This was definitely my favorite ride in the park…read more From the fast acceleration into the twisting maze of track to the overall smooth ride of controlled chaos, it was, without a doubt, the top ride in the park. I rode it 3 times during my visit since I enjoyed it so much!

11/1/19 One of the first blast of rollercoasters I have been…read moreon. I believe this is the first blast coaster I experienced. Since then, I have been on many other blast coasters. On 8 May 1999 I heard advertisements for The Joker's Jinx . I remember I didn't like the ads for the ride, but I knew I would certainly ride this ride. The day I went to the park, I rode many rides, because I know the line for this ride would be long no matter what time I went. When I finally arrived to the ride, the line was long, but there were refreshments for those in line. The lemonade hit the spot and I had plenty of time before I rode the ride to get the fluid into my system. When I saw the paint job for the Joker, I never thought emerald green and purple went well together, BUT THEY DO. Oh, I was young back then. I even bought a Joker's Jinx tee shirt. At that time I wore a large tee shirt. I don't remember what happened to the shirt, but I know I through...no...I believe I gave it to good will. When I finally got to the gated area, you had to pass by several mirrors that made you look distorted. For my first experience I went straight to the back where I had to wait a little longer. Why, because the rear is tighter? Because I like it in the rear? Or because the rear of the car is the fastest. This answer is the best answer. The front is the slowest, but the rear end gets pushed forwards because of the force of the front of the car. The middle seats are a natural point. In this case since it is a blast coaster it pretty much doesn't matter until you feel the rear end of the car moving faster from the pulling of the rest of the cars. The spiraling looks to the side way turns make this rollercoaster a lot of fun. Listening to one of the operator say "Hands Up, hands up, I wanna see your hands." Once everyone's hands were up, he would hit the go button and everyone in the coaster cars would shoot forwards. I would love to say The Joker's Jinx started the blast coasters craze, but it wouldn't be true. Still, I had a lot of fun. This ride is a steel ride and steel rides have been know to be smoother than the wooden rollercoasters. I wouldn't mind going on this ride again. I would call this a high thrill ride.

This place sucks i've been twice both times I had nothing to do…read morethe first time I went rode all the rides that are mid at best there are no staff you can tell the rides are not maintained enough and the place looks sketchy as heck the second time I went I looked online and they said there were open so I drove there opend the door and looked at the closed sign if your gonna be closed at least say that online before people go out of there way and spend there gas money to go and while there at it spend some money on better rides and some new paint.

I'm sure that going during the off-season did not help this, but it still was not up to par. for the prices you pay for the games there needs to be a faster system. It took forever to process the tap cards. It seemed like their network was a little slow. This place could really be a nice escape if things were a little bit more up-to-date and paid attention to.

Happy 103rd Birthday to the Wild One!…read more This has to be the oldest coaster I've ever ridden. And yes, being a wooden coaster definitely has its challenges. However, I do think this is a great ride. Anyone who rides a wooden coaster definitely knows they are on the rougher side vs a more modern coaster. However if you like roller coasters, it's definitely worth a ride at least once!

For being 100 years old I really expected this coaster to be all bad like super rough and yeah but that wasn't the case on my ride in the front row as I felt it was decently smooth for being this old and wooden! I'm pretty sure this is the oldest coaster I've ever ridden and I take that into consideration when I justify the roughness of the ride as for being this old it's not that bad it's good to see that Six Flags America is keeping this 100 year old coaster in this good of condition in our nations capitol! Overall I expected a lot less of this ride and what I found on this very day is a great old school coaster that's still kicking it 100 years later so make sure you get to ride it as you never know what might happen to it in the future with all these new Hybrid Coasters popping up!

While grabbing a bite to eat at the harbor, I was having a conversation with my friend and I mentioned that I had never been and decided we had to immediately fix that and I must admit I'm glad we did. The staff was friendly and attentive and I enjoyed the beautiful views of D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The total ride was about 15-20 mins (which was all that I needed). Glad I can finally say I've taken a ride on The Capital Wheel.
