Field Notes: Six Flags – Upper Marlboro, Maryland

Isaac Kremer/ December 22, 2018/ Field Notes, Physical, placemaking/ 0 comments

In 1985 the coaster was purchased and moved from Wild World in Massachusetts to Maryland. The helix at the end of the ride was rebuilt to replace on that had burned in Massachusetts. Maximum height was 98 feet, length 4000 feet, and maximum speed 60 mph. The track was re-profiled in 1997 to allow the installation of the Typhoon Sea Coaster. This modification changed the back turn and allowed the new Philadelphia Toboggan Company Trains.
