I'm torn on how to rate this. The park, itself is a decent park and decent pricing as if they know what it is. It's not much but it has potential. The biggest problem is a clear management problem with no employee culture , values, or identity. I have never seen such a low personality, lack of effort , uncaring entire group of employees in one company, ever. From station to station at this park, every single employee has zero effort or concern. It is worse than the Walmart or McDonald's employee comparisons. A robot would be better because it can at least be programmed to acknowledge a situation or another human. Just an overall dead personality group of employees from entry and ride to ride. No communication skills. No service ability. No basic human interaction. This is a leadership problem. It starts with hiring so a leader needs to get creative if they're struggling to find the right candidates who can perform the duties as expected. Then you need to create a culture and have expectations; however, there must be accountability to those expectations. If it was a couple of dead-faced interactions here and there, that would be OK. It wasn't.....it was a non smiling, say the minimum amount of words possible (if any words at all) , low interaction and social skills from every single interaction at this park. The 5 star reviews must be their friends or must not have tried to speak with anyone or ask questions like "hi, do you happen to know where the nearest water fountain is".....and recieve an abrupt "i'o'n't know" and then they walk past you. I could give several details but only worth sharing to someone in...

It was a hot day, but unless you are going to water park, there was no misters and only one water ride that I saw. So plan ahead for the heat, if you are going in the summertime.
I highly suggest getting there 30 minutes before the park opens, as it sometimes opens early, and this means getting a few rides in while the park is nearly empty. I also suggest purchasing tickets and parking online. As the ticket booths were not open when the gates opened.
If you live local, the season passes are a great value and can provide additional benefits. But, while my kids may enjoy that option I was bored within a few hours.
I honestly wish they ran more trams from the parking lot, as the hike to and from the parking lot leaves an easy to deliver bookended experience after a long day of hiking around the park. If you are going early, I suggest accounting for the hike...
Read moreEverything was nice. I haven't been to six flags in nearly 20 years. It was pretty cool. However, the only thing that I ask that they clean up is the bathroom graffiti and fix some of the stalls that had broken locks on them. But otherwise it seemed fine.
I'm a big DC comic nut so I was overjoyed to see that they had built a life-size Hall of Justice. Unfortunately my camera does not do it justice.
By the way six flags if you ever read my review, knock it off with the prices. You guys make millions of dollars a year and you want like $20 for ice cream, $17 for pizza, $5.50 for one single 16 oz Coke? And then you wonder why people sneak drinks and food in. I understand that you need to make money but you're literally charging almost four times the asking price at any convenience store. 1.5 times is understandable but you're asking way too much in your acting like you're better than everybody else. Quit it.
But it's not like you're going to listen...
