BOWIE, MD — Six Flags America will launch its newest attraction this year at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Maryland.

The RipQurl Blaster is a water coaster that takes riders in a raft through three powerful uphill rip currents while zig-zagging through 550 feet of twists and turns. The ride features three stomach-plunging drops, three AquaLucent Hairpin turns and a pitch-black wallhugging helix finale before the final splashdown.

“We are excited to debut RipQurl Blaster, which will be both a thrilling and refreshing experience for guests visiting this summer,” general manager Ramar Vaughan said in a statement. “This is just one of many investments we’re making to be the DMV’s most convenient and enjoyable out-of-home experience for the whole family.
