Barry, we're planning to go to 6 Flags Great ADVENTURE, in NJ after our Dorney stop on the Barb-Con trip. It's a really good park, a lot of coasters, including:
Medusa (Similar to Kraken)
Nitro (245 ft hypercoaster)
Batman the Ride (inverted)
Batman & Robin, the Chiller (goes forward & back)
Great American Scream Machine (steel, looping)
A racing woodie (I forgot the name
)
a good mine train coaster
and a few others I just can't remember right now.
They also have a drive thru animal safari which was included in our season passes last year.
The babboons were incredible!
We will go to Dorney after breakfast at Barb's on Sunday, spend Monday at Dorney, then move on to Great Adventure on Tuesday. We will go there Tues and Wed, then probably head for home.
As far as 6 Flags America in Annapolis, we've only been there once. It has a Superman hypercoaster, but we like the one in New England better. It also has X-Flight, like the one in Ohio, but it was down on the day we were there so we didn't get to ride it.
Roar is a good woodie, there was at least one other woodie. Two face is a boomerang-style coaster with seats facing both ways, and Riddlers Revenge is a looping steel coaster.
My personal opinion is that we like Great Adventure in NJ better, but they're both good parks.
If you're going to spend more than 3 days in 6 Flags parks, their season pass is the way to go. You can buy it from Worlds of Adventure in Ohio right now for $99 (I think), and use it in all the other 6 flags parks.
You could combine all these parks, and make a week's trip out of it, and avoid Sat in a park!
Fri or Sat - fly in, go to Barb's
Sat - Barb's
Sun - breakfast at Barb's, Dorney
Mon - Dorney
Tues & Wed - Great Adventure (NJ)
Thurs & Fri - Great America (Annapolis)
Sat - go home
See, now I'm planning
your trip!
Guess that maintains my status as a commando!
Seriously, you or anyone else who wants to ride some coasters, please join us!
