| TPR Notes |
|
Six Flags New England sits on the edge of the Connecticut River, hence the former name of Riverside Park.
The park is highlighted by two very good coasters surrounded with a few more above-average coasters. Superman: Ride of Steel and Wicked Cyclone The park contains a wide variety of flat rides, many of which are unique to American audiences. There are plenty of rides for families to enjoy together, including the those in the water park.
Sometimes in the summer the park will attract a surly, less patient crowd. | |
