Summer Destinations

Every summer, amusement parks reach out to their potential audience (and paid advertisers) to bring thousands of people to their turnstiles. You see leaflets in McDonalds, advertisements in HEB for discount tickets, and contests on the radio boast of a five-pack of Six Flags tickets lucky caller number 23 will win. For those who do not visit Six Flags frequently, it is a large chain of theme parks across the United States (with a few in other non-U.S. locations) that feature tons of attractions for guests of every age and plenty of accommodations along the way.

What does Six Flags have to offer the average roller coaster fanatic?

Huge, creative and every once in a while, brand new, roller coasters to try at all Six Flags theme parks. Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey houses the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster, the Kingda Ka, standing at 456 feet high and hitting speeds over 125 mph.

If you find yourself more into steel corkscrew roller coasters, you can check out roller coasters like the Great American Scream Machine in Six Flags Over Georgia in Atlanta, Georgia, notably one of the world's longest corkscrew roller coasters. In a different neck of the woods? Love wooden roller coasters? Check out Six Flags Fiesta Texas's The Rattler, located in San Antonio. Known for its plunge into a pitch-black tunnel and 180-foot drop, the coaster will rattle your senses for sure.
