In late , Six Flags announced that it would take over operations of Magic Waters, which has been operating since The long-lived water park, while well-loved by the surrounding community, is pretty small and not yet branded as a Six Flags destination, which is why it only earns an honorable mention on our list. Book Now. However, due to its locality and focus on the young ones, as well as the lack of larger coasters, it is tied with Splashtown.
While this family-friendly park has several interesting waterslides, they all end up being fairly generic and not the least enthralling for most adults. In early , the park was rebranded from Waterworld California to Hurricane Harbor Concord, and with the new name came a new experience: Splashwater Island, an interactive playground.
However, the overall vibe is a bit different from the larger Six Flags parks. Frontier City boasts a Western theme. Even coasters or rides that you might find in other parks feature a little extra twang. White Water Bay provides a familiar mix of soaking rides and family-friendly play areas. Book Now for White Water Bay. Book Now for Frontier City. Sounds scary, and it is, but it's also fun. The one negative about Nitro is that it looks out over the Six Flags' parking lot and a strange construction site.
The first drop caught me off guard because I was busy searching for my car. I'd advise looking forward and holding on tight. Claire: Bizarro is a floorless roller-coaster with plenty of twists. It was exciting, ranking in my top three, along with Nitro and Batman. I rode with some cool strangers on this one again because Bethany had taken a break after throwing up after Green Lantern. They advised that I find better friends to actually ride the coasters with me. There are plenty of tight turns and small drops that you can't see coming, but overall, this ride was forgettable in comparison to all the steel roller-coasters.
But if you're looking for a breather in the middle of the day when it gets hot out, Skull Mountain is a great pick because it's completely indoors.
Claire: If you've ever been on the classic "mousetrap" ride — a small roller-coaster on which riders whip around a squiggly track in four-person-sized carts — featured at parks such as Hersheypark, Dorney, and Jersey Shore boardwalks, this is pretty similar. The only difference is that the Dark Knight is in a dimly lit enclosure rather than outdoors, making the iconic jolts and turns all the more, well, jolty.
I would definitely not recommend this to anyone who is prone to whiplash or has a fear of the dark. The ride itself wasn't terrifying, however, because there were no upside-down loops or extreme vertical drops.
Claire: This one was so funny I forgot to laugh. And, I can honestly say I wouldn't do it again. Not only does it start out with a slow, degree pulse to the peak, it also has the audacity to launch you down steep drops while your body somersaults around an axle of the roller-coaster car.
Side note: this coaster runs on two tracks — the green track and the purple track. The operator recommended I go on the green because it "usually has more spins," and, unable to swallow my pride, I obliged. Turns out, the extra spins were the last thing I was looking for. I was so disoriented after riding the Joker that I almost went into shock in fear that it would start up again.
But, hey, don't let me deter you from trying it out yourself. Claire: OK, Six Flags, I'll be honest, the most noise your big reveal got out of me was a slight giggle — when I realized my shoelace was untied. Cyborg, Six Flag's newest thrill ride, isn't your traditional "loop-de-loop" coaster.
Rather than running along a track, Cyborg levitates above a platform and then spins and twirls through the air. Without a track, the drops and flips are unexpected — a slight thrill factor. Granted, I had already ridden multiple other coasters, and it was opening day, so the park may not have wanted guests puking off the bat — possibly a wise idea.
