04 · The parks

What each one is.

Six Flags America

Six Flags America sits in Bowie, Maryland, between Washington D.C. and Baltimore. The coaster line-up includes Superman: Ride of Steel (a 205-foot hyper coaster), Wild One wooden coaster, Joker's Jinx multi-launch coaster, Ragin' Cajun spinning coaster, and Batwing flying coaster. A Hurricane Harbor water park is included with admission during summer.

DC and Baltimore weekend visits, Maryland school holidays, and the Fright Fest event drive most of the park's busy days. Weekdays in May, September and October stay dramatically calmer, with queue times on most coasters dropping to 10 minutes or less. Check live wait times for Superman and Wild One on arrival, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd date for shorter waits across the coaster line-up.

Six Flags Frontier City

Frontier City sits in Oklahoma City and is the smallest of the Six Flags parks, themed around an Old West town. The coaster line-up includes Steel Lasso, Silver Bullet (a Vekoma corkscrew), Diamond Back (a shuttle-style coaster), Wildcat wooden coaster, and Mystery River Log Flume. A White Water Bay water park operates at a separate nearby site during summer.

Oklahoma school holidays, US summer weekends and the Fright Fest event drive Frontier City's peak crowds. Weekdays outside school breaks stay very quiet, often with walk-on queue times. Check live wait times on arrival and use our crowd calendar to pick a midweek visit - Frontier City pairs well with a road-trip stop rather than a destination-park holiday.
