    Mind Eraser @ Six Flags | Coaster Reviews
    A Review of Mind Eraser & Its Many Clones The concept of Vekoma’s Suspended Looping Coaster (SLC) is a great one. It’s a compact inverted roller coaster(even though the model name has ’suspended’ in it) with riders fixed below a tangle of twisted track. They are popular additions at theme parks with about 30 clones or slight variations around the globe. I’ve...

      Six Flags: Bankrupt & Better Than Ever?
      The writing’s been on the wall for quite some time, but Six Flags finally filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on Friday. The bankruptcy comes as $2.4 billion in debt is being carried on the park’s books. Current CEO Mark Shapiro explains that the bankruptcy is a measure that’s being taken due to the hole that the previous management put the company in. I don’t think that this is ...

        Six Flags America Teases Big Announcement
        While it’s a little late for 2009 announcements, Six Flags America (Largo, Maryland) is teasing a big announcement on their Facebook page.  So, what could the announcement be? Could We Finally See Ultra Twister at Six Flags America? I’d be really surprised if the announcement is a new roller coaster, unless it’s Ultra Twister. I haven’t been in years, but I didn’t th...

          Six Flags America to Sell Two Face
          Six Flags America’s Troubled Two Face Coaster Up for SaleAfter numerous high-profile breakdowns, Six Flags America located near Washington D.C., has decided to sell Two Face: The Flip Side. With at least three break downs in only a few years, Two Face hasn’t helped the park’s already sub par image. Two face is an inverted shuttle roller coaster where riders face each other while...

            Fire Burns Down Haunted House @ Six Flags America
            Haunted House Burns Down at Six Flags AmericaSix Flags America, located just east of Washington DC, has had its share of accidents in the past few years. Riders have been stuck on the Two Face roller coaster three times in the last 2 years. And last August a girl fell from a flat ride. This doesn’t include the criminal activity that has occurred at the park. Six Flags America Had A Haunted H...

              Superman: Ride of Steel | Six Flags America
              Superman: Ride of Mediocrity | Six Flags AmericaThis is by far the most ho-hum hyper coaster around. As coasters go, it’s not a complete failure, but compared to other hyper coasters it’s in the back of the class. The fact that this Superman at Six Flags America (near Washington D.C.) is even made by the same designers that built a masterpiece in another Superman: Ride of Steel located...
