drb2991 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 My dad brought my friend (Coastermaniac123) and I to Six Flags New England yesterday on opening day. We arrived at the park around 11:00 AM. Entrance The first ride of the day was Thunderbolt. It had about a five minute wait. Thunderbolt has not been repainted yet but it will be once it gets warmer. Some of its wood has been replaced though. The next ride was Scream. It was a walk-on for the entire day. Scream was running two towers all day in various modes. After riding Scream twice, we made our way over to the brand new Wiggles World. This walkway is now blocked by the new Wiggles World stage. The entrance to Wiggles World. Wiggles World Stage The Wiggles Gift Shop Big Red Cars Big Red Planes Yummy Yummy Cafe Captain Feathersword & Henry's Splish Splash Captain Feathersword's Rockin Pirate Ship new stairs from Wiggles World to DC SUPER HERO Adventures We now headed to the South End. Splash Water Falls new restrooms We rode BATMAN - THE DARK KNIGHT three times. The loading time was very good. loop The refurbished Crime Wave looks great in its new location. Next we headed to DC SUPER HERO Adventures. Poison Ivy's Tangled Train is now called Catwoman's Whip. The new Legion of Doom show is starting on May 26th. new advertisement sign We then rode on Superman: Ride of Steel. The wait was about 30 minutes. first drop Superman was only running one train. The red train, which can be seen on the transfer track, is waiting for new parts. one of the new Ben & Jerry's Before heading over to Crack-Axle Canyon and the North End, we checked out the new Wii Experience in Rockville. Wii Experience There were twelve Nintendo Wii's set up. There was also a Nintendo DS. The new Cold Stone Creamery in Crack-Axle Canyon. lots of choices! In the North End, Ted's Coney Island has replaced Subway. Chinese theming that I never noticed before. We rode Pandemonium once using the single riders line. The wait looked to be about twenty minutes long. They have removed Mr. Six from the logo. They also have removed the spinning Mr. Six's. Turbo Bungee has been removed. Cyclone They have begun to paint Cyclone's exit ramp. Catapult was running, but had some problems around 5:00 PM. Before we left the park, we rode Superman one more time.

coastermaniac123 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice Job! Those pictures look amazing, I can't believe they came out that good. You forgot to mention the new seatbelts and the breakdowns on Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefitness Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Nice TR! I always thought Batman Dark Knight was a cool looking coaster. Anyways, cool pictures, looks like a fun park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Great update of SFNE. This park is always one of the nicest looking in the SF chain. Crime Wave looks *exactly* like the one at SFOG, then again, its Six Flags. But, I give them props on tying in DC Comics to their rides. Wiggles World looks nice too!

easytoremember Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm glad they're doing good on Dark Nights operation times. When I went in August we waited for about 40 minuets, when the line was only thorugh about one cutback, and TWO trains. The dispatch times were probably around 5-6 minutes each.

coaster_type_of_person Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Those pictures are extremely nice! I just have to ask. What kind of camera is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac123 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 ^I am not exactly sure of the model he has, but it is a Canon. He'll have to tell you, it really is an excellent photo. Easytoremeber, they had 4 Ride Ops checking restraints! 2 in the front half of the train and 2 in the back half of the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeemerBoy Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Very nice pics. I wish there was some way I could combine SFOG and SFNE together. Get rid of Ninja, Deja Vu, and GA Cyclone...give me S:ROS, DK, Thunderbolt, and the overall look and feel of SFNE, and I'd have the best Six Flags park around (IMHO).
