"... like Six Flags Great America, just not as great?" You hit the nail on the head before even entering the park. 😄 Lived in the area for 20 years and most locals avoided it to drive to King's Dominion. SFA has the largest Six Flags park, land wise, but it's like the owners/investors only care to do the bare minimum to populate and run the park with minimal rides. It has loads of potential, given that it exists right on the edge of Washington DC where tourism is huge, but, meh.
Just FYI, the city of Bowie, MD is pronounced, BOO E. Also, I know you are tryiing to attend every state fair in the country. The Maryland State Fair starts next Thursday and is held AUGUST 24 - 27 | AUGUST 31 - SEPTEMBER 4 | SEPTEMBER 7 - 10. The Mardi Gras section of SFA is my fav section. The Joker's Jinx is my FAV rollercoaster there. LOVE IT SO MUCH!! It takes off super fast in the beginning and doesn't slow down until the ride is over,
Summer of the Carrousel is traveling around in all the proper circles! Congrats, Carpetbagger on all of America's Six Flags- you'll probably be in Canada tomorrow at your pace!
The area is pronounced "BOOwee" (Bowie). Welcome to Maryland! Wild World and the awesome wild wave was my favorite summer camp day trip as a kid. Hope you'll get to attend the Maryland State Fair in Timonium, Maryland!
This park started out as a drive-through wildlife Safari in the 1970s, which was not all that successful. In 1982 it was renamed, Wild World as a not so successful amusement park/waterpark. In 1986, they added Wild One coaster originally from Massachusetts. Even with that, the park was not successful all the way up until 1992. Premier Parks bought it in 1992 and begin pouring investments in it. they renamed the park, Adventure, World. In 1998 Premier Parks bought Six Flags and started rebranding their existing parks as Sux Flags parks. In 1999 Adventure World was renamed to Six Flags America.
The Wild One wooden coaster was relocated in 1986 from one of my former regional parks, Paragon Park, in Hull, MA. It debuted there in 1917 as the Giant Coaster, receiving alterations in 1932 and 1963. It closed with Paragon Park in 1985, and was purchased at auction by the then-Wild World park, where it was reassembled as the Wild One.
As a local, I have to say that the not being so great part is correct. It's a small park with bare minimum rides. The newest addition is the FireBird coaster. We go to Six Flags not because it's a great park, but because it's local, it has a water park and gives us something to do. My favorite ride is the Scrambler!! The Flying Carousel is actually my favorite swing. Because the park is smaller, I would say the FrightFest is really great!!! I do believe the block off section is used for FrightFest and that section is completely dark. You didn't show the Wonder Woman swing and the Superman rollercoaster. I hope they are still there. I haven't been in some years.
I'll be heading down next week to do a few installs and make a delivery of something very cool we have been working on for the last 2 and months! Hope the people and guest goers at Maryland Six Flags enjoy these new additions we have created!
I have noticed that you have visited some Wizard of Oz inspired places. I’d like to see you visit the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota next.
At one point they used to do a Halloween stunt show and monsters would zip line over your head with chainsaws. Crazy they shut down an entire section of the park. There’s 4 rides back there they blocked off so I’d be a pretty pissed customer considering the park is tiny.
Six Flags sure has improved over the years! May as well hit Kings Dominion and Bush Garden in the South. Your earlier coverage of Kings Dominion is my favorite.
We need to start emailing the parks that don't allow filming on coasters and rides to update their policies. I did that for Kennywood but I'm just one person.
Its wild that Six Flags would rather dedicate an entire section of a park in Maryland to Mardi Gras rather than keep a historic and long revered local park up and running. RIP Jazzland 🙏
Used to be wild world when I was a kid. And the wrestler big John stud was in the commercials it was mostly a water park with a couple rides and the safari you where talking about
I went as a small child and it was the Wildlife Preserve. You actually drove your car through it and the animals were just roaming free. I remember the John Studd commercial, he lived in the DC area. When it became Adventure World they had a couple of commercials with Cal Ripken.
Carpetbagger, we have a classic carousel at Lakeside Amusement Park here in Denver, Colorado. The building housing the carousel has a nice art deco design. 'Tis the summer of carousels! 🎠
It's pronounced "Boo-E" .... I grew up in the city next to it (Crofton, MD). I used to be a lifeguard at their Wave Pool when it was called Adventure World.
These are very fun videos and I hope you come my way again. I think you will really enjoy Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon MA. They have an awesome carousel and really great animal enclosures. You may even enjoy the Skyfari ride too.
Coyote creek has been shut down since august of 2022. probably just because they are being cheap and see it as easier then opening it. In terms of the rides back in there we don't know their fate yet however it is likely that mind eraser does get reopened next year and they simply pretend it did not close or possibly they give it new trains with the vest restraints.
PLEASE READ, EVERYONE!! Just saw your latest vid! Your channel introduced me to every single location I have ever planned to visit. You are an encyclopedia of American attractions! I know you need some time off, so I'm going to run your videos on my TV instead of music/the usual stuff. I'll try my best to go for the rest of August, and give you a chance to take a mental break for views! Everyone who appreciates Jacob's channel and wants to boost him for a bit--post your comments in his feed!!! Let's show him we wanna give him August!!!
Wild World > Adventure World > Six Flags. This is both the chronology or the park as well as my order of preference... This could also have to do with youthful enthusiasm. :-)
Congrats on your achievement! Hillary's ascent of Everest, Admiral Perry's North Pole expedition, and Eddie Burback's visit to all Margaritavilles in the USA all pale in comparison.🤐😛😄
Hey carpetbagger, the joker ride is actually called spaghetti bowl. It’s the same exact model as that one you filmed at Fiesta Texas. Great videos, thanks for the content !
14:28 That is what used to be Whistlestop Park (Which was a Thomas the Tank Engine themed area for the 2010 season), it is now supposedly getting removed for the 2024/2025 season.
Premier Parks purchased the park and then later they purchased Six Flags during the Time-Warner-AOL merger and changed the name of their company to Six Flags and then proceeded to change the name of all of their crappier parks to 'Six Flags' so that the general public would think that Six Flags had purchased them. It only resulted in the diluting of the Six Flags brand. Much the same as when Nations Bank, ranked worst in customer service, purchased Bank of America and then used their name.
Maybe if enough of us contact Kennywood Six Flags and other parks they will update their filming policies. Then next summer can be the summer of the coaster.
Good morning Jacob 🌞😊 the final lol you visited all of the Six flags, that's awesome. I just saw Jenny Penny video she was at a McDonald's to Feature some Sauce that was advertised lol and she learned to do "Snapchat". Thanks for sharing Jacob you take care. It looks fun.🤓📸👍
What is the name of Jenns page . Somehow I never caught the name of it please Would love to follow her on RUclips as well ..but Jacob is still one of my TOP 5 I watch daily
That one's down to 4 flags...The Western area has been closed all year. Thats where their infamous Mind Eraser SLC is located, plus bumper cars and a rapids ride. Don't know why. Might have something to do with them installing a new waterslide close to there.
You saw 2 coasters that were formerly at Great America in Gurnee: Rajun Cajun and Firebird, which used to be known as Iron Wolf and was the 1st stand up roller coaster at the park.
I love Baltimore. I went to Baltimore Zoo in 3rd grade (99/00) and Baltimore Aquarium on my birthday in 2007. Loved the dolphin show and I got a dolphin mood necklace and a dolphin stuffie. At the Zoo, I sprained my ankle on some stairs as I was following my classmates down the stairs and that's when I fell 😢. I don't remember seeing most of the animals 😢. I would love to go back to the Zoo and Aquarium sometime after all the violence stops, hopefully. Baltimore is very beautiful.
With the summer of the carousel continuing…I would suggest the one at the Bronx Zoo - it’s all bugs you can ride and you can even ride in a ball of dung being pushed by a dung beetle.
Hi Jacob, Congratulations. I use to go to Six Flags America every summer since the 2000s. I'm gonna be honest with you, this is not the best Six Flags park, its kind of dull and they don't have enough family/flat rides. No dark rides. As always keep up the good work sir.
Went here for the 4th of July and it was horrid.Crowded and confusing with terrible costumer service.Some of the major rides were closed too before the rain moved in and I ended up getting Covid.
You're always picking on the saddled Zebras because they're wild animals, but under that criteria you should also be calling out the saddled rhinos and tigers and lions, etc. ;)
😂😂 the first store you go in . I miss those cartoons being little. Awesome the park takes you back to the 1700's ,, a haunt opens up soon in Sept in cornfields can't wait 🎃🤡🧟♂️🌽🌾🩻🪓

Don't look now Jacob he's going to turn around and bite cha!
Congrats! Now all you have to do is go to Montreal and Mexico City and you can go to every Six Flags in the world.
How many are in u.s.a.? And how many worldwide.?
SIX FLAGS.
And what are the 6 flags.?
Fascinating.
and then eventually saudi arabia when six flags qiddiya opens

Thank you! Lol it was bugging me he was saying it wrong
I personally got satisfaction by you completing all the US Six Flags!

This coaster has a long and storied history
It was nice to meet you while I was working at the carousel and the train

Steampunk?
Congratulations 🎉on going to all the six flags
I for one am so glad the Carpetbagger - Camel War is now well and truly over
16:22 incidentally. "The Merry Go-round broke down" is the name of the music used as the Loony Toons theme.
You beat me to it!
Merry-go-round 1 has broken down…
I love the carousel! So many different animals and bright colors! I knew you would ride the camel!😂
He almost rode the camel
I have noticed that you have visited some Wizard of Oz inspired places. I’d like to see you visit the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota next.
Absolutely
I get excited when I get a notification for this because I know no matter what ITS GONNA BE FUN! WOOP, WOO!!!!
I was actually here on my senior trip. I am a class of 2023.
You have become the Six Flag King
I’m from Bowie, Maryland. That used to be a wild world. Good times at that place.
At one point they used to do a Halloween stunt show and monsters would zip line over your head with chainsaws.
Crazy they shut down an entire section of the park. There’s 4 rides back there they blocked off so I’d be a pretty pissed customer considering the park is tiny.
Just finally got to finish this and no Superman or batwing?!
Six Flags sure has improved over the years! May as well hit Kings Dominion and Bush Garden in the South. Your earlier coverage of Kings Dominion is my favorite.
Thank you Jacob I always love your theme park videos
We need to start emailing the parks that don't allow filming on coasters and rides to update their policies. I did that for Kennywood but I'm just one person.
Its wild that Six Flags would rather dedicate an entire section of a park in Maryland to Mardi Gras rather than keep a historic and long revered local park up and running. RIP Jazzland 🙏
Thank goodness we didn't miss out on that carousel
Congrats on your achievement. Love the horses best on any caraousel.
Awesome, you rode the camel! You needed it for closure.🤣😂
In MD we don't say bowie as in David bowie we say it as boo and we. Hope this helps.
I was a ride attendant there in 1997. Miss the fun of making people smile, but I don’t miss standing in the sun all day lol

16:22 Six Flags AMERICA!!!!!
The Carpetbagger was in my hometown. WOW
Penelope Pussycat is the name of the cat that gets chased by Pepé Le Pew. Glad that you went to your final Six Flags park Jake!
Carpetbagger, we have a classic carousel at Lakeside Amusement Park here in Denver, Colorado. The building housing the carousel has a nice art deco design. 'Tis the summer of carousels! 🎠
It's pronounced "Boo-E" .... I grew up in the city next to it (Crofton, MD). I used to be a lifeguard at their Wave Pool when it was called Adventure World.
Final? Oh you visited all of them
These are very fun videos and I hope you come my way again. I think you will really enjoy Southwick’s Zoo in Mendon MA. They have an awesome carousel and really great animal enclosures. You may even enjoy the Skyfari ride too.

my home state Md. i haven't been to six flags in 20 yrs, thanks for the video
It's a shame that the summer of Carousels can't last forever.

Thank You .... Jachob the Carpetbbager......always a good time.
Wow where abouts in Northern Indiana!? I'm from NWI! Never knew that fun fact lol fellow Hoosier!
That's in my area living in Maryland, thanks for visiting
Wild World > Adventure World > Six Flags. This is both the chronology or the park as well as my order of preference... This could also have to do with youthful enthusiasm. :-)
25:35 Darien Lake for favorite and revisit as it's my home park
Congrats on your achievement! Hillary's ascent of Everest, Admiral Perry's North Pole expedition, and Eddie Burback's visit to all Margaritavilles in the USA all pale in comparison.🤐😛😄
I didn’t want this video to end. I was having so much fun. Thank you, Jacob 💼 TCB!
Six Flags 'MURICA! because dropping the A everything saves a bunch of seconds that can be used to say this "Carpetbagger! Let's see Canada six flags!"
Penelope pussycat was alway's so cute and sweet. Congratulations on doing all 6 flags now.
Hey carpetbagger, the joker ride is actually called spaghetti bowl. It’s the same exact model as that one you filmed at Fiesta Texas. Great videos, thanks for the content !
that wild west arena was alot of fun when we were there!
Wow. The camel curse continues. That will show you!! 😊 Glad you didnt give up and persevered.
14:28 That is what used to be Whistlestop Park (Which was a Thomas the Tank Engine themed area for the 2010 season), it is now supposedly getting removed for the 2024/2025 season.
Yay, congratulations for visiting every Six Flags!
Very good video.
I love roller-coasters.

My favorite Yosemite Sam quote is "Whoaaa camel! Whoa camel!" Jacob can relate to that.
Check back in at Six Flags Over Texas
Awesome love your adventures..you are awesome 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤😊😊😊
Maybe if enough of us contact Kennywood Six Flags and other parks they will update their filming policies. Then next summer can be the summer of the coaster.
Good morning Jacob 🌞😊 the final lol you visited all of the Six flags, that's awesome. I just saw Jenny Penny video she was at a McDonald's to Feature some Sauce that was advertised lol and she learned to do "Snapchat". Thanks for sharing Jacob you take care. It looks fun.🤓📸👍

Would love to follow her on RUclips as well ..but Jacob is still one of my TOP 5 I watch daily
@@denisedarnell1641 it's just her name Jenny Penny. Hope that helps.🙂
@denisedarnell1641 some of her videos have Jacob which I think are pretty funny.
No peace with camels in our time! 😂
That one's down to 4 flags...The Western area has been closed all year. Thats where their infamous Mind Eraser SLC is located, plus bumper cars and a rapids ride. Don't know why. Might have something to do with them installing a new waterslide close to there.
This was Wild World as well as a place called Adventure World. I believe it was Adventure World before Six flags.
There was a six flags here in the netherlands some time ago. Now it is called Walibi Holland
WOW that's awesome!!!😊
Well, of course the merry-go-round broke down. The park is full of Looney Toons!
You saw 2 coasters that were formerly at Great America in Gurnee: Rajun Cajun and Firebird, which used to be known as Iron Wolf and was the 1st stand up roller coaster at the park.
Oh wow! I remember Iron Wolf, they used to play commercials about it on TV non-stop where I grew up
If you think you can take it...STAND UP!!!@@TheCarpetbagger
Hey Jacob, you are in My State! Would love to meet you one day. If you are closer to Baltimore!
I love Baltimore. I went to Baltimore Zoo in 3rd grade (99/00) and Baltimore Aquarium on my birthday in 2007. Loved the dolphin show and I got a dolphin mood necklace and a dolphin stuffie. At the Zoo, I sprained my ankle on some stairs as I was following my classmates down the stairs and that's when I fell 😢. I don't remember seeing most of the animals 😢. I would love to go back to the Zoo and Aquarium sometime after all the violence stops, hopefully. Baltimore is very beautiful.
Lucky I got to wait about five weeks for the fair to come to searcy
Congratulations 😊
If you are near here on the 24th you should check out the state fair. Its not much but you could check it off the list.
Hope you make it back to Six Flags St. Louis. Feel like you barely got to see the park on your Transworld visit
You came to my home park I wish I would have been there to meet him
I think wooden coasters are TheBest!!! Maybe riding just wooden coasters would be fun! Happy adventures Jacob! Love your videos ❤
With the summer of the carousel continuing…I would suggest the one at the Bronx Zoo - it’s all bugs you can ride and you can even ride in a ball of dung being pushed by a dung beetle.
Six Flags of Texas, is the best, the original, and the reason it's called Six Flags!
love this cool video
Hi Jacob,
Congratulations.
I use to go to Six Flags America every summer since the 2000s.
I'm gonna be honest with you, this is not the best Six Flags park, its kind of dull and they don't have enough family/flat rides. No dark rides.
As always keep up the good work sir.
Have you visited Frontier City, La Ronde or Mexico?
I live in northern Virginia and I'm 43 minutes away from here.
That's my home Park always go there
Went here for the 4th of July and it was horrid.Crowded and confusing with terrible costumer service.Some of the major rides were closed too before the rain moved in and I ended up getting Covid.
Awesome I live in glen burnie Md awesome
Jacob, so a Carousel is defined as having galloping horses only and a Merry Go Round defies with horses and other animals.
Actually not true, “Merry Go Round” is a more specific name for this type of ride, while Carousel is more general
@@TheCarpetbagger well I never. Thank you for correcting me.
You should come to The Great Darke County Fair, one of the largest around. It's in Greenville Ohio starts this Friday, runs for 9 days
There's one more Six Flags park in Mexico. :)
Wow that's a nice Six Flags
i rode the harley quinn twice and i hated every second of it. it was one of those rides that i felt accomplished once i got off though.
That’s close to where I live and pronunciation is boowee or boo e (Bowie)
This is my home park it's the worst six flags IN America 😂
You're always picking on the saddled Zebras because they're wild animals, but under that criteria you should also be calling out the saddled rhinos and tigers and lions, etc. ;)
Let's go Jacob. Congrats
😂😂 the first store you go in . I miss those cartoons being little. Awesome the park takes you back to the 1700's ,, a haunt opens up soon in Sept in cornfields can't wait 🎃🤡🧟♂️🌽🌾🩻🪓
Maryland is in the South .we are below the Mason-Dixon line.
Six Flags DC!😀
Six flags at Darien lake
