Thomas Town, Six Flags America

At Six Flags America in Baltimore this summer, you will find everyone's favorite engine and his friends in a new home. Based on the popular children's book, Thomas the Tank Engine, Thomas Town is overflowing with favorite characters from the Island of Sodor.

Hop aboard Thomas the Tank Engine, departing from Knapford Station, and watch as this fictional world becomes a reality. The replica tank engine travels round-trip around the island. Kids can reach new heights in the Harold the Helicopter ride, which gives them the power to control how high they fly above the town in their very own helicopter.

Bertie the Bus is waiting to take you on a circular journey high into the sky, while Cranky the Crane Tower Ride gives families a thrill from a 30-foot drop tower. Don't miss the chance to meet the controller of the railway, Sir Topham Hatt, in person, and snap a quick photo while you're at it. Other new activities include a Thomas Town Play Structure, a Thomas Town Pop Jet Fountain, a Sodor Carnival Ferris Wheel, and a Knapford Station Shop.

Admission to the park costs $49.99 for adults and $24.99 for kids.
