Awesome / Six Flags

• Just the commercials with Mr. Six dancing alone have become iconic in their own right.
• Kingda Ka at the Great Adventure park, which stands as the world's tallest roller coaster, at 456 ft. Oh, and it has the world's tallest drop tower attached to it. (although it is kinda a One Trick Pony)
• Also at the Great Adventure park are Nitro and El Toro, both considered to be some of the top coasters in the world. (Although Nitro is similar to Goliath at SFOG and Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens)
  • And the fact that those coasters are in New Jersey. We don't mess around when it comes to summer fun. (After all, we invented the infamous Action Park.)
• The on ride soundtrack for X2 at Magic Mountain deserves a mention. As you leave the station, you hear "It Had to be You" by Harry Connick Jr., but eventually it gets interrupted by static and cuts out. After it cuts out, an ominous voice whispers the ride's name as "Enter Sandman" by Metallica starts playing backed up by several famous movie lines such as "You will not laugh! You will not cry!" and "You can't handle the truth!" Once you reach the top of the lift hill and enter the first drop, the long "gooooiiing dooooooowwwn!" from "Love in an Elevator" by Aerosmith plays which immediately transitions to "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys. Then, when the ride is over and you're waiting to reenter the station, "Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine plays. (when the speaker works, of course).
  • Ride it at night and the awesome factor gets cranked up.
• Bizarro at Six Flags New England (now Superman: The Ride).
• Justice League: Battle for Metropolis in most of the Six Flags Parks. You get to help the Justice League fight The Joker and Lex Luthor. You even become an honorary Justice League member!
• Six Flags Magic Mountain holds the world record for most roller coasters in a single amusement park, with a total of twenty.^list Apocalypse: The Ride, Batman: The Ride, Canyon Blaster, Full Throttle, Gold Rusher, Goliath, Magic Flyer, Ninja, The New Revolution, The Riddler's Revenge, Road Runner Express, Scream, Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers, Superman: Escape from Krypton, Tatsu, Twisted Colossus, Viper, West Coast Racers, Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage, and X2. Additionally, many of these coasters set records in their own right.^list The New Revolution includes the world's first modern vertical loop, Superman: Escape from Krypton was the first roller coaster in the world to reach 100 mph, X2 was the world's first 4D roller coaster, and at the time of their openings, Full Throttle had the world's tallest vertical loop, Goliath had the world's longest drop and fastest speed for a closed-circuit coaster, The Riddler's Revenge was the tallest, fastest, and longest stand-up coaster in the world, and Tatsu was the tallest, longest, and fastest flying roller coaster in the world. Magic Mountain's claim as "the thrill capital of the world" is well deserved.
