Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

[Blind Idiot GodI think Intamin should make a donkey!]

They don't do assigned seating on Batman all the time; if you're lucky, you'll catch them on a day where they don't care and will let you do whatever.

So my SFNE went well yesterday. Light crowds all day long. We got Bizarro and Goliath done right at the start of the day and just kind of floated around the park after that. Most rides where walk ons except for Bizarro which was 15 minutes and Goliath which was an hour. (the new ride plus normal GIB problems) It was hot as hell in the morning but after a storm closed down all of the rides for about an hour and a half at around mid day it cooled down and was really nice. We watched the magic show while it was raining, it was pretty cool. I always love live shows. The pace for the day was pretty relaxed and we ended up leaving at around 7:30 after a 2 hour Bizarro marathon.

Ride count for the day:
Goliath - 1x
Flashback - 1x
Thunderbolt - 1x
Cyclone - 1x
Gotham City Gauntlet - 1x
Mind Eraser - 1x (never again)
Dark Knight - 4x (2 front)
Bizarro - 10x (3 front, 2 back)

I have to say Six Flags New England is a nice little park. I really liked all of the old buildings from the Riverside days and the history behind the park. Plus Bizarro is probably my number one steel coaster now. It’s basically the right mix of everything and a close to prefect coaster in my opinion.

The seasonal operation at SFNE will hopefully make Goliath more reliable than it was at SFMM. I did not find it overly reliable, as it has only been open about half the times I've visited Magic Mountain.

I miss Deja Vu, It was a fun ride! I agree the seasonal operation should enable the proper maintenance to keep the ride open during SFNE's shorter season. This ride does require more down time than other roller coasters to keep it maintained.

I really like the landscaping and such around Goliath, that is a nice touch!

[KoasterDanDonkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

The landscaping of Goliath looks a lot better, and more appealing than green water, and run down props from the days of Shipwreck Falls.

Edit: Six Flags New England will be getting the world's largest star flyer! They said it at the meeting. It'll probably be 390-400 ft tall! There's a zoning board meeting Monday I believe, and as long as it passes that SFNE will be on track to make a record holder for 2013.

Link is here.

^Wow, I hope the zoning board approves it on the 23rd. The fact that they're only 6 miles from the end of the runway at Bradley International Airport may be a problem.

SFNE, especially the North End, isn't really in the line of flight. Is it? It doesn't appear to be. Then again, I'm not a pilot.

[Jerrykoala2112Jo My Oh!]

Not sure it it was posted already, but this is the site plan for the 385ft tower!

[coasterbillIf the donkey is rockin, don't come knockin!]

If I'm looking at this correctly, I would think they'll need to remove the skycoaster. Is that correct or am I looking at this wrong?

The Sky Coaster will be removed with the building of the Star Flyer.

^^ A 385 foot Star Flyer! OMFG that is scary! That's taller then the one in Austria! Agawam better approve this (they most likely won't knowing them ).
