The movie "Wild West" called and they want their steam powered robotic scorpion back.

What's frustrating about Six Flags America is you have areas that are devoid of any theming like Gotham City and then you walk into Steamtown and there is theming everywhere. With a little creativity, name changes, some paint, and lots of copper piping to fit the steampunk theme this makeover probably didn't cost tons but it looked great.

The reason for the makeover of Coyote Creek to Steamtown was Six Flags America's final addition: Steam Whirler.

The Steam Whirler is a wonderfully themed NubulaZ ride from Zamperla.

Travis, being a fan of flat rides decided to take Steam Whirler for a ride. It sends you up and over in a circle while the entire ride rotates. As it didn't go too fast I am a little tempted to give one of these a try. With this ride being practically brand new the chances are high this will end up at another park at some point.

What's frustrating is if Six Flags threw this level of theming to the entirety of Six Flags America when they dropped four coasters on the park in four years after turning it into a Six Flags Park maybe they could have been real competition to Kings Dominion and made enough to not get axed. Unfortunately it seems like Six Flags interest in doing anything with this property was sporadic at best.
