Jcoaster

Oh believe me I've ridden Bizzaro, Dominator and they're vastly superior rides. I'd even say Dark Knight at New England is miles above it. Steel Force is usually trash but it surprised me this season.

Yes thats what I've heard the past few days although there has been no clairification as to why.

Looks like you had a great time at Great Adventure. Glad to see it, was Joker down during your visit? P.S. Also looks like Kristen had fun decapitating that Piñata.

Yea I was thinking before, with the amount of money the park must pour into Boulder Dash no wonder it took them 10+ years to add another coaster. (Which I'm not complaining about you go to Lake Compounce for Boulder Dash)

Dorney is a good change of pace from Great Adventure and Dorney due to the fact that is never any lines and you can ride as much as you want. I actually enjoyed my rides on Steel Force when I visited this season and I don't think Hydra is half as bad as you're making it out to be. The Jo-Jo roll may actually be the ONLY interesting element of the ride.

I really felt like reporting her but it was our last ride of the day so I just bit the bullet. Canobie is awesome, I recommend it to anyone. Untamed is awesome, very very forecful. It packs a punch for such a small ride.

There ARE two redeeming qualities of Wildcat though: 1.) You exit near Pink's. 2.) It does look awesome as you enter the park.

They look even better in person. They really pop. Kudos to Lake Compounce for coming up with the color scheme. I think my favorite feature may be the green trains.

Harambe is in the shed.

Everytime I ride it I think it can't be as bad as the last but alas.

This video really spoke to me. I got so much out of it.

Last stop: After leaving Six Flags New England around 2:30 and stopping for lunch again, we arrived at Lake Compounce for their twilight ticket around 5 o’clock. I’ve always been a big Lake Compounce fan and it was no different on this trip. It was by far my favorite park of the four we visited. For those of you who have never been to Lake Compounce its a small, clean, beautiful park with a very solid ride collection of a place its size. Admission is very reasonable and the twilight ticket is only around 24 dollars. Not to mention they have FREE soft drinks. Thats right, as much soda and ice tea you want for free .99 its the best bargain out there. Combine this with a Pink’s and a top 5 rollercoaster in Boulder Dash an you got yourself a winner folks. Rides: Sawmill Plunge 1x - We were hot and tired after SFNE so we headed over to the Log Flume first. Ended up being the longest wait of the visit. Fun flume with a good amount splash. Phobia 2x - New Hotness alert. Phobia was amazing and a perfect addition for a park Lake Compounce’s size. Small footprint with a maximum amount of thrills, its a huge winner for them. A bit on the cheaper side too, it allows for them to save some money for future additions. The only other Sky Rocket I’ve been on is Tempesto at BGW. Phobia was a far superior due to the lack of OSTR’s. I was able to catch way more air on Phobia thanks to the lap bar only restraints. Not to knock Tempesto, it was still very solid but I had more fun on Phobia. Boulder Dash 2x - Phobia’s exit drops you right off at Boulder Dash’s entrance (no surprise there). I honestly can’t say enough about this coaster, it is truly a top 5 ride. From start to finish this thing is relentless, it absolutely FLIES through the course. Seriously if for some reason you’ve never heard of this ride put the pov on this second. The airtime is ejector, not because the hills are steep but because it takes the hills on at such an insane speed it feels like you’re going to fly out of it. One of the only rides I’ve ever been on that I can say it truly feels like “holy crap this is out of control the train might F***kin derail from the tracks”. I can’t do anything but laugh the entire time. Get up to Bristol CT and ride this thing ASAP people. Wildcat 1x - It looks nice upon entering the park but kill this thing with fire is my review. Pink’s Chili Cheese Dog with Onion Rings 1x - Such a shame I was only able to eat one Chili Cheese Dog this trip. If you ever find yourself at Lake Compounce make sure you eat here and nowhere else. It’s magical. The new skyline of Lake Compounce's entrance. Phobia's sign is A+ as is the ride itself. If you've never seen a Sky Rocket II in person it seriously looks like some messed up S**t!! Through the trees. New Hotness. Love the color scheme of this ride and the trains. CCI Masterpiece. Chuck you did not tell us you had a fan club up in CT. Boulder Dash about to wreak havoc through the side of that mountain. Truly beautiful setting for a rollercoaster. The return trip is filled with crazy airtime. WildCat: The 89 year ongoing tragedy. They're about to be in a world of pain. One more picture of Boulder Dash snaking through the trees. I'll end this trip report on a glorious picture of Pink's. Thanks for reading!

You just don't get it.

Tim Horton's is God. That had to be the highlight of the visit next to Goliath.

Thanks!

You can feel the potential in ThunderHawk when you ride it.

Yankee Cannonball was very middle of the road. I was expecting for it to be at least a little above average. As far as the incident at SFNE. I will never ask any of them ever again. I was really shocked, I was gonna jump out of my skin at this 17 year old ride op at one point but realized I like WC and Superman too much to be banned

Part 3: Tuesday morning we packed up, ate a horrible hotel breakfast and hit the road for our two our trek from Salem, New Hampshire to Agawam, Massachusetts. The trip was a little over two hours with some traffic but not too bad. We arrived at Six Flags New England a little before 11 and paid a whopping 0 dollars for parking and 0 dollars for admission. I have to say for how overpriced everything else is, Six Flags does give you bang for you buck with admission and parking everywhere with the purchase of a season pass. Okay, so I hate bashing parks because no park sets out for its customers to have a bad time. Also I like Six Flags New England more than some others on this site (Yes you CoasterBill) but boy did going from quaint parks like Quassy and Canobie Lake really turn SFNE up on the “Six Flags” meter. We walked to the main gate and I just got this overwhelming sense of “oh boy is this a Six Flags if I’ve ever been to one.” First off, there wasn’t a “no bags line” at security check. Obviously we situated ourselves behind a family going to the waterpark where EVERYONE had a bag. Getting into the park itself was a 20 minute process. After that it was pretty smooth sailing and your typical Six Flags day. Top tier coasters in Superman and Wicked Cyclone (Superman’s line was hauling thanks to no VR till 1) along with some solid coasters in Dark Knight and Pandemonium. The surprise of the day was besides Superman, the ops on the other three coasters we rode absolutely stunk. It annoys me to no end that there is a grouper for every single coaster in the park. Dark Knight was slow dispatches for a B&M, we had a nasty encounter with a ride attendant on Wicked Cyclone and don’t even get me started on Pandemonium (God awful!). When we reached the station on Wicked Cyclone we politely asked the grouper if we could ride in the back row, she obliged and told us to stand over to the side. The next thing you know one of the ride ops comes storming down and begins yelling at us to move. I am a very mellow person and it takes a lot to piss me off but the way she was yelling at us both Nick and I yelled back at her that the grouper told us to stand there. She then began yelling at the ride op to “never let that happen again and she’ll throw us off the ride next time.” I knew this was going to be an uphill battle and just smiled at her as she kept on making comments. When she checked our restraints she slammed them into our laps. At that point I said to myself “have a Six Flags day.” The rest of the afternoon went by without incident. I got another stellar ride on Wicked cyclone, ate some miserable Six Flags food as a snack and hightailed out of there to Lake Compounce for their evening ticket. Rides: Superman 2x - The ride looks amazing back in the original color scheme. It still provides a kickass ride even though some uncomfortable restraints for my long legs. This coaster plus Wicked Cyclone just makes it worth the time to travel up here. Two rides in the back row and we were being ejected and tossed around every which way. Simply awesome. Dark Knight 1x - Every time I ride this coaster I begin to like it more. Short and forceful, how I like my B&M's. I consider this the "Batman the Ride" of floorless coasters. Pandemonium 1x - Waiting on the final stretch of this queue in the beating sun is absolutely brutal but also worth it. I never not ride this and have a great time. Absolutely howling laughing the entire ride. Wicked Cyclone 2x - This is the only RMC I've been on but boy am I blessed to have this thing in driving distance once a year. I actually liked it better this year than last. Airtime every which way, just a kooky ride. This is a must visit coaster if you're in the New England area. Six Flags over Agawam we are coming for you! What a sight indeed! Back to its original color scheme and everyone couldn't be more happy. Good to see that Bizarro is dead. Through the trees. I love the refurbished trains. This was probably my favorite photo of the entire trip. Loopty Loop. Pretty funny to see a slice of the homeland up at SFNE. Guess I won't be riding the Ferry anytime soon. This is Pandemonium. It's 800 feet tall, travels 400 mph and jumps through 8 hoops of fire. Everyone thank Friendly's for making this possible. Theming thanks to Friendly's. Remember when everyone saw the "NJ" on the side of this plane and said, "Zomg! RMC 2 Great Adventure 2016-2020" it will come!" Hairtime for all. Kooky. I'll leave you with a photo of Wicked Cyclone's awesome front car. Part 4 Lake Compounce up next.

Wow, Dorney looked so badass back in the day. Too bad Cedar Fair happened.

Not as bad as you'd think. Joker's line moves relatively well. With SFNE's ops though...Who knows.

Now that....That's an idea. A heinous one.

Any word on what happened with Impulse?

That's nice. So what's that supposed to mean? Just making a statement. It means that I totally agree with you that that would be wonderful, but there's a better chance of this park running 2 trains on Thunderbolt, giving guests free soft drinks, not hiring a**holes to work at every food stand and offering to give every guest a complimentary b***job on the way out than actually getting a custom free spin. (Can I say that? I know Robb has said it. Oh well, I'll put stars there. Stars make everything better) Wow. You are over the top wrong on so many levels here. Not even worth answering. What I mentioned isn't even "custom". It was an already shown design. So that would be one level. You named one thing.

Thank you! SFNE is up next tomorrow!
