The Firebird rollercoaster at Six Flags America, Upper Marlboro, MD

With the change to a floorless coaster Apocalypse became Firebird and I was really looking forward to giving it one final ride.

As you can see with each photo of Firebird without riders it was having issues.  All day long they would test it, get a couple of trainloads of riders on it, and then it would break down again.  Each time it opened we reserved a ride on our flash passes and when we got to it there'd be another breakdown. We kept trying to score a ride but it was not to be.

On my last visit I was impressed with the Capital Railway.  Yes, it is just a train ride but it takes you way out to the back of the park where Six Flags America's picnic grove is.

With the coasters going down due to storms moving into the area we tried to get one more ride before saying goodbye but mother nature decided to end our day at Six Flags America a little sooner.

So that's it.  No more Six Flags America for us.  Yes it wasn't a top tier park but it deserved to go out better than it did.

Thank you Six Flags America.  Goodbye.
