It's also one of the most over-rated parks ever, but as Mark said, aside from Millenium Force and Dragster, there's nothing else that is really big and brash (or anything bar the usual America style)... 2 rides out of... 15 odd now? Raptor, Mantis, Magnum are all big rides but show something more substanial than that, Gatekeeper fits into this category of big rides, but does that mean there should be more effort that two giant pieces of bare concrete (something Smiler gets hate for interestingly)...
Maverick is spectacular to watch (and to some degree ride, but then Intamin restraints </3) as well, but I just like my rides to have more substance than the EXTREME cookie cutter experience you get at Cedar Fair parks... At least Six Flags theme some of their rides (N.B. this only applies to DC rides)...
