The Wild One, once known as the Giant, was a beloved wooden coaster that transitioned from Paragon Park in Hull, Massachusetts, to Maryland in the 1980s. Thrilling generations of riders, it has become an integral part of coaster history. As Six Flags America plans to close its doors, there is uncertainty over the ride's fate. Local historian Christopher Haraden expresses hope for the Wild One's preservation, recalling nostalgic memories tied to its legacy and the park that created it.
"You have to laugh a little bit at the turns that life takes. But, 40 years ago, we thought it was the end and it wasn't."
