Six Flags
This is a cool place, they have a water park as well as the amusement park. There are lots of roller coasters.  Screaming Eagle, The Boss and American Thunder are wooden roller coasters.   They have a great water ride.  I saw a grown man had peed his pants on the Highland Fling.  That was the last time I rode that ride for the day as I'm not sure they wiped off the seat and I don't know where he sat.  I also saw an old Grandpa with a cane ride this, but he loved it.  So it just depends what kind of rides you are into. There is a section of the park for little kids, with playgrounds and smaller rides.  The thing about Six Flags is that you don't want to carry anything that can't fit in your pockets.  You have to put your stuff in lockers that cost $1 per ride or $5 for a few hours.  This gets old quick.  I'd bring your cell phone, an ID and a credit card.  Leave everything else in your car.  You can bring water into the park, but that's it.  All backpacks are searched and they will take away your snacks. This year we went on a Friday, it wasn't too crowded, but next year we might try to go earlier in the week.

The Boomerang, this was the scariest roller coaster I was tall enough to go on.  There were 2 other roller coasters that I was too short for.  I'll try next year.

They have a lot of carnival games. You can win a squid hat or a friendly looking fish.
