let me just start out by saying that this was the best day to go. there were no lines (practically). i would have gotten more coasters in if those lazy a** ride ops would actually work! on mind eraser there were two ops with one train running. it took easily 5 minutes for a train to come in the station and depart again. its almost like he was trying to be slow. AND the op behind the controls was ASLEEP! and the other op had to wake her up! i dont expect much from six flags but this was just terrible.
anyway... got to the park at opening and headed straight for superman: ride of steel. me, my bro and my dad got the first ride in the front seat. i just stayed in my seat for the next ride, and the ride after that, i made a quick chinese fire drill for the back. three laps without leaving the train!!! best seat is the back- the air is crazy on the bunny hills and the drop is insanely better than the front.
next was batwing. ive never been on a flyer so this was new to me. this ride was very interesting, and thats what made it so great. and this thing also packs a punch. no wait.
jokers jinx followed with no wait as well. i still cant believe they fit all that track in that small area. a nice ride with a great ending.
next up was roar. this is now my favorite woodie!!! it is sleek and smooth and is alot of fun to ride. no wait for 2 laps, but i must have waited longer at the breaks than the actual ride.
mind eraser was an ok ride. never been on a heartline loop before and i must say its fun. some nice foot choppers, but it is alittle rough, but not as rough as i expected. no wait (except for those lazy ops).
went to the other side of the park by now and got a lap on two face. a very interesting coaster. facing other people is what makes it so great. the girl that was across from me couldnt stop screaming. very funny.
the wild one was next and its a good old woodie. very smooth for being 85 years old. i liked the double up and down toward the turn. nice air and great laterals on the final helix.
by now it was lunch time so we got an overpriced, fried lunch at the hollywood backlot cafe. after lunch, we took it easy and got plenty of rerides. we left the park at 3 for the 3 hr drive back home. overall a good park thats small and still has a nice coaster collection. except for being annoyed at the ops, it was fun. total coasters now- 48.

So would you reccomend a 2 1/2 hour drive from Ocean City Md. To get to this park?
Thanks for reading

I would highly recommend making the trip out to SFA,they've got some great coasters as well as some good flats that would make a visit there worth the trip.
You should check out Joker's jinx,it finally has lap bars instead of the painful OTSR's that it originally had and is definitely worth a spin,I've taken quite a few laps on it in the back row with zero headbanging whatsoever and who knows we just might be getting a B&M next year. =)
