Wild One Coaster Review
Six Flags America in Mitchellville, MDOne of Six Flags' less popular parks, Six Flags America is a bit under the radar to begin with. Ride fans may be familiar with the park's hypercoaster, Superman: Ride of Steel and perhaps Batwing, one of the earliest flying coasters. Most would be hard pressed to identify The Wild One, however. And few of those diehards who are familiar with the classic wooden coaster know about its storied past.
Dating back to 1917, the ride originally circled along one side of Paragon Park in Hull, MA, south of Boston, where it was known simply as the Giant Coaster. When the seaside park closed in 1985, the Maryland park saved it from the wrecking ball. Despite its vintage, the woodie remains surprisingly potent, even by modern thrill machine standards.
