Yes. I mean, as for this plan, yes, please! But we know SF is never giving them this kind of revenue. But one of your first steps makes so much sense to me even in a realistic sense: RMCing Roar is not a terribly expensive proposition yet I have to think it would so transform the image of this drab park that it would pay for itself with greatly increased hate revenue.
Six flags America is my home six flags park. And I totally agree with you. It could be so much better. We need to show this video to six flags America!

Alright here’s what I would do: 2020: Roar is closed and prepped for the iron horse treatment. Bourbon Street Fireball is also quietly removed and the entrance to Gotham City is expanded at that point. 2021: Roar Unleashed opens. Also there is an overhaul of the operations and staffing. Wages are increased by a dollar fifty for hourly staff, but training is more rigorous to ensure that employees are no longer rude to customers. Also overall park beautification like the addition of landscaping around firebird and more mature trees are planted in areas to assure more shade. Also that rock wall is torn down. Also, Batwing and that small section of the park are closed for the season..... 2022: Batwing reopens as Flying Machine, one of the two marquee attractions of the new ScreamPunk District. It received an extensive overhaul including a new indoor and air conditioned queue line and a gold track and black support color scheme. Next door, the new Mechanica opens up, an S&S Scream’N’Swing. It will feature an elaborate queue line and it will be the forty seat addition so it can be marketed as the tallest ride of its kind. A new restaurant and bathroom are constructed in the area. Not only that, a new pro slide complex opens up in the water park that is similar to the one at Beech Bend that has the saucer turns slide, a bowl slide, a wall slide, and a tantrum slide. At the end of the season, Mind Eraser is torn down. 2023: The new Gold Rush opens, a Mack Rides Big Dipper which will be the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. This ride replaces Mind Eraser and gives reason to overhaul the western section of the park, with a new path opening up that takes guess from the dry park and takes them near the wave pool in the water park. 2024: after three years of large expansions, there is a bit of an off year with the rapids ride getting a major overhaul and a new name, similar to what happened at Knotts Berry Farm. 2025: dueling water coaster similar to Cheetah Chase at Holiday World opens right at the front of the water park.
Really impressed. Making the park a complete circuit is honestly one of the most crucial. I never understood how they dumped so much money into this park when it first converted to the chain, and then they basically abandoned the project of making this a quality park in the chain.
@@XscreamThrills There's definitely a market. This park is 25 minutes from where I grew up but our go to parks have always been Kings Dominion or Great Adventure except them couple good years when Superman, Batwing, Two-Face and Joker all opened within three years.
100 percent agreed. It makes no sense that they decided to sleep on this park even after they exited bankruptcy, considering they decided not to sell it.

This style of coaster would really blend in nicely with the park's current coasters and offer something for the younger coaster enthusiasts to enjoy. - Vekoma STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster), this awesome coaster model offers a great riding experience and fun thrilling ride that's filled with some airtime.

This new coaster will feature a height of around 160ft, feature two mid-course break runs (which don't actually slow the train down, but are only in place because it would be running five trains at once), and to help make this coaster really stand out even more, part of the layout would go into the woods. This would be perfect for marketing purposes and would attract people all over the world as well as region to the park to take a spin on it. - Vekoma Family Boomerang coaster, this coaster model allows medium-sized thrill seekers a low cost addition to enjoy immediately and inject life into the park.

Six flags america is my home park, I have been to it at least 12 times and I wish the management team would follow this video exactly every word you said I was with you on, thank you
I’d personally call Hybrid Roar Roaring Thunder, the Mack Multi-Launch Inferno, and the B&M Gigacoaster Harbinger 350. Also it would be fun if the family woodie was called Mild One. But that’s only my opinion and you don’t have to follow it.
I've enjoyed this series. I'd be curious what your thoughts would be about some of the Disney parks, particularly the ones the struggle with their identity (i.e. California Adventure, Hollywood Studios, EPCOT.) Fixing the tragic amusement parks leaves a lot of room for creativity, just like the SFA ideas you listed. It reminds me of early 2000s Paramount's Great America before Cedar Fair started putting more money into the place. But fixing the big name parks, where expectations are everything, presents a totally different kind of challenge. On that note, it would be cool for you to do some videos on defunct parks that you would revive and what you would do with them if you were given the opportunity. I can envision plans for the reborn Astroworld, SFNO, Sea World Ohio, Geauga Lake and so on.
I'm like you, this park is not that terrible. If I'm the owner: Year 1: new trains for ride of steel. Since they can't run the tee bar like the train is supposed to, new trains with the new restraints like pantheon. Year 2: new Teen Titans Go theme and no more Looney tunes. Water park upgrades and new slides and stuff. Year 3: roar titan track upgrades, new millennium flyer trains. Year 4: remove mind eraser and build the first B&M family invert in usa Year 5: remove firebird, replace with teen titans go theme log flume with indoor sections.
Good vid, but you kinda lost me at the end with the giga. Just, not that realistic in such a short time span. Here's what my plan would be: 2021 (Starting here because of the late acquisition): Close Roar, with either an RMC or GCI makeover; I'd actually in this case lean toward GCI for two reasons: 1. I want to see what GCI could do for the ride; while it would be a bit of a gamble considering this would be GCI's first conversion project, SFOT had to take a gamble on RMC for them to be so popular, right? I won't be ignoring RMC mind you, I'll get to that later, I just want to encourage competition in the industry, and I'm sure GCI would do a great job, even if playing it safe a la NTG. The other reason is kinda sentimental, but Roar was a GCI to begin with; let it remain one (also, the other Roar is arguably the weakest RMC produced once they really got into the swing of things, aka 2016-present). 2022: Demo Batwing at the end of the year, unless Nighthawk closes at Carowinds, in which case keep it running on those spare parts for another 3-7 years. Expand waterpark and connect as many dead ends as possible. 2023: General improvements, along with a kiddie/family expansion; SFA currently only has one kiddie coaster, so another would be great. This would likely be a family woodie, 40-70 feet high, made specifically by Gravity Group, as their family coasters (in general) end up better than family GCI's. Pretty tame, with hopefully a height requirement of 46 inches or less. 2024: Waterpark expansion and flat ride package; FINALLY demo Mind Eraser. 2025: Sell Firebird to Silverwood, if they'll take it. Hey, they have the original Corkscrew, and they take really good care of it, so why not? I'm sure they'd get more out of it than me. 2026: After two demo(ish) years, add in a small RMC T-Rex, 200-250 feet; would say raptor, but I want two across seating. 2027: Off year. General improvements. 2028: Waterpark Improvements. 2029: Custom layout 150-175 foot Vekoma STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster), provided they aren't just as bad as SLC's; (in this unlikely scenario, I'll go with a 200-220 foot B&M invert, so as to one-up BGW; the Vekoma should be different enough to not need the record) it will go where Firebird was, wrapping in and around the new hybrid and Wild One. 2030: Waterpark expansion; latest possible demo date for Batwing. 2031: Off year and general improvements, in preparation for a BIG 2032. 2032: 50th anniversary year. Record-breaking B&M flyer (likely 200+ foot) that will go off into a long layout, giving spectacular views of the park. Also, a large dueling (but not inverting) GCI will be built if funds permit. Finally, and this is more of a pipedream, but I'd look into renting Olympia Looping for two seasons to celebrate the true rebirth of this park. So, overall, no Giga, but honestly, if all this did happen by then, I think things would really be looking up for SFA. We'd have hepefully reaped the benefits or steady investment over the years and be able to REALLY have a bash in 2032 (and '33) to celebrate. I tried to keep as realistic at first, building up to the crazy. All of this could theoretically happen if all went perfectly, outside of the Olympia Looping thing, but even if that didn't happen, this would be a great time-span.
You should do Six Flags Over Texas because it’s neglected thanks to Magic Mountain, Great America, Great Adventure, Fiesta Texas, Discovery Kingdom, and New England. Also the poor management as well. It’s should receive more thrilling roller coasters, improve sections of the park, add pavers, expand the park, and remove older rides with the expection of runaway mine train and shockwave.
Saw a video with a presentation from Six Flags America management. This is the improvements that they're getting next year New entrance plaza Harley's Quinn New light packages on Up Up and Away and Riddler's Revenge A new bar in the Gotham City area to replace the arcade area A new chain, new wheels and new restraints on Superman New wheels and a repaint on Joker Some Renovations on the Looney Tunes area New chairs at Hurricane Harbor And bourbon street fireball is getting repainted
I would transform it into a Star trek/ Lord of the rings theme park since none of these movies have their own theme parks yet. I would expand the water park putting a water coaster like you said and other new water rides. I would get rid of all the old rides starting with the worst rollercoasters. I would add charaters from both movies for guests to meet but they would get to walk around in their lands. Get more themed restraunts as well. Add better bathrooms, etc. But I really like your plans too.
Would love you to do Six Flags Over Texas. We have not been treated well. Not as badly as SFA, but as the original, we've had a lot of stuff lost to neglect and corporatism.
I was doing a map of six flags parks on Google maps and I completely forgot SF America and didn't even realize till later that night when I was looking at the website to make sure I got every park.
I really feel like the giga and multi-launch coasters are a bit far-fetched, and removing Batwing would probably not be a great idea because that is basically the only unique ride at the park. Or, at least when you get rid of Batwing, have another unique ride to take its place, like a Sky Rocket (not a SR2) or a Hyper GTX. Me personally, I would spread out the expansions a bit more, especially the roller coasters, so you can actually build up enough money to afford those attractions and keep the park "new"/"fresh" for longer. Otherwise, I think your list is pretty good.
I like a couple ideas but there is a reason most parks don't drop down coasters every single year. I mean in 5 years you wanted an RMC, Launch Coaster, GCI and a Giga. I mean that's almost 80 million in investment right there before waterpark and infrastructure.
If only six flags understood that focusing on six flags America for a few years would make business explode by making it a desirable theme park bringing guests from cities like New York
This is my home Six Flags park, and from what I've heard I'm glad I've never been there. I've heard so many things about the other Six Flags parks, and then there's just this park. It has so much potential which to be honest? It's kinda sad.
Something that made me cringe ( not trying to be mean ): When he said “Mak” instead of “Mok” ( I know that’s not how you spell it, but it’s the pronunciation)
I know how much this will help the park if you owned it but there are some problem First Batwing is one of the only Flying Dutchman meaning that removeing this people would be mad and it would not be worth it 2 mind eraser I love this ride you hate or you love it so remove this would be like remove your favorite food out of existing 3 firebird was made 2018 now you are going to remove it and the rocky face that also goes into wild one why
Mostly seems like possible and good improvements to the park. That is until you get to roller coasters in consecutive years. The ROI for that sort of build out would almost certainly not be worth it. Though this would clearly be a better park it still would not be such a force that people outside the area would be willing to travel to it in consecutive years. Space those coasters out to every three years or so and you would be better off. Then in the years those aren't opening do those smaller projects which you can use to advertise to the locals. For a park in the condition that SFA is in, this would need to be a 10 year plan.
2022: -SBF Visa Zero Gravity -ProSlide ProBowl 30 -ProSlide TornadoWAVE 45 2023: -Zamperla Nebulaz -Steamin' Demon to permanently close August 15th 2024: -Gerstlauer Eurofighter to replace Steamin' Demon 2025: -New kids area to the left of Extreme Supernova -Zamperla Flying Tigers -Zamperla Rockin' Tug -Zamperla Super Happy Swing -SBF Visa Compact Spinning Coaster 2026: -Cinderella Pumpkin Coach ride to return -New shows -Alpine Bobsled and Olympiad Grand Prix Go-Karts to close at end of season 2027: -ProSlide Mammoth Slide 2028: -GCI Wooden Coaster to replace Alpine Bobsled and Olympiad Grand Prix Go-Karts 2029: -Skull Manor Refurbishment -Black Cobra to close at end of season 2030: ProSlide Serpentine Complex to replace Black Cobra 2031: -RES Roller Ball to go near RipCord
If I owned SFA and SFNE, I would make it similar to your own version of SFNE. Just instead of space, it would be Cyberpunk, and not be named New England Adventure Park. For SFA, I would also remove all the DC and Looney Tunes licenses, also mostly go with your plan, and make themed areas (some of them will be different from the ones at New England, some of them would be at both)
If I owned the Six Flags Chain, I would revamp all the parks just like I would do for New England and America, and sell Great Escape and La Ronde cuz they're not so great.
Mine (probably): 2022: Closed The Entire Year Remove Mind Eraser and Batwing Since I'd lose the DC rights, I would rename Joker's Jinx to "Fear Itself" with a catchprahse, "The only thing to fear is Fear Itself" Superman would be renamed to Big Thunder I would RMC Roar for the 2023 season too Wild Roar because the RMC name has stumped me forever so Im taking Wild Roar I would give Firebird refurbishments, stand-up cars, and relocate it to Six Flags Great America for the 2023 Season as Iron Wolf again Some other major DC rides to retheme: Riddle Me This would be renamed to Vertigo: Insanity Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth would be renamed to Watchtower Great Chase would get renamed to Mild One and be relocated near Wild One (i dont know the map) 2023: Open May-July Wild Roar would open most likely a kiddie expansion New Water Slide I got nothing after this
Got to remember this Superman ride of steel would have to re themed and named b cause it’s not a sixflags if you own it and also I think it could need a redo like in your first vid
Correct me if I’m wrong, don’t Darien lake and America have the most space? It’s a shame they will probably never get the investments. I mean, I guess they go by attendance and predicted attendance, but with all that land, it’s such a shame.
Really great job managing to fix the park and making it a great amusement/water park. I have an idea of a new coaster that Six Flags America is lacking, which is a long, airtime filled terrain coaster with great theming. I've thought of this coaster to be where Mind Eraser's old spot would be. A perfect name for this coaster would be called Bandit, cause it's in the Coyote Creek section of the park. It could be made by either RMC, for their Topper Track, or Gravity Group.
I would completely scrap the name and go with six flags DC. Brand everything to the comics with a cool tie in to the city. I think if the really went for it like absolutely all in it would be a huge hit. But I mean like marvel island big. I know this has kind of been done but I mean expansive and detailed theming
I remember hearing SFA has like a 210 ft height limit because of a nearby airport, so i don't think you can build a giga, though now i can't find anything about that
@@XscreamThrills but you already have Superman taking up the hyper coaster position. I'd just remove Superman because it looks like an excuse for an Intamin Mega Coaster and replace that with the B&M
Great video the only thing I would do is keep batwing for as long a I can with the park having the first H&M’s coaster and one of the only Flying Dutchman coasters left would be good for enthusiasts
God damn seeing this park owned by six flags makes me mad I wish this was one of the parks they sold when they were going bankrupt so we could have better management and bigger investments
It’s easy to fix any park by dumping a ton of money into it. The reason they’re not investing in this park is because there isn’t a huge market and they wouldn’t see their ROI (return) from $25 million coaster investments
@@XscreamThrills that is true. I heard that a new CEO may take over the park. This could be good for the park if he takes the job. I hope so.. I'm tired of people crapping on SFA
If roar gets rmcd, they should call it "growl"

DCA would be a fun park to takeover 😎 and I like the idea of reviving defunct parks
If they put a giga there 1st i would put in a hyper before the giga 2nd then when i have constructed the giga coaster 3rd i would remove super man
I'm like you, this park is not that terrible.
If I'm the owner:
Year 1: new trains for ride of steel. Since they can't run the tee bar like the train is supposed to, new trains with the new restraints like pantheon.
Year 2: new Teen Titans Go theme and no more Looney tunes. Water park upgrades and new slides and stuff.
Year 3: roar titan track upgrades, new millennium flyer trains.
Year 4: remove mind eraser and build the first B&M family invert in usa
Year 5: remove firebird, replace with teen titans go theme log flume with indoor sections.
Good vid, but you kinda lost me at the end with the giga. Just, not that realistic in such a short time span. Here's what my plan would be:
2021 (Starting here because of the late acquisition): Close Roar, with either an RMC or GCI makeover; I'd actually in this case lean toward GCI for two reasons: 1. I want to see what GCI could do for the ride; while it would be a bit of a gamble considering this would be GCI's first conversion project, SFOT had to take a gamble on RMC for them to be so popular, right? I won't be ignoring RMC mind you, I'll get to that later, I just want to encourage competition in the industry, and I'm sure GCI would do a great job, even if playing it safe a la NTG. The other reason is kinda sentimental, but Roar was a GCI to begin with; let it remain one (also, the other Roar is arguably the weakest RMC produced once they really got into the swing of things, aka 2016-present).
2022: Demo Batwing at the end of the year, unless Nighthawk closes at Carowinds, in which case keep it running on those spare parts for another 3-7 years. Expand waterpark and connect as many dead ends as possible.
2023: General improvements, along with a kiddie/family expansion; SFA currently only has one kiddie coaster, so another would be great. This would likely be a family woodie, 40-70 feet high, made specifically by Gravity Group, as their family coasters (in general) end up better than family GCI's. Pretty tame, with hopefully a height requirement of 46 inches or less.
2024: Waterpark expansion and flat ride package; FINALLY demo Mind Eraser.
2025: Sell Firebird to Silverwood, if they'll take it. Hey, they have the original Corkscrew, and they take really good care of it, so why not? I'm sure they'd get more out of it than me.
2026: After two demo(ish) years, add in a small RMC T-Rex, 200-250 feet; would say raptor, but I want two across seating.
2027: Off year. General improvements.
2028: Waterpark Improvements.
2029: Custom layout 150-175 foot Vekoma STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster), provided they aren't just as bad as SLC's; (in this unlikely scenario, I'll go with a 200-220 foot B&M invert, so as to one-up BGW; the Vekoma should be different enough to not need the record) it will go where Firebird was, wrapping in and around the new hybrid and Wild One.
2030: Waterpark expansion; latest possible demo date for Batwing.
2031: Off year and general improvements, in preparation for a BIG 2032.
2032: 50th anniversary year. Record-breaking B&M flyer (likely 200+ foot) that will go off into a long layout, giving spectacular views of the park. Also, a large dueling (but not inverting) GCI will be built if funds permit. Finally, and this is more of a pipedream, but I'd look into renting Olympia Looping for two seasons to celebrate the true rebirth of this park.
So, overall, no Giga, but honestly, if all this did happen by then, I think things would really be looking up for SFA. We'd have hepefully reaped the benefits or steady investment over the years and be able to REALLY have a bash in 2032 (and '33) to celebrate. I tried to keep as realistic at first, building up to the crazy. All of this could theoretically happen if all went perfectly, outside of the Olympia Looping thing, but even if that didn't happen, this would be a great time-span.
You should do Six Flags Over Texas because it’s neglected thanks to Magic Mountain, Great America, Great Adventure, Fiesta Texas, Discovery Kingdom, and New England. Also the poor management as well. It’s should receive more thrilling roller coasters, improve sections of the park, add pavers, expand the park, and remove older rides with the expection of runaway mine train and shockwave.
If I owned SFA: I would scrap it
Yikes!
@@XscreamThrills I'm kidding, I'd sell it to Sea World so they can give it like 40 coasters in a row
Lol
SFA is my home park but I wouldn’t miss it
*Geauga Lake flashbacks*
I think you had a little too much fun with this one
The two best coasters are Wild One and Superman. You can bulldoze the rest. Water park could use a much better lazy river. It started as a water park.
Saw a video with a presentation from Six Flags America management. This is the improvements that they're getting next year
New entrance plaza
Harley's Quinn
New light packages on Up Up and Away and Riddler's Revenge
A new bar in the Gotham City area to replace the arcade area
A new chain, new wheels and new restraints on Superman
New wheels and a repaint on Joker
Some Renovations on the Looney Tunes area
New chairs at Hurricane Harbor
And bourbon street fireball is getting repainted
I love when they talks about Baltimore ‼️
I would transform it into a Star trek/ Lord of the rings theme park since none of these movies have their own theme parks yet. I would expand the water park putting a water coaster like you said and other new water rides. I would get rid of all the old rides starting with the worst rollercoasters. I would add charaters from both movies for guests to meet but they would get to walk around in their lands. Get more themed restraunts as well. Add better bathrooms, etc. But I really like your plans too.
Can you do “if I owned Fiesta Texas” it’s my home park and I’m really curious on what you will do
Would love you to do Six Flags Over Texas. We have not been treated well. Not as badly as SFA, but as the original, we've had a lot of stuff lost to neglect and corporatism.
I need to visit SFOT first
If some other company bought this park. It could be so good.
Not bad . Only thing now is that we need six flags to recruit you
Okay it’s official I want you to own Six Flags America👍🏻
Ok, just have them sign it over 🙃
I’m on it! Lol
I was doing a map of six flags parks on Google maps and I completely forgot SF America and didn't even realize till later that night when I was looking at the website to make sure I got every park.
I really feel like the giga and multi-launch coasters are a bit far-fetched, and removing Batwing would probably not be a great idea because that is basically the only unique ride at the park. Or, at least when you get rid of Batwing, have another unique ride to take its place, like a Sky Rocket (not a SR2) or a Hyper GTX. Me personally, I would spread out the expansions a bit more, especially the roller coasters, so you can actually build up enough money to afford those attractions and keep the park "new"/"fresh" for longer. Otherwise, I think your list is pretty good.
I really like this series! The only thing I would add is prices for the roller coasters so we can keep track of how much you’ll be spending
So come up with a "ball park" estimation on each attraction? I'll consider if for the next one!
Thanks for saving the wild one as it is the world’s 4th oldest roller coaster
Thank you for using my icon video 😊
You're welcome!
I like a couple ideas but there is a reason most parks don't drop down coasters every single year. I mean in 5 years you wanted an RMC, Launch Coaster, GCI and a Giga. I mean that's almost 80 million in investment right there before waterpark and infrastructure.
If only six flags understood that focusing on six flags America for a few years would make business explode by making it a desirable theme park bringing guests from cities like New York
I don't think that people would come from 5 hours away in new york
Or you know.... the freaking CAPITAL OF THE COUNTRY
I think your idea is AmAzInG!!!! P.S. I would do the same thing :)
This is my home Six Flags park, and from what I've heard I'm glad I've never been there. I've heard so many things about the other Six Flags parks, and then there's just this park. It has so much potential which to be honest? It's kinda sad.
Something that made me cringe ( not trying to be mean ):
When he said “Mak” instead of “Mok” ( I know that’s not how you spell it, but it’s the pronunciation)
You should do one if you would build a Six Flags park where would you put it and what would be in it
That's an idea!
@@XscreamThrills It’s very fun I’m doing my own
Why wasn't mind eraser the 1st ride removed
Get a B&M inverted coaster with 8 inversions, a B&M Giga, a Chance coaster with airtime.
I just found this series and this channel and I love it. Keep up the work!
Thanks!
Can you do a If I owned Six Flags Great Adventure?
I know how much this will help the park if you owned it but there are some problem
First Batwing is one of the only Flying Dutchman meaning that removeing this people would be mad and it would not be worth it
2 mind eraser I love this ride you hate or you love it so remove this would be like remove your favorite food out of existing
3 firebird was made 2018 now you are going to remove it and the rocky face that also goes into wild one why
Mostly seems like possible and good improvements to the park. That is until you get to roller coasters in consecutive years. The ROI for that sort of build out would almost certainly not be worth it. Though this would clearly be a better park it still would not be such a force that people outside the area would be willing to travel to it in consecutive years. Space those coasters out to every three years or so and you would be better off. Then in the years those aren't opening do those smaller projects which you can use to advertise to the locals. For a park in the condition that SFA is in, this would need to be a 10 year plan.
If I owned Six Flags America, I would probably make it similar to Disney's America.
With Disney plans comes with Disney budgets
And I thought my 10 Year Great Escape plan was nuts
2022:
-SBF Visa Zero Gravity
-ProSlide ProBowl 30
-ProSlide TornadoWAVE 45
2023:
-Zamperla Nebulaz
-Steamin' Demon to permanently close August 15th
2024:
-Gerstlauer Eurofighter to replace Steamin' Demon
2025:
-New kids area to the left of Extreme Supernova
-Zamperla Flying Tigers
-Zamperla Rockin' Tug
-Zamperla Super Happy Swing
-SBF Visa Compact Spinning Coaster
2026:
-Cinderella Pumpkin Coach ride to return
-New shows
-Alpine Bobsled and Olympiad Grand Prix Go-Karts to close at end of season
2027:
-ProSlide Mammoth Slide
2028:
-GCI Wooden Coaster to replace Alpine Bobsled and Olympiad Grand Prix Go-Karts
2029:
-Skull Manor Refurbishment
-Black Cobra to close at end of season
2030:
ProSlide Serpentine Complex to replace Black Cobra
2031:
-RES Roller Ball to go near RipCord
If the plan isn't nuts, why do it in the first place? :)
I think that slower expansion with larger projects is best since then you are not breaking the bank with every new ride.
Hay you should do if you owned frontier city I want to know what you would do
Haven't visited the park yet, but would be interesting in checking it out.
If I owned SFA and SFNE, I would make it similar to your own version of SFNE. Just instead of space, it would be Cyberpunk, and not be named New England Adventure Park. For SFA, I would also remove all the DC and Looney Tunes licenses, also mostly go with your plan, and make themed areas (some of them will be different from the ones at New England, some of them would be at both)
I would just make it themed to New England, with 6 main sections each themed to a different state.
If I owned the Six Flags Chain, I would revamp all the parks just like I would do for New England and America, and sell Great Escape and La Ronde cuz they're not so great.
Mine (probably):
2022: Closed The Entire Year
Remove Mind Eraser and Batwing
Since I'd lose the DC rights, I would rename Joker's Jinx to "Fear Itself" with a catchprahse, "The only thing to fear is Fear Itself"
Superman would be renamed to Big Thunder
I would RMC Roar for the 2023 season too Wild Roar because the RMC name has stumped me forever so Im taking Wild Roar
I would give Firebird refurbishments, stand-up cars, and relocate it to Six Flags Great America for the 2023 Season as Iron Wolf again
Some other major DC rides to retheme:
Riddle Me This would be renamed to Vertigo: Insanity
Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth would be renamed to Watchtower
Great Chase would get renamed to Mild One and be relocated near Wild One (i dont know the map)
2023: Open May-July
Wild Roar would open
most likely a kiddie expansion
New Water Slide
I got nothing after this
You should cover Six Flags St. Louis next.
Got to remember this Superman ride of steel would have to re themed and named b cause it’s not a sixflags if you own it and also I think it could need a redo like in your first vid
Please do this for my home park Six Flags Darien Lake. It has sooo much potential!
Great video speaking of Mack launch can’t wait to ride icon next year!!
why did they just stop caring about this park it’s between baltimore and the capital of the whole freaking country
Has a lot of potential!
I constantly wait for these videos
Jokers Jinx, Superman, and Wild One are the best coasters there.
Correct me if I’m wrong, don’t Darien lake and America have the most space? It’s a shame they will probably never get the investments. I mean, I guess they go by attendance and predicted attendance, but with all that land, it’s such a shame.
Darien Lake has space, but it's all Campgrounds right now
Can you please do a “If I owned Michigan’s Adventure”?
Haven't been there yet
Really great job managing to fix the park and making it a great amusement/water park. I have an idea of a new coaster that Six Flags America is lacking, which is a long, airtime filled terrain coaster with great theming. I've thought of this coaster to be where Mind Eraser's old spot would be. A perfect name for this coaster would be called Bandit, cause it's in the Coyote Creek section of the park. It could be made by either RMC, for their Topper Track, or Gravity Group.
2018 we made firebird
2021 remove firebird or fix it
I would redo batwing and redo some of the flat rides and I agree with ion everything else
Completely agreed with most of the stuff, although the budget ignores
It's a fantasy, so what's a budget? 🙃
I would completely scrap the name and go with six flags DC. Brand everything to the comics with a cool tie in to the city. I think if the really went for it like absolutely all in it would be a huge hit. But I mean like marvel island big. I know this has kind of been done but I mean expansive and detailed theming
5:24 Why not Intamin? The launches on an Intamin launch coaster are more forceful and the transitions are snappier than a Mack launch coaster.
Im open to other coaster manufacturers 👍
Do if I owned sixs flags great America
Quite a gut job needed to start with lol👍🏼
Keep flying Dutchman’s they’re part of rollercoaster history
This is one of my home parks and I really want a new coaster or an Rmc conversion of one of our woodies
There's no way they would go with a Mack launch. Those are way too expensive for Six Flags
This isn’t what he says they should do. Just what he would do.
Damn lol. I didn’t think it was bad. Maybe bc this is the only six flags I went to and I don’t like roller coaster 😭. Live right down the street
Why doesn’t Six Flags have the community choose something for the park.
I remember hearing SFA has like a 210 ft height limit because of a nearby airport, so i don't think you can build a giga, though now i can't find anything about that
I'll settle with a b&m hyper i guess lol
@@XscreamThrills but you already have Superman taking up the hyper coaster position. I'd just remove Superman because it looks like an excuse for an Intamin Mega Coaster and replace that with the B&M
Batwing is a decent rollercoaster and shouldn’t be taken down just because other parks are doing it
I think it's garbage, but that's my opinion
Great video the only thing I would do is keep batwing for as long a I can with the park having the first H&M’s coaster and one of the only Flying Dutchman coasters left would be good for enthusiasts
If nothing else, paint the old roller coasters. Joker's Jinx looks sad.
Why not add a Mondial Furiozo? You guys in the US are missing out on of the best flat rides ever built ;)
Not a big fan of flat rides, but it looks cool!
This is all great and all but where are you getting all this money from?
1 RMC hybrid
2 RMC T-Rex
3 Intamin giga
4 all record breaking
Also a b&m invert would be nice with vest restraints of course.
Kidding chill
You should do six flags great adventure next
Possibly!
Do if i owned Six Flags Over Georgia
1 to 3 ratio ... for every 1 person that does not like the park for whatever reason - 3 more come because that have not been
God damn seeing this park owned by six flags makes me mad I wish this was one of the parks they sold when they were going bankrupt so we could have better management and bigger investments
please by this park. #SaveMyPark!
It’s easy to fix any park by dumping a ton of money into it. The reason they’re not investing in this park is because there isn’t a huge market and they wouldn’t see their ROI (return) from $25 million coaster investments
Not a huge market? Baltimore and DC not big enough? The market is big enough that even Disney wanted to build a park in the proximity
@@XscreamThrills don't forget va
If I owned six flags America I would burn it to the ground
I love batwing tho
SFA has a height limit around like 250
I can settle for something smaller or dig into the terrain to get me height
@@XscreamThrills that is true. I heard that a new CEO may take over the park. This could be good for the park if he takes the job. I hope so.. I'm tired of people crapping on SFA
please do "if I owned Michigan's adventure"
Id need to visit the park first
Great video mang
you should do six flags over ga
I gotta visit the park first
Removing Batwing, the best and most unique coaster in the park 👎! New RMC👍
Can you do this for six flags great America?
Need to visit the park first
1:14 it adds a near miss for wild one!
But it's really out of place now.
@@hebrjebr9130 I guess so
I would remove Mind Eraser
I am voting XScream thrills for owner of this park when they are looking for a new owner
