Ms. Siebeneicher said that those wearing the hijab were advised to exercise caution on Six Flags' most "extreme" ride, the Kingda Ka, a 45-story roller coaster that she said was the tallest in the world and the fastest in North America, going from zero to 128 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds.

They had the classics like the Starship 2000, a flying saucer bumping with a Pitbull inside that spins fast enough to lay sideways on the walls without falling; the Ring of Fire, a roller coaster made entirely out of a single upside-down loop; and less-extreme rides in the kids section, like a fire truck on a rotating arm ridden by a single creepy middle-aged dude in sunglasses.
