Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

[JakizleI had sex with N-Tag before you did.]

Agreed. The brakes on the latter half are an affront to the SPIRIT OF THRILL. Who is very nice and hangs out at my place on Tuesdays. Also, a much less significant change: I for one don't like how they rearranged the line a couple years back. I really liked that little tunnel under the ride that let out by the Scrambler for some reason. Probably the photo booth.

Dude I too noticed this between my visits in 2005 and 2008! The old line was so much better IMO.

2 weeks until Bizarro Bash! and Im also just as excited for Cyclone as Bizarro. Can't wait!

[ThunderheadThe best thing about TPR is the donkeys.]

Cyclone ended up being my 100th... And I was sorely disappointed. I found it unpleasent, and almost airless. Meh.

If the unlikely rumor that Deja Vu comes to SFNE proves true, do you think that it'd replace Flashback or act as the "Green Lantern" of SFNE on the other side of the park?

[redsd2121Can I park my donkey here?]

Rumor has it that Deja Vu is replacing Ship Wreck Falls. Which makes the rumor even more insane because then flashback is no more than 1000 feet down the midway. I want it to go in the south end, AWAY from flashback. Also, I never realized how giant GIB's are. They're only like 15-20 feet shorter than Bizarro.

[xmichellexI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

I'm all for new coasters at SFNE, but I just don't see this one fitting in... although, I would take Deja Vu over Flashback any day. Maybe they don't consider the coasters to be similar enough to matter? I'm having a hard time believing this will happen.

[acq10uazHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

It's going to replace Shipwreck Falls, likely with a western theme to it.

I honestly wish that Flashback would be replaced if we got Deja Vu. I'm sure another Six Flags park could use it. However, Flashback had quite a bit of downtime during my visits last year. Maybe I just caught it on a bad day, but the ride had several breakdowns when I walked by it.

However, it would make sense if it replaced Shipwreck Falls. Whenever I walk by Shipwreck Falls, it is always a walk-on, even on really hot days. Some of that can be attributed to the fact that the entrance is a bit hidden, but the ride just isn't as popular as it used to be due to the park's massive water park.

Adding Deja Vu to the Crackaxle Canyon would be great since it would be that area's first roller coaster and increase traffic flow to the area.

[xmichellexI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

^ I've had similar downtime experiences with Flashback every time I went to the park, even a few years ago. I wouldn't mind seeing that thing gone, it really adds nothing to the park. If SFNE can keep Deja Vu up and running efficiently, then I think it would be a good addition, especially to that area...

Actually, if I'm really wishing about replacing rides, keep Flashback and put Deja Vu in place of Mind Eraser...

[redsd2121Can I park my donkey here?]

I want Mind Eraser to stay. Yeah, it hurts. But its still a let of fun to ride.and it draws a lol of people. Take out flashback or ShWF. Or maybe even put it behind Batman in the parking lot if they could get a special permit.

[Canobie Coaster“Fear can make a donkey attack a lion”]

While I personally am not a fan of the Mind Eraser like many other enthusiasts, it still draws a good crowd that far exceeds that of Flashback. Plus I've never seen it down on any of my visits. I think Deja Vu should go on the North End or in Crackaxle Canyon if we get it since most of the crowds swarm to DC and the South End/Hurricane Harbor and that area could use another major ride.
