BOWIE, Md. — Six Flags America announced today the details of park enhancements that guests can look forward to during the 2025 season. Guests can expect an expanded ride offering, faster and smoother ride operations and enhancements throughout the property including new food items and updated entertainment that guests can experience for the first time during Spring Break week, this week.

“We’ve spent the off-season working to elevate our guest experience with notable improvements across many areas of the park,” said Ramar Vaughan, general manager of Six Flags America. “Guests can expect shorter wait times, building improvements, and a more enjoyable park ambiance throughout the 2025 season.”

The 2025 enhancements include:

Rides

  • SUPERMAN: Ride of Steel – The park’s 207-foot-tall signature roller coaster will be equipped with two new trains, one of which is already in place on the ride. The second train will be added later this summer to increase capacity and reduce wait time for guests.

  • Riddle Me This – This classic spinning ride has been refurbished and will reopen later this spring following a hiatus in 2024.
  • Shipwreck Falls – Refurbishments to this classic water ride are underway, and it is expected to drench guests once again later this spring.
