Flags and then proceeded to change the name of all of their crappier parks to 'Six Flags' so that the general public would think that Six Flags had purchased them. It only resulted in the diluting of the Six Flags brand. Much the same as when Nations Bank, ranked worst in customer service, purchased Bank of America and then used their name.

As a local, I have to say that the not being so great part is correct. It's a small park with bare minimum rides. The newest addition is the FireBird coaster. We go to Six Flags not because it's a great park, but because it's local, it has a water park and gives us something to do. My favorite ride is the Scrambler!! The Flying Carousel is actually my favorite swing. Because the park is smaller, I would say the FrightFest is really great!!! I do believe the block off section is used for FrightFest and that section is completely dark. You didn't show the Wonder Woman swing and the Superman rollercoaster. I hope they are still there. I haven't been in some years.

Coyote creek has been shut down since august of 2022. probably just because they are being cheap and see it as easier then opening it. In terms of the rides back in there we don't know their fate yet however it is likely that mind eraser does get reopened next year and they simply pretend it did not close or possibly they give it new trains with the vest restraints.

The Wild One wooden coaster was relocated in 1986 from one of my former regional parks, Paragon Park, in Hull, MA. It debuted there in 1917 as the Giant Coaster, receiving alterations in 1932 and 1963. It closed with Paragon Park in 1985, and was purchased at auction by the then-Wild World park, where it was reassembled as the Wild One.
