  • Although this John A. Miller designed woodie opened at Six Flags America is 1986, the coaster is actually almost 100 years old. It was built in 1917 at Paragon Park in Massachusetts & was called Giant Coaster before being moved to Maryland. Much of the coaster was redesigned in 1932 after it was partially destroyed by fire & another fire in 1963 destroyed the station, trains, double helix finale & part of the lift hill. The two bunny hops & the helix were removed during that rebuild, but Six Flags restored the coaster as it originally was after the relocation.
    Six Flags America is located near Washington DC in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

      killercoasters my boi this coaster was original to an amusement park in Massachusetts.
      She was transported down the coast to 6 Flags.
      When she was in my home town , I was too young and short to ride her, and then the park closed. She’s already survived so much- And she’s a historical property I believe .

    This was originally at paragon park in the 1970’s it was built in 1917. Even tho it’s in Maryland it will always be a New England coaster. I went to the spot where this originally was in Hull Massachusetts and it’s a hotel and an ice cream booth now.
