- On 6/20/2024 I attended the Six Flags America (Bowie, Maryland) media preview of their new steampunk-themed area, SteamTown! The heat was brutal, but I did get to ride SkyWinder (Mind Eraser with new trains and a refreshed track), watch the new ride SteamWhirler run, and explore this surprisingly immersive section of the park. Super impressed with the thought, care, and financial investment that was put into this refresh!
The last time I went to Six Flags America in 2015, Mind Eraser certainly lived up to its name by means of giving me a massive headbanging-induced headache. From your POV the refurbishments seem to mitigate so many of the issues the ride used to have, which is such a breath of fresh air. SLCs have a nice layout, and without the major rattle issue the public can get a good chance to enjoy that.
It's also awesome to see some newfound investment in the park. The coaster and overall amusement lineup is pretty solid, and they're honestly not too far off from recapturing the interest of visitors in DC area.
Yeah, the old restraint system with the hard headrest was brutal. Between the new restraints, new trains, and refurbished track it feels like a totally different ride. So much more enjoyable.
Its been so hot here this last week. The coaster looks like it had a number of improvements made.
Whoa a blast from the past!
Always nice to hear from you, Scott!
@@DarkSideOfDisney You as well!
Wow I might check it out
You definitely should! I think this is a great way for them to get people back into the park.
Saw the rapids, and the water cannons numbered 1- 3 o or 4. They should theme those as well. Put some type of dino over them so it shoots water out of their mouth... That would be cool.
That's actually a great idea!
