Back in the day, each car only used one safety bar, locked over the laps of both riders at about mid-thigh. When I was a kid in the 80s, I felt like I had to hold onto the bar to keep from slipping out. I got a LOT of air during the drops. Even when I last rode it in 1999, a fully grown man at 6'1" and (then) 190 lbs, I would still get a little bit of that thrilling feeling of threat, and a bruise or two to boot. I've never ridden another coaster that was as fun as The Wild One was.

Oh my god this brings back SO many memories! Thank you for posting this! I remember riding this as a kid and my father remembers riding it when he was a kid! I do miss Paragon Park, I'll head down there next time I head to dc!
This is a good "warm-up" rollercoaster. Its not that thrilling but warms you up for the more thrilling ones like jokers jonx or the superman. But this ride is very long, it goes through the whole park!
I went on his ride for the first time on Monday and the experience was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I was my first time on a real roller coaster and I don't know if I would go on it again.
is it possible for the workers to speed up the rides? because i went yesterday and i felt like this and roar were ten times faster like on turns we were going full speed we never slowed down. i have been on a lot of wood roller coasters and never have been this fast, it was fun but very fast
haha i rememeber me and my friend were irritated cause the people in line were annoying and it was taking too long and we thought the ride was gonna suck but it was like really fun neither of us expected that so we were totalyl pwnd.
My first tide ever last year(im 12 turning 13) so I was frigin scared but this year Ima try my luck with all the rides except mind eraser that's scary.drew Freeman muddle school feild trip may 8 wooo.
@pokemonXnarutoNEO I think that Superman is way more scary the The Mind eraser, even though I have never been on Superman, but i have been on mind eraser and it is not that scary. (BTW I am a 13 year old girl who is scared of rollercoasters.)
I got on it few months back after not being on it for a LONG time. I know about this ride back when Six Flags was called Adventure World. (Wild World for others!) My opinion, this video doesn't capture all of it's essence, but Grandpa still got it as I like to say!!!
Good air time and crazy dips and turns!! I couldn't believe it after so long!! LOLOL!!
When you went up that lift hill at night overlooking the ocean at Nantasket Beach it was breathtaking. It also seemed like it took forever to reach the top of the lift hill! But when you did, the rest was all airtime and banging into the person beside you if you sat in the very rear car. This coaster when it was at Paragon {Paragone} Park was the best in the country. It was best to ride it after a good rain as well. Those memories will never be forgotten. Thanks for the post, Rob/Boston
The Wild One IS NOT AT SIXFLAGS America IT IS AT SIX FLAGS Six Flags America, Baltimore/Washington, DC ITS NOT american eagle BUT IS AT Six Flags Great America, Chicago
Great coaster and great memories. I grew up near Nantasket and loved the coaster. I took a trip to Maryland in the 90's just to ride it again. It's good to see this video, it brings back a lot of memories of good times.
It seems so sad to see this roller coaster in another part of the country. This used to be in my hometown of Hull, MA. But I'm glad our old friend is still alive and well.
i think the last part of the ride is not the same. plenty of good times on that ride at paragon park. im glad they saved it, but wish it never left home. great job at filming the ride. brought back some good memories.
unlocktender - I think I know what you mean about the ending being different. Do you mean the circle? Then again, I think I DO remember it somehow. Or, prehaps it was part of the track that was always there - but didn't work anymore? I remember an abandoned racing car ride that was near the tail end of the coaster...
There was a fire back when it was in Nantasket and it damaged the last loop. Instead of repairing it they just changed the layout of the track. When they moved the coaster to Maryland they restored the coaster to the full design with the loop at the end.
this is an amazing ride
