The Wild One, Wooden roller coaster in Prince George's County, Maryland, United States.
The Wild One features a chain lift reaching 98 feet high, followed by an 88-foot drop and multiple hills throughout its 4,000-foot track length.
Originally built in 1917 at Paragon Park in Massachusetts, this roller coaster was relocated to Six Flags America in 1986 after being purchased at auction.
The American Coaster Enthusiasts designated The Wild One as a Coaster Landmark in 2018, recognizing its contribution to roller coaster engineering.
The roller coaster operates with two trains simultaneously, each carrying 24 passengers arranged in four cars with three rows of two seats.
During its relocation to Six Flags America, engineers added a 540-degree helix to extend the original track from 3,400 feet to 4,000 feet.
