This coaster has a special place in my childhood!!! I was so scared of it when I was really young. But once I was tall enough I decided to go for it and I loved it. Since then it’s a tradition, a must ride when I visit OC MD . At the top you’re overlooking the ocean at night and it feels like you’re hanging over the edge of the island. Truly nostalgic!!
I went on the exact coaster years ago at the Six Flags in New York. It was the grand opening of the coaster. At the time it was their biggest coaster. My two friends and I sat in the front. However after we dropped and went into the loop it stopped. We were stuck upside down for almost 25 mins. The local news crew captured it all in video. We had to wait until rescue came and got us out. Then the park gave us free passes to ride it again
This coaster has been here for years and I remember crying cause I was too young and short to ride. I was 3 at the time. But i got a picture of my little self next to the coaster when they had this smaller coaster i think called the rocket.
It's a Lilttle bad and fun at the same time. Just make sure if you get on It, don't go in the rear. That farther you go back, the more scarier it gets. Lol. Hope u enjoy the ride.
I rode every seat on the Tidal Wave and from experience the last car is the roughest due to the fact that there is no car behind it to stabilize it but you have a better view of Ocean City at the top of lift hill #1. The best place to ride for someone who has never rode is the middle cars.
