The Wild One Rollercoaster at Six Flags America, Upper Marlboro, MD

The Wild One if a classic out and back coaster from the master.

The Wild One sends you out flying over airtime filled hills before turning you around a hundred and eighty degrees heading back where you came over more airtime filled hills.

The Wild One ends with a really wicked helix that sends you slamming into the side of the car.

Six Flags America was the second home for The Wild One after Paragon Park closed in 1985. It was a miracle that this classic was saved back then and it would be an even bigger miracle if it was saved again.

As we headed though the gates at opening our hopes were that our day at Six Flags America would be a joyous celebration of the parks existence but it really wasn't. Looking around you could see places where rides have been removed. Every coaster with the exception of Ragin Cajun was running a single train despite decent crowds. Guests were treating the park like crap like at the restaurants where people would ask for a glass for water and then stand by the soda machines filling up with everything but water before chucking the cups on the ground with none of the employees caring at all. The ride operator at The Wild One summed it up pretty well when I asked how their day was going.

"This job sucks"

We were attending a funeral.
