I’m curious if those of you slamming it ever actually went?
I went twice last summer with my kid and had a great time. It was clean , not long lines, felt safe.
It was daytime so maybe it’s different but no issuer except the prices.

I live in PG and had season tickets for several years when my kids were younger. The tickets were affordable and it was great to spend a few hours there anytime we wanted to in the summers, especially with little kids when a whole day at the amusement park would be too tiring.

We don’t have season tickets anymore, but we would still go once or twice a year.

I am an Md. native and went as a child back when it was wild world. Lots of good memories, will definitely miss it.

The land is going to be sold and developed into housing. I’m sure PG will be just fine.


Nobody wants more houses. They want amusement parks! Just good ones.

Like if it were as nice as King's Dominion or Hershey's, it would be absolutely packed every weekend and most weekdays in the summer. Between locals looking for things to do and the enormous number of tourists in the area who would happily tack a day at an amusement park onto a DC visit, especially if it was 30 minutes from downtown, it's a golden opportunity.

They had to TRY to make it that bad. It took work, active neglect. I feel this way about a lot of things in this area.


+1

Kings Dominion is flooded with people all the way from Stafford and the entire central and southern Virginia area every single weekend it is open. Growing up in Fredericksburg almost every family had a season pass. It’s the go to park for people in Eastern NC too, their reach is FAR. Six flags should have been sucking in the entire DC and Baltimore metropolitan areas as well as day trippers from Delaware. What a fumble.

+1 it’s hard to imagine how you fumble the bag that badly on a big amusement park a short drive from DC. But here we are.

I think this is indicative of a larger economic downturn too. Entertainment and travel spending is the first thing to be cut when the economy goes south. If we had stronger economic indicators, they’d probably keep it going a few more summers. Instead they’re just cutting bait now.


Nah. Six Flags has been circling the drain for years. It was only a matter of time

The tickets are too cheap too. And too many unsupervised teens.
