SteamTown is a Victorian-era steampunk universe themed section at Six Flags America in Woodmore, Maryland. It opened on June 22, 2024, replacing the former Coyote Creek section of the park.[1]

Backstory

[edit]

"After many years as a bustling mining town, the gold of Coyote Creek had dried up. A new, mystery investor has come to town and has big plans for the abandoned location."

Professor Screamore was unveiled as the mystery buyer, transforming it with his fantastical inventions.

History

[edit]

Before SteamTown, the area it now stands on was previously, a Coyote Creek theme area from 1994 until 2022. In 2022, Coyote Creek was closed and transformed to SteamTown in 2024 as a new original theme that included a new ride and attractions called SteamWhirler and SteamHeist. Other rides were rebranded, such as the Mind Eraser and Renegade Rapids.[1]
