Six Flags America

On Sunday I Took my family here to celebrate my daughter birthday. We had some good times there first ride The Raging Canging was the best!!! The workers was friendly and made my daughter day by giving her a shoutout. The food court in Gothom City was amazing London our cashier was AWESOME!!! and Aaron the Manager on duty was great. I can’t forget Skylar in Coyote Park on the Bull spin. She made our night and we promised her we be back this weekend. Thanks for making my daughter and her friends the best day of there life.

This should be called ghetto flags of America. It looks like a run down amusement park from a horror story. Trash every where and every thing is dirty. Shame on Six Flags for allowing this place to carry the brand name.
If you value your money, go elsewhere!

I’m gong to give Six Flags two stars for being a bad neighbor! Turn down that damn music! No one once to hear that noise over five miles away! I went to Hershey Park, do they play music that loud? Hell no!

We decided to use our season pass and plan on using this pass 4 times. I thought this Six Flags is okay and pretty tall. We ended walking the entire park. I am with a lot of people the Superman ride is the best ride of the park and there is no doubt about it. The only problem is that it did not open till 3pm and was open for 4 hours due to them experiencing the virtual reality experience.
The rides I rode on I would comment as follow
1. Superman — the best ride, I rode the ride 3 times and it was great. I got to ride it up front and it was an awesome experience
2. Joker’s Jinx — was okay, very fun with the launch
3. Penguin — very dizzy ride and not fun water ride. Your shoes will be soggy
4. Batman — a great flying coaster that was smooth. It did not make me sick.
5. River Rapids Ride– very bumpy and not fun. You do not get wet that is the best part
6. Water ride with the up and then you go down — Your pants will get super wet and cold be prepared
7. Wild One — very shaky and not fun. The carts were very tight
8. Roar — I did like the ride, but it was bumpy
9. Mind Bender — better than Kong, but not much better as it does jerk side to side.
10. Drop zone — it was okay very short ride that goes up and then down
11. Acopolyse — do not ride it is not good and smooth compared to others I rode.
12. Ragin Cajin — It was not as bad as I thought and it did not spin as much as I was expecting. I know I rode more rides
Now lets get to the customer service
It is a hit and miss. Some people were friendly and nice and some were just rude and had an attitude. The Superman ride took forever to load the people into the carts and only 1 cart was operating. It took usually 5 to 7 minutes to start a cart. Some rides did have the same effect.
The food lines were very consistent with the other six flags, took forever and I did not get French fries and a dinky 1.2 hot dog. We got a person’s hair into the burger but since we waited so long we did not ask for it back.
We had a great time at Six Flags, I can not wait to vist the one in New jersey.

Not equipped to handle lunch demands from patrons. Pizza place hasn’t had any pizza to serve in 15 minutes– ridiculous

Man the employees here suck something awful. Slow as hell and unprofessional They let lines build up and dont let everyone on. Its ridiculous they start the carousel with so many open spots while people are just waiting to get on. They do the same thing on a lot of kid rides and its not right. Don’t get me started on the food lines! They have so many people back there but nothing is happening. It took me 23 minutes from when I ordered fried Oreos to get my first order and then an additional 10 minutes for the other one. I feel like they are trying to discourage you from getting food! We got the food pass but I dont feel like waiting 30 – 45 mins for chicken strips. I could understand if there is a long line and having to wait BUT there isnt. Three people in front of u at city works chicken and your butt is waiting 30 – 45 minutes. What the hell are they doing in there. The employees have conversations like customers are not waiting. Employees are throwing basketballs around like nobody is around. One girl almost crashed into customers trying to catch the ball. I hope supervisors see this post because this place is BAD. I’m in awe of how SLOW they are here. UNbelievable and
UNprofessional.

Oh. Sixflags. It brings back childhood memories of getting a season pass in my Easter basket. My grandma only lived 5 minutes from here, so it’s safe to say we spent most of our summers at Sixflags. We stopped going in 2003 because there were 3 fights, and someone stole my grandmas cellphone out of her bag.
A little over 3 years ago, when I met my husband, he talked me into getting a season pass with him. If you live close, I highly suggest buying one. It’s probably only $ 10 or $ 20 more than a one day pass, and you can come back everyday for the rest of the season. Of course, nothing has changed since I was a kid. I can tell that they are trying to change though, believe it or not. They have remodeled a whole section to look like New Orleans Mardi Gras, and they add a new ride every year, such as the Apocalypse (’12), the Bonzai water slides (’13), Rajin Cajun (’14), Fireball (’15), and this year I think it’s a virtual Superman ride. But other than that, it’s exactly how I left it on my last visit in 2003. We still get a season pass for many reasons.
1. It’s close to us, only 30 minutes away.
2. It’s a lot of fun, not the best amusement park of course, but the best one in the DC area.
3. Lots of fun rides and roller coasters.
4. We only go on weekdays, and it’s never busy. The crowd isn’t as bad as it used to be, unless you go on a weekend.
5. With the season pass, you get a coupon book that includes bring a friend free, bring a friend half off, and many other coupons.
6. The water park is a lot of fun, especially the Tornado and the Bonzai slides.
7. You can use your season pass during Fright Fest (Halloween), which is a lot of fun, and if you pay an extra $ 10 for a wristband, you get to go in all of the haunted houses.
8. Sardi’s Chicken is 5 minutes away, we usually leave to eat there (it is delicious) and then go back.
9. You can use your season pass at any Sixflags park, and the New Jersey sixflags is about 4 hours away, but it’s worth visiting once or twice while you have the season pass because it is probably one of the best amusement parks in the country, considering it has the tallest roller coaster. (P.S. if you do plan on going to New Jersey at least twice, I would recommend buying the season pass there. While you can enter their park with the six flags america season pass, they will not let you enter the water park with it.)
10. Every summer they add a new ride!
It’s not as great as Kings Dominion (which is too far for me) but It’s worth the season pass if you like amusement parks and you live close. It’s not worth the one day pass.

Meh. It’s okay. Like there are roller coasters and stuff but the crowd here isn’t really fun. Plus, this place got bankrupt so it’s really easy to get in here, so it’s essentially a local pool for the locals. EVERYONE comes here. And the roller coasters aren’t even that exciting. Superman is somewhat exciting but it literally breaks down 75% of the time. If u wanna go to a legit amusement park, head over to Kings Dominion :). PLUS PARKING SUCKS HERE. They used to have teams from the far away parking to the park, but the trams come every hour so it’s faster to just walk there! But you’re already tired and it’s the beginning of your day and all u wanna do is go home. :(

Ahhhh where to begin? Lets break it down shall we?
The positives
Some of the roller coasters are very fun and a good way to get your kid into roller coasters. The lines aren’t that long unless its on a very busy day. There is always a concession stand near by so you don’t have to walk to another side of the park. There are also multiple seating areas. Some of the water rides are fun
The negatives
I got my stuff stolen from this place and every time I tell a employee they seem to not care. Speaking of employees they have piss poor attitudes. I mean we don’t have to be best friends but your job is to make the customer happy/satisfied.The rides always seem to be broken down. The food is over priced and use to be good but now it seems like trash. My funnel cake tasted like it was thawed and put into a microwave and my chicken strips were crunchy with barely any meat. Oh did I not mention OVER PRICED? You’ll end up paying almost 60 dollars per person. They always seem to be out of things. The wave pool is dirty and so is the lazy river. The clientele (most) are ghetto and like to pick fights with people. We need to get adult workers who care and not kids running around and playing games. The park always seem run down and dirty.
Bottom line? Spend your money on Kings Dominon, Bush Gardens, or Hershey Park. You’ll get great service, food, cleanliness, and more for your money.

i’m more worried about staying warm than looking sexy for Halloween… Man, I’ve gotten old…
My first time ever at six flags and it was to come here for fright fest! bumerrr
This was the biggest waste of time ever… Just drove about two hours and i can truly say that only got to ride 2 SMALL rides one or 2 big coaster and only 2 fright fest attraction… Six flags America should be ashamed of themselves for overselling this event!
Right from the start you pay way too much for any convenience at a Six Flags… Do not bring in anything or you will have it taken away by security or pay to lock it up
I left the park around midnight because they were closing most of fright fest attractions and lines were getting longer for no reason!
Poor customer interaction and no follow up… Totally unacceptable!

Good amusement park! I recommend doing the season pass. Two visits will pay itself!

Really bad experience in general.
Most of the staff is not nice. (Just a few exemptions)
Bathrooms incredible dirty and smelly. (It was not even a hot summer day!)
Two rides were stop and got broken when my group was waiting in line. One of them was the penguin’s Blizzard River. The staff stopped it for a shift change leaving people in the water and then they changed their mind and decided to ask people to leave the boats as they could while they were in the water and not in the ramp. It was very risky and it seemed they were not trained very well.
Court Food miserable. Extremely dirty. (Don’t even try to go to the funnel cake’s stands).
It’s so sad a theme park at the Capital City is so bad.

Great rides but the place in my opinion hasn’t got to my expectations
It needs a lot of improvement like upgrading their photo machines
And the snacks corners and their fast food as well it also seems very very old
But in compensation when i went thereon Saturday it was very empty and I enjoyed it i almost finished the costers in about 2 hours, definitely recommended for the rides

I have read so many reviews on here, that I just had to right my own review.
First of all, in my opinion, anyone living within a 30 minute drive of Six Flags must purchase the Season pass. The driver has to get the gold card that comes with parking. You should definitely get the meal plan and the green cup that comes with free refills! I have a toddler and a 8 year old. Six Flags has to sections of the park dedicated to little kids. This is an awesome place to go during the summer breaks and my kids just love it!!! You pay that expensive price at the beginning of the season and you have somewhere to go all season long. The food is too expensive to not get a meal plan. If you buy one meal plan everyone can share lunch and share dinner. Last season I bought one meal plan and we shared. This season I bought 2. Next season I am buying 3. Go there at least 6 times and you will get your money back. You only need one green $ 20 cup per family. They will give you little free water cups that you can use so everyone don’t have to drink out of the green cup. I put my green cup in the dishwasher and it melted. Not completely, but it changed into a weird shape so wash it out by hand.
My only gripe is that I misplaced my gold card and had to get a replacement card. The parking person told me that I would get reimbursed for parking after I get my replacement card. The guy in the Season pass office told me to go to the ticket office to get reimbursed for parking since I previously paid for a gold card. However, Julie Ann who worked in the ticket office insisted that you don’t get reimbursed for parking if you have misplaced your gold card even after you get your replacement card as proof.
Cons
The public bathrooms are usually pretty nasty. Some should be constantly cleaning those bathrooms. They usually have the stench of urine.
The log boat ride that splashes the people on the bridge smelled like pure piss on two separate occasions. I really think they need a security guard at that ride to protect the employees because people aren’t allowed to ride without a shirt, shoes ect. A lot of people show up in their swim wear and when the poor teenagers tell them that they can’t get on unless they are fully dressed or they have to get off, some of these customers become irate. I have been scared for the safety of the employees. However, this ride is my 8 year old’s favorite, so I have to deal with it.
In all, this place is totally worth the money of the season pass because my kids feels that I am the best mommy in the world everytime that I take them.

Yay 6 Flags!
Let’s start off with the Good.
There water park is amazing. The wait was annoyingly long at times but hey safety first. The scariest water ride is the one you have to step into and the floor drops. Needless to say I rode every ride more than once except that ride. Other benefits include semi clean bathrooms, fast entry to rides, good music played by the DJ etc.
Moving on to the BAD.
As with any amusement park locker rentals and food are super expensive. Ain’t nothing we can do about that. Unfortunately the wave pool produced No Waves! I refuse to swim in a child infested peepee pool with out waves. #GirlBYE. The day we went it seemed as though some of the Rollercoasters were or of commission.
All in all, me and my friends had a great time and would definitely go back!

I like Six Flags. I’ve been going here since it was Wild World back in the day so the park packs a lot of found memories. The park is always clean and the staff energetic and friendly. The rides feel safe and the water park fun. The parking lot is huge and they are prepared for big crowds. I tend to go when a lot of people won’t be there (fright fest or a rainy day). Fright Fest is a lot of fun and the spook factor is a great time. I don’t go in the haunted houses, not my thing but the «monsters» running around is a lot of fun. This theme park is so close that a visit is easy and always a good time!

This park had been off my radar since I had not heard good things about it. We attended an event in the water park. Going early makes a difference. You have a choice of chairs and the crowds aren’t overwhelming if you are at Hurricane Harbor when it opens (Gold card members get in first). I was injured so I didn’t get on rides. I was the «bag keeper.» My family had a blast on all the scary roller coasters. You can’t pay me to hang upside down, even on a good day.
I walked around the lazy river with a raft. I enjoyed the coolness of the water and multiple conversations with other guests as we went by them. The lifeguards were completely focused on watching everyone. The wave pool is a perfect way to cool off without actually trying to swim. Kudos to DJ Sammy Badilla, who was amazing with facilitating games and being hilarious to listen to. Even when he didn’t have an audience, he performed as if he had a full house. Six Flags, give that man a raise. We left the wave pool area around 2pm, just as the huge masses started to arrive.
I appreciated seeing security guards who had an active presence in the pool area and throughout the park. I felt the most empathy for the employees dressed up as animals in 90+ degree weather. I hope they are compensated for their efforts. Some of the costumers are outdated and lame but Daffy Duck still has it going on.
Parking is pricy at $ 20 a pop. King’s Dominion & Disney World charge $ 15. We researched other transportation to Six Flags. The Largo metro is 5 miles away. Waiting for a bus after being exhausted at the end of the day doesn’t work for me. The food prices are the same as most theme parks, overpriced. The refillable cup is just under $ 17. You can get free refills all day long (King’s Dominion charges $ 9.99 if you buy the cup at the entrance). Season ticket holders can purchase a $ 20 cup that is refillable the entire season. I asked an employee what the policy was on breaking a season ticket holder cup since it isn’t exactly sturdy. He said that if you returned a broken cup, the park replaced it the first time and after that you had to purchase another one.
Gotham City has fun activities and a theater. We attended a concert that was off the charts. That made up for feeling ripped off for parking. The guards at the concert were really considerate of my injuries and accommodated me and my family. Kindness matters.
I was overcharged for a cape I purchased in the gift shop. It took several calls and face book messages but I was finally able to connect with a human. If you call the number listed on the web site, you will usually get a recording.
If you decide to visit the park, Discover Card holders (and their peeps) have their own line. That saved us waiting in the longer lines to enter security. If you go to the water park, tell DJ Sammy Gail says hi.

Summer is here! Yeah
The water park and the roller coasters are amazing, with a convenient location for my location. I really enjoy each time and my season pass
The food a lot bit expensive but there is a way too find good princes on the food by groups.

Never leave your belongings in the locked locker! You can just throw them into trash bin and get the same result.
My Iphone 6 plus with my id, my bank card and my insurance was stolen today from a locked locker. I guess, someone just watching for you to put the staff there and then use your password to take it.
Of course, I went to «Lost and Found» office, filed a lot of paper work, talked to the guys responsible for lockers, looked through the printout when someone opened the locker. It all was fun, but at the end I got only «we are sorry».
So I paid for the park, for the parking, for a locker. Now I also paying for a new phone. So this trip costs me around $ 1000. The only plus from this trip is that now I know that they are not responsible for the belongings left in the lockers you’ve paid for.

Smaller & older often equals better…
I love this place. Even without the record breaking coasters & brand new thrill rides, this place is the «bomb!» Holding a Six Flags season pass for years then visiting DC in summers is how I discovered here. This place of older coasters, smaller size, less rides overall — gives me a very happy day EVERY time. It’s a chillaxed visit full of engaging fun.
Location: Largo, Maryland (Six Flags park near Baltimore/​Washington, DC)
Parking: The lot is in front & while they charge for parking like all Six Flags, being a smaller park they scan my season pass (Gold or Regular) & they generally let you in hassle free.
Admission: $ 59.99 (Less than the others).
Hours: The operating hours here are a little shorter than the other Six Flags w/​the half a year operating season (MD is also not a year round warm state annually either).
Season (s): Overall about May– October. The normal Hurricane Harbor Waterpark Six Flags style is attached here & included. You won’t miss the huge «Tornado» funnel slide for 4 ppl right as you pull in the parking lot.
Food: Just buy some of the theme park food here! Pack a picnic in your car if you want, but at this park you will not fight long wait lines. You have the time to buy a chicken fingers basket or a pretzel & cheese. Just do it — Enjoy the full theme park experience!
Drink: I still recommend the Six Flags Season Cup — about $ 15 & free refills ALL day. Get one & share. Good all season at any Six Flags, so keep it or toss if you don’t plan to return. You save money even for a day buying one of the cups for your family/​friends.
Shops: Most are right in the front. Along with the Six Flags themes, DC Comics Justice League & Looney Toons (for the kiddos) purchases will be all over. I like to check out the shops on my way out. Being in the front, I can shop and bring my goodies to the car rather than hauling them around on rides all day.
Line Situations: Very short. Sometimes none. The Flash pass here is not needed in my opinion. I have gotten to ride in a row multiple times often here. It’s so cool. The staff are happy to send you on that last train out one more time right two minutes before park close. They are happy to see the smiles, not rushing to get home. I love their optimism and enthusiasm!
My adult fun factor experience overall level: ⁴⁄₅
If you only have one day, do not miss 2 coasters here: Superman: The Ride! (It is an older” hypercoaster,” but very fun trip across the park & back!) Also, the BATWING! OMG! Locals are exhausted of this hidden gem at the back of the park. I hope they NEVER remove it! We all get excited for the Superman Flight coasters, right? Well, this one harnesses you in & you ride on your BACK instead. It is so cool. I haven’t been on anything like it! Also, the Batman stuff you pass walking to the coaster in the back of the park is awesome. From a non-​local, please keep that BatWing coaster. INCREDIBLE!
Fun Facts: The Apocalypse (new in 2012) here was truly a treat. I rode it, got off, & said, «Wow, that felt just like the Iron Wolf from Great America!» I texted my brother and learned it IS the Iron Wolf — Moved, painted brightly for the new theme, renamed, new cool effects. Improvements! My very own first «stand up roller coaster» is still running today! It’s new & improved! Now, we fly by shooting flames and neat effects! AWESOME! Plus, no ridiculous line to ride it!
Overall: Happiness is just a theme park away, when you visit this place! The staff here make my day on every single visit I have had. Every Six Flags is truly a different experience. This is not only a pleasure, but they deserve some recognition & reward! Why? This park does not have the newest, coolest, biggest, tallest, fastest, record breaking, quantity of thrill rides or attractions at all. They are small enough that I dressed up as a Ninja Turtle and was recognized throughout the day. They loved it! The energy level here is high & the staff are with you, not running your show, but welcoming you to their world of fun. They have the time. They are high energy. They are happy. Besides I know they are working, I would actually say they are having FUN. They ENJOY their jobs. The game booths staff may have no game customers, but will join me dancing to their awesome jams on the stereo playing. CUPID SHUFFLE. Yeah. They don’t get the large shows and extras the larger Six Flags do. The staff here MAKE up for the entertainment & fun factor all on their own. They are a crowd of the cool peeps running the theme park.

Give lifting that person your best shot, but don’t hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.» — Zig Ziglar
Enjoy your day here not standing in lines, but RIDING coasters, rides, and rocking at life with the awesome staff!
