A wildlife preserve that operated on the site in the 1970s later became an amusement park
They paved over a wild life reserve for rollercoasters. America is lame.
The worst Six Flags I’ve ever seen.
I went a few years ago on a trip to 8 parks in 2 weeks. This one was easily the worst. When I walked around at opening it was a ghost town. I literally walked down paths and could not see another person. I rode coasters twice in a row as the only passenger and the ride ops basically begged me to go a third time. Later in the day there were more people, but Six Flags clientele doesn’t exactly have a reputation of being the greatest amusement park guests. I’m not surprised this is closing, I just have to decide if the two coasters I missed (due to closures) are worth the hike to ride.
Also, I’m not sure what possessed Six Flags to name the parks Six Flags America, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Great Adventure, etc but I’m glad there will be a little less confusion now.
Same thing that makes them reuse the name Goliath everywhere:
“We paid for that name, we’re going to USE that name!”
I just wish they used the same name with the same type of coaster/ride. When I tell someone I’ve ridden “Batman the Ride” and they have too, we should have a similar experience
Why?
Probably because it sucks lol. Source: me
Still pissed about this. SFA is honestly a great park… It wasn’t the best and it certainly had problems but nearly every time I was there except for maybe once it was a pleasant experience and I genuinely love the collection the park has. They’ve also put a lot of TLC into the park the last 5 years or so.
I hope the Wild One can get a new home. I might need to get myself up there this summer for the credit.
