You are correct that Wildcat doesn't seem to be set up for two train operation (no transfer track) but it easily could run two trains as there's a break run before the loading area as well as the lift hill i.e. it could block for two trains and you could simply have both on there all the time. Ridiculous to have a 45 minute wait on a day that wasn't really all that crowded.
Wildcat does have a transfer track, it’s after the station, and before the lift.

As a Superman operator, I love to hear this positivity about our ops! We’re honestly all working as hard as possible to send trains out quick, and it’s awesome to hear that you guys are noticing!

^ Thanks I figured it was to have a merge point.
Do you know if they considered routing the Flash Pass and ADA passes through the exit?
They considered it but decided against it because they did not want an overflow of people in the gift shop.
-
It’s for grouping purposes. It allows us to group Flashpass and ADA Passes into the queue before we send general riders inside.

Grid doesn’t have a voice though. It’s a small skull on a screen, that’s it.

I'm going to start chanting "SHED" during Cyborg Hyper Drive next month when I go. It's meant to be a reference to a ride on Mystic Timbers where the group starting chanting "SHED" for no reason. Either that or the Big Time Rush "WHOA OH OH OH OH"
I’ll stop the ride

^ As nice as Cyborg sounds, this is the better new for 2019 addition if you ask me!
Did you just diss Grid?
I don’t know why you’re really expecting more than a Freestyle in a box. Nobody really cares about Grid, and your posts are adding nothing to our conversation.

^ Rerides? It's an Easter miracle for SFNE!
Actually, we implemented a new policy this year! If your row is empty, you can reride!
Holy krap!!! For real? Is this on all rides? So many times we’ve been there and rolled up after riding and nobody in the row and we ask tonreride and they’re like “sorry bro - gotta go around”.....not sure what the reasoning was there but was maddening....I always ask anyway and it’s not like it goes down like that all the time....it’s like 50/50....HITP 2017 I got four rides on Batman by asking.....but it was 22 degrees and nobody was in line lol....man my face froze after that
It’s *supposed* to be parkwide.

“Priority Boarding” is the term we use for our access pass, which is used for medical reasons and/or disabilities. Not sure why they’re using them every train on the front row. They’re not supposed to be filling them in row 1, and should be alternating which train is being filled with the Acess Pass. Sorry about that everyone! Glad to hear you guys are enjoying Superman! That’s usually where I’m operating.
Well at least on Saturday we got bumped out of row 1 three times in a row and the people were hardly having medical issues or disabled....it was so annoying....did hear from daughters friend that at least on Supe theory’s not supposed to let those folks board row 1 or back row but who knows....seems a good portion of ride ops aren’t real strict....case in point how they’ll let through say 2 people on a flash pass good for only 1.....seen that a lot
Your comment is a little insensitive and ignorant. Disabilities are not always physical nor are medical needs. But, it is still the beginning of the season. All policies will become more consitent as we move into full time operations. And as always, if your dissatisfied with something during your visit, don’t hesitate to visit guest relations, or leave a comment on the parks “Contact Us” page!

There was a video at one point.

@Canobie Coaster, I think that was me who recognized your shirt! Not a supervisor though, just simply a team member. Thanks so much for mentioning our operations. It's still early in the season, so no crew is going to be perfect, but we're trying our best, and the announcements to when the train will be leaving are definitely helping speed thing up. As for the park being pack, I was shocked at how busy it was, as one week before, Superman barely had a line! Thanks again for the nice words about the Superman crew!

Yup, back to two trains, and the ops are moving very quickly. Great job to the hardworking maitnence team!

We aren’t running one train by choice. The blue train is out for maitnence waiting on parts.

Superman’s blue train is off due to maitnence, and is potentially done for the season.

As someone who works at the park, I want to apologize for the negative experience you had during your visit. First off, many of our maximum height restrictions are set or recommended by the manufacturer, and for some reason, I believe Kryptonite's restraints lock lower than other models.I find it very tight when I ride. Next, many of our employees are usually very polite and engaged in what they are doing, not usually "pissy". Also, with weather, the park uses radar systems to detect storms, meaning that even though you do not see or hear. bad weather, it can still be close by. And finally, while Looney Tunes Movie Town does close one hour prior to park closing, we do have Kidzopolis which remains open, so it's not like the kids were missing out on much.
With that out of the way, I hope you choose to return to SFNE in the future! We are a great park with a great ride lineup, and hopefully your next visit can provide you with what me and my coworkers always strive for. Also, be sure to email the park with your concerns, because improvements cannot be made if they are not aware!
****These are my thoughts. I am not speaking on behalf of Six Flags New England!*****

I’m actually the reason Lex Luthor is down. I accidentally elbowed the metal sidebar at the end of the gondala, and it popped off. Not kidding.

Thank you everybody!

Hello Everyone! I'll be visiting both Disneyland and DCA in June. I'm planning on visiting both parks in one day, and was wondering if anybody had any tips, such as order to do rides and places to eat. Thanks in advance!
Disneyland is a different sort of park. I did both in one day, but to answer your questions, I'll need to know your priorities. What are your favourite Disney movies? That is an absolutely essential question to your enjoyment of these parks.
Haha! I literally love all of them. I’m trying to focus mostly on your classic Disney Rides, and the thrill rides. Don’t know how to pick my favorite Disney movie!

I'm surprised that nobody has said Lake Compounce. Been lots of rumblings about it.
