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.
I argree
I know
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
Agree! I've been going since it opened. Love this park!
My home park to and I hate Illinois but love this park very glad it’s my home park and I have a very good feeling anout them adding the first axis coaster next year because it fits the park to well and it’s time for them to get a new coaster after the other premier parks just did really hope I’m right
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
agreed in fill/ we suffer from two many clones so we dont get as much coverages as we should but it is great if you are willing to come over.
I think we need less clones and newer coasters and sorry but at least six flags great America keeps there hometown square section original
SAME GOING NEST WEEEK SO AHPPY
i think great America should add a RMC hybrid if they could or wanted to
which great america?
the thing i love about sfmm is that everybody always has a different top 3 cuz the lineup is so solid. like youll always see x2 and twisted colossus, but then viper is in mine, some people will have wcr, tatsu, full throttle, apolocalypse. like there really is something for every type of enthusiast.
Don't forget about the only good stand up coaster in the country
@@Lloyd00
Rip vortex
@@Lloyd00 You're forgetting about Georgia Scorcher.
Tatsu is my all time favorite coaster. And I love riddler and Batman and viper and colossus and... What a great park. And the water park is awesome too
Yeah my top 3 is X2, Tatsu, Twisted Colossus but my friend's top 3 is X2, West Coast Racers, Apocalypse. Everyone i talk to has a different top 3. I know someone whose top three is WCR, Goliath, Riddler and someone else whose top 3 is Viper, Batman, and Full Throttle.
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.
My home six flags too!!! Buuuut I’d say it’s not as well up kept and food services really need work…
I was really disappointed when I went there. Just doesn’t compare to Great America
Great America is better🥱🥱🥱
I live 30 mins away, and is the only park I've been too and yes, the food lines do need to be upgraded.
@@AidanNoBrakes I think in general the parks upkeep is very lacking… there are areas that feel like they get much more attention than others… scream one of my favorite rides in the park is also horrifically located…. Who came up with that idea
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.
:(
Great america also has a good layout, it’s a big loop with no dead ends. It’s easy to navigate and impossible to get lost. Just look up and follow the rides lift hill😂
❤ I’m glad so many people are finally discovering great America. For so long no one ever talked about now everyone ranks it number one. Well you ranked it number 2 but I like that you recognized that even though they don’t have a kingda ka or anyone 300 height intamin. They have probably a lineup that really mirrors a cedar point. The place is less crowded but always fun and the atmosphere is so great. So bravo
Mirrors Cedar Point’s lineup? How so? 🤔
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.
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.
True, when i did my list of most intense elements half of it was at SFOT
Haha I did notice that. My favorite coaster there is STILL Titan. My home park is the same and I really love the wind in your face and the positive G's I've experienced over the years. Thought Titan had the strongest G's, though I never heard of Intimidator 305 until this channel and... oh... GOD HOW POWERFUL IS SHE!?
The only real airtime focused ride looks to be New Texas Giant
@@solarwinds5114 and even that is stretching it a bit...
@@Sugerloadedgirl789 I love positive G's. I've ridden Intimidator 305 & Titan. Titan's 2nd helix lasts longer, but I305 easily has the stronger G's.
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)
I love Six Flags America tbh. It's so lazy that it comes around to be charming again.
Although it is my least favorite Six Flags park, I think America is not that bad. But I’m the kind of person to take things for what they’re worth. The ops might be slower, but every time I’ve been there they are so incredibly welcoming and friendly and engaging.
i love that you mentioned the Whizzer! it was one of my favorites when i was a kid and i was still too scared to go on the big coasters lol. it's a nostalgic hit for me. it's not got a lot of thrills but it's a good comfort coaster.
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.
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.
5 is a perfect ranking for Six Flags New England. Absolutely Nailed it
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.
Same! Six Flags Over Georgia is my home park too and I love it a lot.
Fiesta Texas is probably the most beautiful park I’ve ever visited. The landscaping is elite.
Now that you've been to every cedar fair park you should take each park's best coaster and rank them
Yes and six flags too!
Yes
it would be x2 at the number 1 spot
X2 is from sfmm
@@joshsgaming8995 i knkw
Living about 7 minutes away from Fiesta Texas has been such a blessing. Going on random Tuesdays during the summer and being able to marathon Rattler and Superman krypton is 👌🏻
I'm so goddamn jealous, I live in Houston but I would kill to be able to head to Fiesta anytime I could
Lol im about to go and its a tuesday, will i see you there?
@@josephgonzo no, but I’m curious how the crowd was lol, I moved to atx so it’s been a while but been wanting to visit the park sometime this summer
I say Six Flags St Louis is underrated - and I personally believe that all their coasters are good rides, and I do mean ALL of them, and I think they have the best (or 2nd best) clone of all the cloned rides.
yesssssss it’s my home park
SPOT ON! Love Six Flags Magic Mountain and have going there for nearly 50 years. And great recognition of X2, the only coaster that I've ever been on that scares me. Well done.
I'm glad you put my home park, Discvoery Kingdom in the top 10. Medusa is my FAVORITE ride. It deserves more praise than it gets.
My home park is SFNE. I feel really lucky to actually have a pretty decent Six Flags park as my home park. You are right about Superman and Wicked Cyclone being amazing
Same here, I live in Texas now but born and raised in Massachusetts. Been to SFNE probably 25 times over the years and it's always great fun.
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!
St. Louis is very lacking. It's my home park and I do have lots of good memories there but it could use a sprucing up
I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate the effort that you put into making this.. I live in Buffalo so Darien Lake is the only one i’ve been to, and yeah I can completely validate you putting that at #9 😂 Used to be a much cleaner place, but has recently been pretty trashed and they could definitely do more.. Anyway thanks for the amazing content!
FIESTA TEXAS! I remember when it was built and back then the Rattler used to be the world's fastest and tallest wooden coaster. I don't remember when Six Flags took it over but I was glad to see they didn't really mess with or change most of the park but instead just added some rides
I’ll take #6 for my home park. I’ve never been to any other Six flags only over Georgia and I probably never will go to any other but I expected over Georgia to be at this rank. I appreciate this and I’m glad you enjoyed your visits! Out of the 30+ times I’ve been in my life I’ve had all different kinds of experiences but it’s my home and I love it!
You’ve done Cedar Fair and Six Flags, now I think you should do your top 10 (or however many there are) independent parks. You know, stuff like Holiday World, Lagoon, Adventureland, you know, those guys.
That would be a good idea, maybe early 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)
Discovery kingdom lowkey underrated and im planning to go 2 great america soon
Just as I did with the Cedar Fair video, this is my list, but with La Ronde and Mexico added for posterity.
15. La Ronde
14. America
13. Frontier City
12. The Great Escape
11. Over Georgia
10. St. Louis
9. Darien Lake
8. Over Texas
7. New England
6. Mexico
5. Discovery Kingdom
4. Great America
3. Magic Mountain
2. Fiesta Texas
1. Great Adventure
La Ronde and America below Frontier City?
Your number 1 a cap🧢
Why is La Ronde so low?
Frontier City was my home park growing up! It was really fun as a teen. You hit the nail on the head for Six Flags America…not getting much love recently, but so much fun and not crowded.
Frontier city probably has the same coaster collection now as then
"The true X factor in the battle of the six flags parks" over a shot of Goliath made me spit up my drink.
A little misdirection there to mess with yall lol
12:30 "But there is one thing Magic Mountain has that no other park has an answer for..." *cuts to Goliath*
That bait and switch had me laughing haha
Im glad some people picked up on that sleight of hand
I’ve been at all the top 5 and a few others and I have to say that Six Flags St. Louis is my favorite. It was my childhood home park and when I go to other parks I just wish I was there. It’s definitely the prettiest of the parks and has a beautiful landscape
Can't help but feel nostalgic over it. It's still my home park but it does give me major nostalgia.
I was somehow both surprised and not surprised to see Magic Mountain at the top. I was surprised because I know that in the past you've been so quick to praise Great America and Great Adventure over Magic Mountain. 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. Whatever the case, I'm glad to see we're at the top. Magic Mountain misses you, Chris. Come back and visit real soon.
I'll try to get back there in February for sure
He likes to dump on his old home. I should start keeping a tally for every time he roasts Scream! 🤣
Thank you for this video! Very well done and helps me to prioritize future trip planning. I have been to three parks in the chain; Magic Mountain, Darien Lake, and La Ronde and I enjoyed all three.
These uploads always make my day :)
I really wish you could've spent more time at SFA this year. They've been improving at an incredible rate the past few years, and you can really see what the new park president (who has experience in the SeaWorld chain) has done for the park. I even preferred my visits this year to SFA over SFSL
I know, I was unbelievably rushed at the end of my trip, with bad traffic that day and getting a late start after being up way too late doing the Jersey boardwalks, all we did that day was ride Firebird and get to Kings Dominion too late to ride anything
@@AirtimeThrills Yeah he’s right he need to get back to Six Flags America
The new park president has also hinted at an RMC roar within the next few years in a video so if that happens, I think it’s worth giving it a second chance. As much as the park has been improving recently, the lack of new coasters still brings it down and so I would be excited to finally see something new
Though I haven't been in some time, Great Adventure will always be my 'home' themepark, and will always have a special place in my heart because of it.
American Thunder and Mr. Freeze are the best coasters at sfstl. Used to love the Boss, I hope it gets the RMC treatment someday.
Im happy to see SFGA finally getting what it deserves, i live like 5 minutes away from great america and man does it have solid rides, my favorites are raging bull and Goliath
Well at least six flags great escape made the list 😂. As a season pass holder, the changes of the park throughout the years has been interesting. Tons of memories
This is great!! Very inspirational to my bucketlist... I love Six Flags Great American and Magic Mountain...I can't wait to watch your cedar videos...cool thanks for taking the time to ride the rides...💕
wow what a suprise
X2 at the top once again!
Fiesta Texas is my favorite for the elite top 2, supporting cast, and atmosphere. Magic Mountain is narrowly behind it for me.
Home park is Great Adventure for me. Going to have to try to hit Fiesta or Magic Mountain this summer! Thanks for the reviews!
I went to six flags for the first time this weekend and I had such a blast. I went to the one in St. Louis and those rollercoasters were more intense than anything I’d ever ridden. While scary, it truly was awesome. I definitely will try to hit more
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.
Six flags new england IS SO OLD. I remember going as a kid and it looks pretty much the same. Good for nostalgia but fuck nostalgia gimme a new ride you fucks
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.
Great America is RARELY busy when I go 🤷🏻♂️
Another classic from airtime thrills 🔥
Video suggestion: A quote you always say,"I would love to have this at my home park."
How about you make a video where you take out and replace coasters at SFMM.
Example: Replace Goliath with a B&M Hyper
That’s a good idea
@@NortheasternP.T.S. Thank you
@@randomjordanpoolefan7265 no problem
As long as there are some ground rules like you can’t replace a family coaster with a B&M giga.
@@eriklakeland3857 Yay it has to be within the ballpark of reality
St Louis is my home park. Back seat ride of freeze is the best! There are many rumors of us getting an RMC. There is 2 spots in the park where they have started marking land
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
magic mountain is my childhood park and still my home-ish park (knott's berry farm is 2x closer) so I'm so glad i live in California and am excited for the new 2022 coaster and the tatsu repaint
They were actually gonna make American Eagle a super fast coaster but Gurnee made laws prohibiting them building anything in Eagle’s place, so Maxx Force is the makeup coaster
Oh really; Gurnee made them make sure of anything different?
@@davegriffin5988 yeah, so unfortunately American Eagle will probably be ran into the ground before it’s taken down
I wonder if they plan on refurbishing the ride more. Red cars are being fixed now like blue
Just went to Six flags STL yesterday, been going my whole life. As much as i absolutely love going and spending the day with my family i will say theres quite a few rides that are really beginning to beat you up during the ride. The boss and the ninja in specific. brain rattling, still fun though.
I was worried you were going to destroy Six Flags St. Louis, luckily you weren't too harsh on my beloved home park. I've loved it ever since I was a kid, and I know we are lacking anything new and exciting but it's still a fun park. Mr. Freeze and the Batman are so much fun
“It’s big but needs some help” and “it’s big but pretty pointless”. The cat keeps meowing cos he thinks you’re talking about him.
Just recently moved to San Antonio and I'm proud of the ranking fiesta Texas San Antonio received even though I came from Chicago fiesta Texas is still ranked pretty high.
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.
WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?
I personally love six flags St. Louis. Since this video, they did add catwomans whip and this year they are installing the joker. Since this is my home six flags, I’m guess I’m partial to it. Still love the ninja and the screaming eagle. Batman is amazing and smooth and you can’t go wrong with Mr. Freeze!!!
This made me realize how much I take six flags fiesta Texas for granted with it being my home park nowadays. I used to live in SoCal and magic mountain just set such a high standard
I’ve heard that SFOT new President is really doing a facelift to the park and many people are very happy with him!
I hope that's true! It certainly doesn't seem like anyone else in the company has been advocating hard for the OG and 4th busiest park in the whole chain.
@@nicholasrainone1647 If you go to the Amusement Source and JB Thrills YT channels they have covered a lot of the updated things going on lately.
Apparently the new park president is from Fiesta Texas park.
Bro you just made my day by ranking my home park #2. I appreciate it 🙏
Bro, THANK YOU for giving Magic Mountain the respect it deserves!
The way you describe your home park reminds me of Elitch Gardens. I remember going there when it was owned by Six flags. It’s always been an extremely mediocre park but I have such a soft spot for it.
I some reason had a feeling that Great Adventure was no longer your favorite Six Flags park but yeah I agree with your opinion.
Spot on. It's nice to know that outside of my hometown six flags (Great Adventure), they don't have locker policies that strict. It's ridiculous how strict it is.
Ahhh Discovery Kingdom. My home park and my first job. Sad it's this low but I more or less agree, although that may be bias from the horrible working experience.
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.
Pretty spot-on, my man!! Love the videos. Thank you
I’m so glad six flags darian lake got ranked so high I live like 3 minutes away and used to work there
Hey the ninja is one of St. Louis’s best rides I’m glad it’s still up
Awesome video! Love the placement of Great America
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.
…steel vengeance? ….velocicoaster?
@@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.
@@zacg_ Oh…yeah, I thought you were talking about general quality/experience. Usually when people say nothing compares to something else, they mean that it’s so good that nothing else even compares. I totally agree with what you meant though, X2 is really unique.
Happy to see my home park at number 2 SFGA.I Was 11 when batman the ride opened and now I get to see my kids smiles on coasters which is priceless.
Since everybody is talking about their home parks, mine is discovery kingdom and i definetly think it deserves the ranking. After a recent trip of mine to magic mountain, the coasters here just are really hard to beat. Joker is fun though, and it doesn't give my leg pain like twisted collussus even if it was fun leg pain.
Great America is my home park, and the only SF park ive been to. But GA is so fun and I really feel like there's so many different rides for every rider type and I just have a blast whenever I go. Goliath is a must ride imo
Honestly? Fiesta Texas is #1 for me. I’m glad six flags is going all in on it.
Yeah love six flags fiesta Texas my home park
Thanks for showing love to Great America, my home park and always favorite in the world!
Darien lake has been my home park for so long now and I love that you are giving it some respect!
I pretty much agree with you and thank you for the kind word about Darien Lake, which was my childhood home park (I grew up outside of Buffalo)
I actually really liked St Louis. It’s got a nice atmosphere and charm to it and I had a super fun time. And this was during Holiday In The Park, which means Boss and Screamin Eagle weren’t even open. I think I would enjoy it more than SFOG and SFOT if those 2 rides were open
When Dr. Diabolical Cliffhanger opens in Six Flags Fiesta Texas, it might deserve a top 3 spot - topping Great Adventure. Don't forget, it has a pretty decent water park attached to it, which has great rides too, like Thunder Rapids.
Interesting note about Six Flags Over Texas, They moved the corporate office to right across the street! It's part of the old Texas Rangers ball park now
been looking for this vid for a while, it was a good one. :)
Oh hi
I work at Six Flags Great Adventure at Guest Relations and it's no wonder why we're overly cautious about loose articles.
I got several people telling me at the GR booth that lost their phone on the Jersey Devil coaster (more than i can count!) and what's worse is that they have to scan a QR code if they want to be contacted if their phone is ever found.
If you get yelled at by the ride people to put your stuff in a locker, please listen to them. Or else you'll end up learning the hard way on what happens.
*You think it's safe in your pocket but the ride ALWAYS wins.*
With SFGA as my home park... I hardcore agree. Never been to Great America but I thought Magic Mountain wiped the floor with my stomping grounds. Especially with El Toro down.
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
My home park is Six Flags over GA. I'm going to Magic Mountian in July. And I can't wait. Seems so fun
As someone who lives in California, I really love Six Flags Magic Mountain. I haven’t been there in a while, but I’m hoping to be one of the first people to ride Wonder Woman. It sounds like it’ll really blow your mind.
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.
I was watching this thinking, “OK, I’d put St. Louis above Darien, but I’m agreeing totally with everything else.” But then you hit number three and my jaw dropped. For me Magic Mountain at one and Great Adventure at two is a no-brainer, absolute lock. Then I’d probably put Fiesta at three and Great America at four, but those two are close.
Thanks for the vid.
If you put Fiesta 3 I don't think my #4 should have been that shocking for you
@@AirtimeThrills Oops! I meant your number three shocked me, where you placed SFGAdv.
St Louis ops are SO BAD though. Ive seen them turn a station wait on mr freeze into a 40 minute adventure
I’d say it’s close between Great Adventure and Great America but objectively Great America is probably a little better. Been to both and I have to say great America has more to offer and the atmosphere and policies at Great America are superior
10:35 dayum nice airtime
Your assessment of the GASM in Georgia is spot on 😆😭
My personal favorite is Six Flags Magic Mountain followed by Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags New England, Six Flags America and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I know that last park has a shocking placement but my experience in March of 2013 wasn't thar great but I hope that will change after a revisit in the coming years. And I'll be visiting Six Flags Over Georgia next summer so that will also be very exciting.
It has gotten a lot better hope you revisit fiesta texas
@@jrjr3765 I promise you I will. I just don't know when.
How was Georgia? It’s my home park so I personally love it.
If you really want to get technical. Fiesta Texas is definitely top 3 material.
Atmosphere, over the top theming, shows, well rounded coasters and rides for everyone. (Not just pleasing coaster enthusiasts.)
Fiesta Texas is pretty much the Busch Garden of Six Flags. It doesn’t have the animals, but the vibe itself. 100%
Just saying.
Finally seeing Great America getting respect! Its probably one of my favorites in all of the six flags in Gurnee Illinois and I'm so happy its my home state
I’m glad you put my home park at number 2! Great America is so much fun every time I visit, and I don’t go often!
every person who’s local park is six flags great america:
oh we’re not last??
WE MADE IT TO TOP 5?
TOP 3?!
WE MADE IT TO *NUMBER 2*?!?
atleast these were my reactions as a person with great america as their local six flags. so glad to finally see six flags great america getting the love it deserves. :)
I love great America as it's my home park and i would also solidly put it at number 2. I feel the same way in that X2 is so good so insane that it really is the biggest difference maker. I do think great America's next addition will put it over the top
Great America doesn't build coasters that last more than 30 seconds
SFOG’s operations can sometimes be screwed whenever a storm comes and passes by. I believe that is how I likely knew about it until I knew about it during my last visit in 2018.
Just watched two ranking videos and one of them was great amercia number 1 and this one number 2, Finnaly great to see the home park getting some recognition, raging bull, X-flight and Superman are my favorite rides great to see it
