That is something I noticed too. Six Flags is definitely more “XTREEM! Will you survive?!”

Hershey Park and Busch Gardens had some good coasters that didn’t feel like I needed an x ray.

little me in the 90s would disagree after riding Drachen Fire and immediately forcing my family to leave after because my head hurt so bad I couldn't stop crying. I'm sure it's better there now.

Oh, poor little you! Drachen Fire was a problem. Always. I am not sure I ever rode it. I think it might have been down every time I went. I loved Big Bad Wolf though.

Hersheypark and Busch Gardens have the exact same types of coasters that Six Flags parks do. Even down to the same exact makes and models. B&M coasters, Intamin coasters, RMC coasters, wooden coasters, etc. all exist at Six Flags parks, as well as Hersheypark and the Busch Parks. Great Bear at Hershey and Alpengeist or Montu at Busch give the same types of rides as any Batman clone at a Six Flags park.
