    I'm really glad to see Great America finally getting the respect it deserves. It's been my homepark for nearly 30 years and I've never once had a bad time there. Maxx Force really grows on you the more you ride it but it's understandable to feel underwhelmed at it's short layout.

    As someone who has proudly claimed Six Flags Magic Mountain as my home park for more than 30yrs, I'm very proud to see it at the top of the list lol. Can't go wrong with Magic Mountain 🤷🏽‍♀️
    Everyone needs to come and experience our great MM at least once if they like Six Flags and love coasters. If ya ever run into me there, I also give lots of great information about the park and the rides, I'm so proud to still call it my home park and take so much pride it in lol. I do wanna experience some of the other parks, however. Great Adventure has always been one of the others that I really would like to check out, and Over Texas just because it is a historical park, being it's the very first one in the chain. Think I'll take a trip up North and do Discovery Kingdom first since it's just a few hours' drive or even a 1hr or so flight up from LA. Then branch out from there.
    Great video thanks for sharing! I KNEW Great Adventure and MM were gonna be SOMEWHERE in the top 3, just didn't know which order.

    Six Flags great adventure was my number one Six Flags park for a very long time. Two years ago I got to great America for the first time. Within hours it was my favorite. Like you said, no obnoxious policies, great atmosphere, great rides, great ops… I was in love. It felt so welcoming. To me great adventure feels like a gigantic carnival, but Great America felt like home.

    As someone who has Over Texas as their home park, how much you'll like our coasters depends on how much you like intensity. We're LOADED with positive g machines, and if you like that you'll adore our collection. But if you prefer airtime, I can see why you'd think it's mediocre.

    Despite six flags America's low ranking, this park is technically the definition of a six flags park. Decent waterpark, long coaster gap, very light theming, ads on every corner, meh food, a lot of clones, and Six Flags America is that amusement park that you visit once, maybe twice a year. The other six flags parks are either decently themed, have solid coaster line ups, are full of animals, have more than enough meh wooden coasters, or are straight up garbage (la ronde)

    Of The Six Flags Parks I've been to. I almost 100% Agree with this list.
    8. Darien Lake
    7. St. Louis
    6. Over Texas
    5. Over Georgia
    4. New England
    3. Fiesta Texas
    2. Great Adventure
    1. Great America
    The edge for me for St. Louis over Darien lake is Ride of Steel is the only thing at Darien Lake I wanted to ride over and over (Tantrum wasn't built yet on my last visit.) At St. Louis I was a fan of American Thunder, Batman, Mr. Freeze, Screamin' Eagle, and I'm a huge fan of The Boss. The more versatile collection gives it the win for me.

    As someone who 's only been to Discovery Kingdom, I think your ranking is justified. The rest of the lineup above it seems to be better than what we have over here, and I'll try my best to be able to visit more themeparks, but Discovery Kingdom for me is a great park that has a good coaster lineup (minus Kong, even the staff jokes on it) mixed with some good secondary attractions. The animals are fine, but there's not a single person I know of that goes there for them. The park will always hold a special place in my heart regardless of what happens.

  • @GaComicsnMore

    Thanks for giving my home park (Over Georgia) some love. There's so much potential. History of being the second ever Six Flags, a lot of natural elevation changes through the park with the landscape of the location which I think gives it more character as opposed to a giant flat concrete jungle.
    Here's a video idea of a 10 year plan for over Georgia.
    1. Axis launch coaster or any launch coaster. (In the need for speed)
    2. Mack Power Splash or the Intamin ultra splash? If I remember correctly. It's Georgia, it's hot. (near goth city, great area but no shade or water attractions near)
    3. Convert Georgia Scorcher from Standup to a Floorless coaster. It is actually a good Standup coaster, yes, they do exist. Floorless could only enhance a good ride to a great little experience. The "Feet to the fire" slogan they use would play much better also.
    4. RMC The Great American Scream Machine. And no, not like you think. It's a classic. Just have RMC go old school and retrack it. I think the smoothness from RMC track could potentially unlock some nice air time on this wooden classic. And get rid of the beating you take. Though not as bad as it used to be with Mindbenders old trains now in use. But still bad.
    5. Giga RMC T-REX or the incoming manufacturing clone designs you know are gonna be happening. At the end of this 10 year plan this design will have been around for a while and perfected in experience and cost of build. With a savings of back to back remodels over new coasters. They can put those savings to work. Plus park is due a big hitter in the coaster line up.
    Two-year gap between each coaster and coaster remodel.

It wasn't until 2013 when I went to SFGAm that I found out what I was truly missing. Great America is now my home park and it brings me so much joy to see you rank it 2! It's such a well rounded park. It's great for both families and thrill seekers and has some of my favorite coasters of all time (can't get enough of the bull back row).

(Basically, this means that we on my ride operate so well, so fast and safe, that they now compare all other rides in the other parks to us, and make others live up to our standards)

I was sure that it was going to end up at number 2 or possibly even 3. I'm also not surprised because... it's Magic Mountain. We basically have an answer to anything you throw at us. It may not always be a better answer, but it's at least a pretty good answer. Plus, it was your home park. It's easy to both attack and defend your home because it's your own to do with.

    I went to six flags for the first time this weekend and I had such a blast. I went to the one in St. Louis and those rollercoasters were more intense than anything I’d ever ridden. While scary, it truly was awesome. I definitely will try to hit more

    I’ll take #6 for my home park. I’ve never been to any other Six flags only over Georgia and I probably never will go to any other but I expected over Georgia to be at this rank. I appreciate this and I’m glad you enjoyed your visits! Out of the 30+ times I’ve been in my life I’ve had all different kinds of experiences but it’s my home and I love it!

    Example: Replace Goliath with a B&M Hyper

    I was there when joker’s jinx broke down in April 2017 and stranded riders on the track, just about 10 minutes after I got off the ride. I noticed that the ride’s launch and the ride itself was slower than usual. That explains why it didn’t take long for it to break down.

    For me, SFFT would be #2 behind (probably) Great Adventure, but I also have bias since it’s my home park. For me, it looks to have one of the most well rounded experiences of all the Six Flags parks. I can’t fairly rank most of them, but the ones I have been to are fun but have flaws. Even SFFT I’m not crazy about the lineup, but with Dr Diabolical we’ll have 3 great coasters (IRat, Dr D, and Goliath) and then some solid ones too (SKC, Batman, and Pandemonium) and the rest are meh. So not the strongest lineup, but makes up for it in other areas

    The reason other parks are not as strict as Great Adventure on loose articles is because of New Jersey laws, not Six Flags Corporate. After the incidents with Toro and Ka, the state of New Jersey came up with loose article policies for their bigger and more intense coasters.

    I actually really liked St Louis. It’s got a nice atmosphere and charm to it and I had a super fun time. And this was during Holiday In The Park, which means Boss and Screamin Eagle weren’t even open. I think I would enjoy it more than SFOG and SFOT if those 2 rides were open

    I think great adventures lineup peaked in 2006, when they still had The Chiller and El Toro & Ka were brand new. Growing up I thought their lineup was really interesting and was deep but since losing the chiller the park became a bit top heavy without alot of interesting depth. It's still good but I do feel nostalgic with how it was back then

    When Dr. Diabolical Cliffhanger opens in Six Flags Fiesta Texas, it might deserve a top 3 spot - topping Great Adventure. Don't forget, it has a pretty decent water park attached to it, which has great rides too, like Thunder Rapids.
