Bowie, MD — August 30, 2023 — Six Flags America is providing public notice today as it announces the “sale” of Coyote Creek and the creation of a transformed realm called SteamTown: Where the Past Meets the Future. Upon entering SteamTown, guests will be greeted by a brand-new signature attraction for the whole family, SteamWhirler. Three fan favorite attractions will be renamed, re-imagined, restored, re-themed and enhanced. New colors, features and effects will adorn the area with the vivid new charm of storytelling. The return of the award-winning Six Flags America stunt show will follow along the new steampunk theme and be home to the area’s mysterious new “investor”. Plus, all-new SteamTown food, beverage and retail options will introduce new tastes, treats and sweets.
“SteamTown is an important step in our major, multi-year investment in guest experience and park improvement,” said Six Flags America General Manager Ramar Vaughan. “We are excited for all of the new experiences and enhancements that SteamTown will provide and look forward to sharing more details ahead of the official realm opening next summer.”
