With more than 50 total rides and almost 10 rollercoasters, there are plenty of ways to get your heart pounding at this popular D.C.-area park. If you are craving a classic wooden coaster experience, the one at this park should be exactly what you are looking for. Originally constructed in 1917, this iconic ride features an initial drop of almost 90 feet and speeds of 45 miles an hour around a series of exciting hills, helixes and sharp turns. After just one trip around the tracks, you will understand why this ride has stood the test of time. If more modern thrills are your thing, the epic 200 foot-plus drop and impressive speed and insane inversions of the park's newer rides should certainly do the trick. Just because this family-favorite features so many top-notch rollercoasters does not mean that its younger visitors are left out of the fun. The park features two themed areas that both offer a variety of great kid-sized rides. With attractions ranging from a cartoon-themed prop warehouse play space to a kiddie coaster, there is no shortage of fun for anyone in the family.
