REVERCHON RE-DEUX…read more "Welcome back my friends, to the spinning that never ends...." ((editor's note: the header likely makes zero sense to non-coaster people, so allow me to explain. Reverchon is the designer of this cookie cutter model, it was relocated from my local Six Flags, and this particular version has a Mardi Gras/Creole theme, ergo the unusual spelling of "re-do". Didja get all that? Good. Moving on.)) This wild mouse coaster previously called Gurnee, Illinois its home, where it was beloved by many enthusiasts who knew how to work the ride to their advantage. But since it was moved here to mid-Maryland they got rid of the cool entry façade themed like a building from New Orleans' French Quarter. The cars are fairly cramped and if you aren't sitting with someone next to you, your ass will literally be sliding all over the place (which is WAY more painful than it sounds). The trick to this -- and any other spinning coaster -- is to unevenly load weight in the car. By concentrating all of the mass onto either the far left or far right side, you're basically forcing momentum in that direction, which will result in far more free spinning than otherwise. Potential energy: it's simple physics, people. Even armed with this knowledge, you might still get some irregular motion, so basically the ride's a total crapshoot. The hairpin turns on the upper level are fun, as is the surprise bump on the lower level toward the very end of the ride, and the middle section can deliver some solid spinning sensations as mentioned above. Unfortunately, because of low rider throughput the lines can get damn long. Eric S's SFA Coaster Ranking = 8th out of 8. + coaster review in 40 words or less + It CAN be a whole heap of fun, but it's not unique and Ragin' Cajun still feels very much like a cheap pair of hand-me-down pants with a hole in the crotch. With slow moving lines, this one's skippable.

Good starter ride. Lots of twists and turns…read more Good for kids and people who don't like the big and crazy rides.

This was definitely my favorite ride in the park…read more From the fast acceleration into the twisting maze of track to the overall smooth ride of controlled chaos, it was, without a doubt, the top ride in the park. I rode it 3 times during my visit since I enjoyed it so much!

11/1/19 One of the first blast of rollercoasters I have been…read moreon. I believe this is the first blast coaster I experienced. Since then, I have been on many other blast coasters. On 8 May 1999 I heard advertisements for The Joker's Jinx . I remember I didn't like the ads for the ride, but I knew I would certainly ride this ride. The day I went to the park, I rode many rides, because I know the line for this ride would be long no matter what time I went. When I finally arrived to the ride, the line was long, but there were refreshments for those in line. The lemonade hit the spot and I had plenty of time before I rode the ride to get the fluid into my system. When I saw the paint job for the Joker, I never thought emerald green and purple went well together, BUT THEY DO. Oh, I was young back then. I even bought a Joker's Jinx tee shirt. At that time I wore a large tee shirt. I don't remember what happened to the shirt, but I know I through...no...I believe I gave it to good will. When I finally got to the gated area, you had to pass by several mirrors that made you look distorted. For my first experience I went straight to the back where I had to wait a little longer. Why, because the rear is tighter? Because I like it in the rear? Or because the rear of the car is the fastest. This answer is the best answer. The front is the slowest, but the rear end gets pushed forwards because of the force of the front of the car. The middle seats are a natural point. In this case since it is a blast coaster it pretty much doesn't matter until you feel the rear end of the car moving faster from the pulling of the rest of the cars. The spiraling looks to the side way turns make this rollercoaster a lot of fun. Listening to one of the operator say "Hands Up, hands up, I wanna see your hands." Once everyone's hands were up, he would hit the go button and everyone in the coaster cars would shoot forwards. I would love to say The Joker's Jinx started the blast coasters craze, but it wouldn't be true. Still, I had a lot of fun. This ride is a steel ride and steel rides have been know to be smoother than the wooden rollercoasters. I wouldn't mind going on this ride again. I would call this a high thrill ride.

I enjoyed learning knife and ninja star throwing. The variety of weapons kept the games fun. My friend and I alternated between a traditional target, tic-tac-toe, and zombie target practice. Being the first appointment of the day, we got to choose the music genre. I liked that after safety and lessons, you're free to play any game. The digital boards made keeping score easy, and we could go at our own pace. Overall, we had a great time.

This experience was so fun. This was the second time that I went to a paint splatter room, and I…read morecan honestly say that this one was better. I booked the room for two and with taxes it was about $63 for the same experience and other rooms you are looking at $70 or more for two. The staff were very pleasant and gave us thorough instructions. They also have a tablet available for you to choose Spotify songs of your choice. The music sounds so great coming through the speakers. You are given 25 minutes to paint in a dark/black light room. They give you paint brushes, a canvas, a few colors of paint and some objects to use to make different designs. The objects in my opinion didn't really work in the way that they were probably intended to. However, they gave a decent amount of paint and we had a ball! Towards the last five minutes, they give you some paint guns in which you can have a battle with your friends or spray the walls if desired. If you are into axe throwing, they also have that available.

Happy 103rd Birthday to the Wild One!…read more This has to be the oldest coaster I've ever ridden. And yes, being a wooden coaster definitely has its challenges. However, I do think this is a great ride. Anyone who rides a wooden coaster definitely knows they are on the rougher side vs a more modern coaster.

For being 100 years old I really expected this coaster to be all bad like super rough and yeah but that wasn't the case on my ride in the front row as I felt it was decently smooth for being this old and wooden! I'm pretty sure this is the oldest coaster I've ever ridden and I take that into consideration when I justify the roughness of the ride as for being this old it's not that bad it's good to see that Six Flags America is keeping this 100 year old coaster in this good of condition in our nations capitol! Overall I expected a lot less of this ride and what I found on this very day is a great old school coaster that's still kicking it 100 years later so make sure you get to ride it as you never know what might happen to it in the future with all these new Hybrid Coasters popping up!
