Wild One is a wooden roller coaster located at Six Flags America in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, USA. It was relocated from Paragon Park where it stood as Giant Coaster from 1917 to 1985.

History

Six Flags America (then known as Wild World) purchased the roller coaster from Paragon Park for $28,000 at auction. Charles Dinn oversaw the transportation and reconstruction of the roller coaster, which took 16 trucks. As part of the project, a 540-degree helix was added to the end of the ride, increasing its length from 3,400 feet to 4,000 feet. It reopened as Wild One in 1986.
