The Roar Rollercoaster At Six Flags America, Largo, MD

Roar was added to Six Flags America in 1998 and was built and designed by Great Coasters International or otherwise known as GCI. GCI's designs are reminiscent of the classic coasters of the 1920's with their spiral dips and out of control feeling.

Roar again was a pretty good coaster and I would really like it unfortunately it was way too rough just like The Wild One. Six Flags America needs to invest in their wood coasters because they have a pair of great rides. The reason I know the roughness is due to inadequate care is because part of Roar is covered by a half tunnel (roof but no sides) that keeps the track from the elements and that part was wonderfully smooth unlike the rest of the ride. Heck if you're not going to put the money into keeping the coaster in tip top form at least put a roof over the ride so the rest of it is as smooth as that section.

Six Flags America has to have the most water rides of any park in the chain. There's this rapids ride, the Typhoon Sea Coaster, Penguin's Blizzard River and the Shipwreck Falls chute-the-chutes. About the only thing they don't have is a log flume.
