Canobie Coaster Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Buzzsaw is either staying where it is or being removed. Buzzsaw's location makes it hard to fit a lot of rides so moving it wouldn't make much sense. Usually I am fine with diskos too, but the one at Lake Compounce really made me nautious earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Great addition! The one I rode at SFOT was a really thrilling ride and seemed to be very popular. I just hope this doesn't have a lot of downtime. Riddler went down a few times during my visit to SFOT and Black Widow was down for the night at Kennywood when I went, but maybe I just have bad luck. Like SFDK ad La Ronde, I think the park can definitely keep Tomahawk as well. Tomahawk is more about spinning and the Giant Discoveries are more about the swinging. Riddler Revenge, I'm glad to say, doesn't have a lot of downtime. However, RR generally has the longest line of any ride in the park. What's worse, hordes of flash pass users tend to bring the regular queue line to a near standstill. You can expect wait times in excess of an hour on most days, 2 hours on weekends.

coasterbill Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Six Flags New England doesn't really seem to generate insane lines (comparatively speaking) and doesn't seem to have nearly as many Flash Pass users as some other parks in the chain do. I'm sure it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 ^ I agree. There's a reason SFNE can have as many rides as they do with single train operations. SFOT could never get away with that. So having a single vehicle that seats 40-50 people should be more than adequate for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logrog04 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I went to the park yesterday and i made an observation, due to the Charlottesville, VA incident ALL of the flags will now be american, the New England State Flags are now gone, seems pretty dumb they didin't keep the state flags.

JT325 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Going through an old book "Fun Land USA," I found a picture of the "Loop Coaster" (later named Black Widow) running with a 3 car train! I've seen an Arrow shuttle run with 4, 5, and 6 car trains, but never 3! Interesting. Thought I would share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've used short 2-3 Arrow trains on RCT2 when I can't fit a station and it looks wrong there. It looks just as wrong and weird in real life too. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ^^ It does look odd with the tiny trains, but what an excellent picture! Love those Sky Ride "balls." David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiselphane Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Yeah I have extremely fond memories of that sky ride, those gondolas were make out city in the late 80s. I mean I mostly rode them alone but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think the worst part is that the Sky Ride is gone, but the towers and 2 stations remain as memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logrog04 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm going to the park on Friday? Do you think it will be busy we wanna squeeze in some time at the harbor because it's the last day we can go Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 It is a long weekend and the weather looks beautiful, so I'd expect larger than usual crowds on a Friday. Also, the high is only 70 degrees on Friday so I think a lot of people that usually go to the water park may stay on the ride side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm only going to say this once... Tomorrow is "Six Flags Announcements" day. We will be posting the announcement as soon as the materials are available to us. PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY LINKS OR IMAGES TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE TPR DOES! Anyone who does this will be banned forever from Theme Park Review. Let me explain... Posting the new ride information before we can do it actually creates MORE WORK for us as most of the time people who come on our forum and post info about a new ride will do a crappy job of it and then we have to not only do the work we are going to do to make a proper post about the new ride, but also clean up the garbage posts that people make. No one here will get any extra points or look any "cooler" for being "first" to post the information. We aren't about being first we are about having good quality content. Please respect that. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman and Cyclone will probably have upwards of an hour wait thru most of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity to Debut at Six Flags New England Giant Pendulum Ride Coming in 2018 Agawam, MA. — August 31, 2017 —Six Flags New England, the Thrill Capital of New England, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment, today announced its newest attraction, HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity, to open in spring 2018. Inspired by The Joker’s partner-in-crime, this ride promises to deliver epic thrills each time guests experience this villainous, new addition. “Innovation is part of the Six Flags DNA and we deliver new, groundbreaking attractions every season at Six Flags New England,” said Park President John Winkler. “HARLEY QUINN is an iconic DC Super-Villain and we are excited to add this action-packed thrill ride with her name next to THE JOKER, BATMAN, and SUPERMAN in our extremely popular line-up of DC branded attractions.” HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity is an extreme pendulum ride that will swing guests back and forth, higher and higher, at up to 70 miles per hour on a dizzying journey that will leave riders feeling as wild and out of control as HARLEY QUINN herself. HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity highlights include: 40 riders will be powered at speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour; The ride swings back and forth while rotating counterclockwise; and As guests swing higher and higher, they will experience a feeling of weightlessness at 147 feet in the air before plunging down from 15 stories. HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity will be located near the park’s newest attraction, THE JOKER 4D Free Fly Coaster, which opened earlier this year.

Rollercoaster Rider Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 What is with Six Flags adding Giant Discoveries to parks that have Frisbee's and not removing them. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, La Ronde, and Now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 ^ They're completely different rides. The Huss ones focus on spinning while these ones are all about the swinging and airtime. The ride's name is perfect considering the ride's location next to Joker. The ride's placement is amazing and the ride is going to look absolutely massive walking towards the South End. Kennywood's version was down for all my visit this year and the one in Texas went down before I boarded, so I hope I just got extremely unlucky there and that this will have good uptime because Riddler Revenge was one of the best of the genre when I finally was able to get on it (I still prefer MaXair but this is very close).

boldikus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So super jealous. I want one of these @ Great Adv so bad. I'll definitely be back up to this park with this stellar addition. Congrats to the locals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Another solid addition. SFNE has had a bunch of them in recent years, really helped turn this park around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah I was thinking how fortunate we've been with the New England Sky Screamer, Wicked Cyclone, Fireball, Joker, and now the giant discovery all in the past 5 years. As someone who spends 95% of the time in the ride park, this has really helped round out their ride collection. It's very early, but I have to think the water park is getting something next year after the streak of dry additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
