This thrilling coaster from world-renowned Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard will whisk you through a nearly ten-story drop, dual inversions, a twisted airtime hill and a figure-eight finale. State of the art floorless coaster trains means there's nothing below your feet but the track!
FIREBIRD opens to the public May 17, 2019.
Six Flags America, DC's Thrill Capital, is located just outside of Washington DC.

Cause baby you’re a firebird

Yea that song is perfect for this roller coaster
Dude i can not with this
The five happens
I mean fire
SFA has become the hand me down coaster capital of the six flags chain.
They have gotten two hand me downs. Not that bad. Both rides they got also aren’t bad rides so it really doesn’t matter.
@@ThemeParkOverLoadChannel we really need to see roar get the RMC treatment, or have it torn down. That thing hurts my head.
Yeah, but it was born at SFGA.
Make Six Flags America, Great again. ;-)
@@idkmanlol_osu no, they ruined one roar into one of the easily worst RMC's as it is-CCI's and GCI's don't need to be rmced. Six Flags America needs a raptor, either the wonder woman/railblazer model or the original advertisement (so one not built yet) model.
Bruh chill it’s still a six flags park don’t act crazy besides roar night get a rmc treatment just like the joker
Apocalypse has left the chat
I actually liked apocalypse
Gold Ore Coasterguy lol it’s the same ride😂
*Apocalypse theming has left the chat
Rip apocalypse. I was never tall enough to go on it and once I was, it was replaced by firebird
F
At 1:20, it looks like the ride was originally designed to have a mid course brake run to allow 3 train operations, but it has only ever operated with 2 trains as Iron Wolf, Apocalypse, and Firebird, so the MCBR was never added. The final brake run looks to have two waiting blocks, which would allow 3 train operations with the MCBR, but given the short ride length and slow dispatches of stand up coasters, there would be no benefit to 3 train operations since the 3rd train would always stack.
I was afraid of rollarcoasters but I was basically peer pressured into riding it by a few of my friends and I was crying right until the point of the first drop. Best experience ever. You can’t even feel the drops so if it’s the drop you worry about don’t sweat it. This was when corona was just starting so no one was in the park so me and my friends rode the ride 6-7 times without having to gets in line at all
B&M is an AMAZING company to use when it comes to your first coaster. They don't have a bad ride, like seriously. Even this one being their first ever coaster is STILL great. My first coaster was Great Bear at Hersheypark, and I immediately fell in love with the company and coasters in general.
@@Zatoka.no, this coaster is ass lmfao
@@WCfanboy Roughness doesn't ruin a coaster for me, so I was able to enjoy it. I'll probably be less tolerant as I get older, though. That's sadly just part of life, lol.
SAME! I was also peer pressured and I had a fear of roller coasters and it was the best ride I’ve ever done
SAME HERE

FINALLY, AN OFFICIAL POV FROM THIS PARK😀
IKR. About freakin' time!!
Wow lel
You were just talking about this ride so I searched it up and you’re here
nice and you hate this ride right augie?
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 100%
Stand up coaster: *Exists*
Amusement Parks: No
This ride has a great twister layout and I can always appreciate a B&M without a midcourse brake run
Nothing great about this coaster. Possibly the worst b&m in existence.
@@lastone032085 and the first B&m in existence
@@lastone032085 As someone else said, B&M had to get started somewhere.
@@Nytalite true. However, this is not a ride native to SFA and it was a known quantity how bad it was. In that light it's kind of an insult that it's still around considering the stacked parks in the chain. Scream or even a floorless converted Riddler's Revenge would have been far superior hand me downs.
If i come off as bitter, i am. SFA sucks.
@@lastone032085 Aww, nice opinion! ☺️☺️ Next time try not to be wrong. 🤪✌🏻
I never knew that a roller coaster was so good at pinball!
I think the corkscrew scored 200 million alone
It feels like it's more faster than apocalypse whenever it was around
I miss Iron Wolf, but this is a better choice of train. Weird to see the track without all the overgrown trees.

FfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffFfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
I was trying to send like 10x of this but RUclips couldn't handle it
I hope this catches on in the chain, the floorless conversion, or non-stand up in general. You can just see that the ride is at least 50% smoother even on an older B&M where the craft wasn't quite there for such smooth transitions (that wierd not actually a break straight section for instance). Aside from that, I'm glad Six Flags America now has a *good*(keyword: good not great like most but still fun and a solid ride). Also a piece of history, the first made without contracting out or half the team+intamin, etc. I think an RMC raptor either the basic model or a the third model RMC designed we may or may not have seen yet (there is one not seen, then one was shown in an advertisement video originally). They don't need to RMC Roar, it's awesome, but why it doesn't run MF GCI trains is dumb. This place has lots of potentional, I like that it isn't super packed and whatnot but it has deserved better for many years.
My man, this is not a good B&M. This was B&M's first ever coaster and it's really obvious. The first order of business for Six Flags America is to give Roar the RMC treatment.
@@shchorss "not good" because it's small and not newer doesn't make it a better/worse ride than others. Especially not the stand-ups. No reason to ruin Roar, GCI can retrack it with titan track in some places and it'll be just fine. A raptor or also work on mind eraser (new trains, reprofiling) is the best way to go towards reworking/renovation and a brand new coaster anyday.
Six Flags America already had Superman: Ride of Steel. That is a good ride, in spite of the one-train ops.
@@me-myself-i787 where did anyone mention that coaster though?
firebird was a needed starting point for B&M, so they could make the gigas of today.
Amazed this is so smooth and when it was Iron Wolf from Six Flags Great America... talk about a headache.
but i miss iron wolf :(
Hands down best coster
About to watch a POV for all B&M roller coasters (this thing is like 107 videos long). I'm doing it so I have inspiration and a clear mind for a realistic coaster layout for when I build a park inspired off of Geauga Lake. Wish me luck!
That would be so awesome to have geauga lake back
Apocalypse will be missed r.i.p
I am confused how they're motivated enough to change the trains on this coaster but not replace the PTC trains on Roar with Millennium Flyer trains, or the trains on Mind Eraser with the ones with the comfortable restraints like T3 at Kentucky Kingdom or Fly the Great Nor' Easter at Morey's Piers. And don't tell me they got rid of the airplane with the fire effect. What other theming from Apocalypse did they remove?
Mitchell Ries
This was mostly changed because of how this rollercoaster was the first B&M coaster as their original intent was to scrap it. Just me guess.
@@rjsmc6179 it's because six flags is too cheap to give this park a brand new coaster that's why.
Six flags should just sell this park to a chain that will actually invest in new attractions and not just hand me downs. I stopped getting season passes for this park after the 07 season when instead of getting a coaster they chose to put in yet another waterpark attraction for 08 and haven't returned there since.
Now Kings dominion appears to be following that same trend so it looks like I'll be going to Busch gardens Williamsburg from now on instead.
@@rjsmc6179 also GCI claims that by sending the ptc trains out to ptc for annual rehab violates their warranty. Ummm the millennium flyer train design WASN'T even available when Roar was built in 98. They only became available when Roar west was built in 99.
Well far as the motivation a B&M coaster has more market value than a vekoma SLC or a wooden coaster going probably 95% or more unchanged with different trains. That and Roar is oddly comfortable, but they really should stop being cheap and just beat Millennium Flyer trains on Roar. What did they do with the ones they ran on the used to be roar now destroyed into the worst RMC joker anyway? I can't see much motivation to care about the SLC, the only one they did anything too was the one at Six Flags New England so far, and, they might do it in the near future here, but if this was a "pick one" thing, they went for the one that'll attract people far more.
After all, a B&M floorless conversion may not solve everything, but standing up was pretty horrible pain wise.
"Fixing" an SLC is still not exactly too great, and while I acknowledge I am expressing my own opinion, tbh I don't think any Vekoma SLC is re-ride-able no matter what kind of trains or "re-profiling" etc they do (also not hating on vekoma I actually like boomerangs and custom loopers they have done, etc.)
OneAndOnlySound I like that explanation, but in the end we can both agree that the Millennium Flyer trains would be a better fit for Roar. And they should be motivated to changing the restraints on the Mind Eraser because a comfortable ride becomes a popular ride. After all, parks don't want to be known for having rough rides.
Looks like a fun family coaster.
No it’s not😂
Family coaster??
@@MrGoldMan yes😭 I felt sick after tho
Is this good for a person with a fear of coasters? Im going to six flags america tomorrow and might try to get on one
Family? 😳💀
THAT WAS THE OLD APOCALYPSO
This is actually my favorite ride
i went on this yesterday and it was actually pretty fun
The first time I went on this my phone fell off in the chain lift. It was still fun though
Why did you bring it on lmao
Oooff Lol it was in my pocket cause I didn’t want it to get stolen from the shelves on the side of the station, and when I was trying to put it in my sweater pocket it fell through the hole in the seat. Still pretty dumb, but I wasn’t trying to film the ride or anything
That wasn’t the best idea to bring it on with u
First time I went on I got stuck 😃
Watching this video dancing to the Song day before Fourth of July:
This one would’ve been okay but I kept hitting my head, even when I sat with my head back like it said to do. It’s probably my least favorite one there.
That’s what I’ve heard these conversions suck
I rode this 3 days ago and this ride hurt my ears with the overhead restraints and head knocking. Didn’t matter if you ride the front or the back.
this was my first coaster that went upside down that i rode
Same
First coaster with inversions I was on
Seun mørø mine was mind easer this year
Lul Hazard SAME
Honestly, it’s miles better than apocalypse
it’s the same thing
@@jaelyn7138 The flourless element makes it so that dudes can at least mildly enjoy it. Before it was all pain, now it’s just mild rattle
There's a spot for an MCBR but they didn't put one in lol
willboeez same with apocalypse
MCBR?
Sonic XD mid course break run
Literally just a repainted Apocalypse
1:05 and I oop heres a loop
I thought it was going to be a different track set then just the same track as apocalypse but just different color and a different name
They did the same thing at Cedar Point and it got great reviews so that is why SFA decided to do it plus Apocalypse needed an upgrade.
@@ThemeParkOverLoadChannel Rougaru at CP gets horrible reviews wtf are you talking about? It's still a super head banging mediocre ride
It didn’t need the break run....
#BestPacing
No, Hair Raiser has the best pacing on a Floorless coaster. This was second.
The only real difference is new trains and a new paint scheme. I'm surprised they didn't try to update the brakes to magnetic ones.
@Viraan The ride is so short it doesn't need one.
It hits the break run lightly so it doesn’t need a MCBR or trim brakes.
Mid course’s allow for three trains. Firebird runs two trains when it is crowded so usually Friday-Sunday. The only coaster they don’t run two trains on recently is Batwing since they are being a little sensitive with it because it breaks down often.
Say what you want about the smoothness and the layout, but at least they took out the midcourse.
They took out the mid course when they moved it to SFA and turned it into Apocalypse, so that really doesn’t help it’s case
I haven't ridden any stand-ups so far, so it makes me kinda sad to see all of them becoming ordinary floorless coasters. I really hope to get to ride one of those before they are all converted.
Your tedticles are celebrating
Depending on where you live, Green Lantern at Six Flags Great Adventure and Georgia Scorcher at Six Flags Over Georgia are the best you can get without crushing your nuts.
@@quix9556 thanks for the recommendations👍
@@kaiokendo I know these coasters have quite a bad reputation, but they are kinda special so I think I should experience at least one of them, like with the screaming squirrel model.
Green Lantern at six flags great adventure is apparently pretty good
Technically it’s still B&M’s first coaster so that’s cool to know when riding it today
Firebird Coaster Commercial?
I was first in line May 3. Loved this ride!
Racc Hudson is it faster than it looks on the POV?
@@aleclynch7356 it doesn't feel slow riding it. If you're comparing it to purpose-built floorless coasters it might feel that way, but it's well-paced imo
Is it rough?
@@ghostercoaster just as rough as it was before, at least above the shoulders.
@@racchudson2812 thx
I’ve been on this ride and it is amazing
It's terrible.
@@TheKidVenus a year late buddy
I loved this ride when I want on it
B&M: How thin do we want the Supports to be?
B&M: Yes
B&M: How thin do we want the connection between the supports and the track connector to be?
B&M: Hell Yeah absolutly!!!
This is just the remodel of apocalypse
Ok I was scared of this ride but when I went on it I realized I was being a bad my if is not that bad and it is loops not really drops and they go fast so you don’t fell anything really
My favorite roller coaster
Can’t wait to ride
This hurt my head
The only cool thing about stand up coasters is that sit down trains can be eventually retrofitted to them.
Don’t always fix them look at rougarou
I rode this on Monday for the first time and it was actually my first non-wooden roller coaster and loop coaster and let me tell you from my experience. It’s was kinda boring and I kept hitting my head.
try superman ride of steel, it's better. also i can agree about the head thing
MrMario213 that’s why you have to keep your head back lol
I say keep your head out so there is no possible way of hitting it. Superman and Joker are much better rides.
The firebird is closed rn here in maryland (wasnt the fireball it was the fireball the loop thing)
This park is good
at the beginning it was playing firework by katy perry 💀💀💀
This is probably one of the most expensive things six flags has done with theming to expierence
I loveeeee floorless coasters, so finding out theres one here just makes me even more exited to go. Hoping to get here after kings dominion.
Edit: Going here in a few hours. Boutta poop myself from exitement. Turns out I'm going before KD, lmao.
Edit 2: Update, this was my second favorite in the park. Super fun.
It’s fun but warning there is a moment of head banging near the end
Whatever you do, *AVOID MIND ERASER AT ALL COSTS*
@@Merrymarianna61209 If it wasn’t for the head banging I would actually like this ride. The first drop and loop feel pretty good in the back. Not much after that, but I would ride it just to stay away from Roar.
This looks to be the same as Medusa at Discovery Kingdom!
*_CAUSE BABY IM A FIREWORK_*
Anyone remember when 20 years ago six flags drew up a list of proposed attractions with the county zoning board that by 2003 they never followed through on adding? That happened because at the time six flags corporate was too fixated on adding large scale investments only to their new Jersey, California, Dallas and Chicago parks. Cedar fair does the same thing with their two Ohio parks, their Charlotte park and their Canadian park while ignoring the remaining parks in their respective chains.
They still really improved the park and are consistently making solid investments into it. Love Six Flags!
Three years later, Cedar Fair is adding Zambezi Zinger to Worlds of Fun and they're probably going to add a Dive coaster to Dorney Park. And Merlin is adding a Mack Hyper to Thorpe Park and a B&M launched shuttle family wing coaster to Chessington. (Somewhat disappointing; Thorpe Park needs a longer rollercoaster, and Chessington needs a higher-capacity rollercoaster. But still.)
So the coaster I found boring decades ago became a coaster I found boring for about a half dozen years ago and is now a coaster that looks exactly as boring today.
I know and this coaster was used in Richie Rich’s back yard a huge joke
You can see the rattle through the camera
YAY!
Rougarou at cedar point this is just smaller
BRING BACK IRON WOLF CHAIN
Our back roads are scarier than that, lol.😁 Come take a ride with me, for free. (Just kidding.😋)
you can see the rattle
this was my first roller coaster ride and it did not feel good
If i rode this when it was Iron Wolf at six flags Great America as a stand up, can i say that i rode this?
This used to be a decently themed ride. Should have kept the old theme instead of turning it into yet another six flags ride with some blunt ass theme with no actual theming
So it's just Apocalypse but floorless instead of stand up.
It’s definitely more comfortable than apocalypse even though the removal of all the theming is annoying but the colors look great It’s still a meh coaster though
1:20 why is there just random straight track here
🔥 🕊️
RMC ROAR RMC ROAR RMC ROAR please
Keep Roar and get a RMC Raptor instead! Roar is running amazing lately especially during Holiday in the Park.
@@ThemeParkOverLoadChannel no, they already have another great woodie, they need something that focuses on airtime, and roar doesnt
@@ThemeParkOverLoadChannel it would be nice to replace batwing with a raptor though
Wild One is all about airtime and so is Superman. Roar focuses on the laterals and twister sections. It is a great coaster especially in the front and during the colder months. I would want a RMC Raptor that replaces Penguin. Parks CAN have two wooden coasters.
Thrill Source Roar is a very old GCI and it’s absolutely unbearable.
“Floorless Coaster”
Superman, Batman, and Bizzaro.
Why is this ride being marketed as something innovative? Does the riding station not have a floor when you’re about to get on? Because the concept of a floor-less coaster has already been done.
It is marketed as the first floorless coaster in Maryland which is 100% correct. Mind Eraser is considered an inverted model because the track is above you. On Firebird, there is no floor and the track is below your feet.
This needs vest restraints
So yall can replace apocalypse but wont fix the Superman? Ok Six Flags America
Superman is one of the best steel coasters in the country.
Thrill Source I would have to disagree with that
Is there a difference or is it just the name
Different colors, different theming, and, of course, it used to be a stand-up roller coaster, now it is floorless
So you repainted Apocalypse red and orange and called it a new ride?
Danny And it has floorless trains. It’s a new coaster EXPERIENCE.
People complained how uncomfortable this ride was as Apocalypse as it was a stand up coaster.
So a floorless conversion makes it a little bit better.
Like how Mantis at Cedar Point was transformed into Rougarou. Stand up coaster...to a floorless.
Second worst b&m behind X Flight
6 flags America, When will the batwing be open again?
Joelle Miller it’s open
ha lol it got stuck and now new image to clickbait
BABY UR A FIREWORK CMON SHOW ME WHAT UR WORTH SC
WHY IS KATY PERRY PLAYING IN THIS ONE
I went on this it’s really yfun
On the app it says this is 9 ft tall uhh
Idk what’s wrong with this one
BURNING UP LALALALALALALALALAL
When u get on this ❤️❤️❤️ when you parents get on it f this
Miss apocalypse anyone?
Um
Demonetized by Katy Perry
Fire bird is not scary at all
@sixflagsamerica can y’all get RMC hands on the ROAR PLEASE⁉️
Firework killed the whole video.
Michell Ries Nah.
You must like Firework. I don't.
It is a good song. If you want no music at a park, go to Darien Lake where their speakers don’t work lol.
Thrill Source I didn't say I don't want music at the park. I just don't like listening to anything that make my ears bleed, like this.
@@mitchellries256 true
Pacing looks edgy
Same thing
Different experience.
Can you retrack in off season and add some themeing if you bring back the themeing for apocalypse it be better
Honestly, this new theme is fine. I like the landscaping they are doing around it which they did not do around Apocalypse.
Also retracing a steel coaster is diffrent and harder from retracking a woodin coaster
Keep it original
They won’t retrack it. If they were to retrack it they would have kept the stand up. This conversion was just to try and extend the service life of the coaster for a few years
