TyRush Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Okay... Is it just me or does it not seem like WC is taking forever to be constructed?? Maybe it's just me.... We've had a record breaking winter/winter storm up here so I'm surprised with their success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think Wicked Twister's layout is a bit more creative too. Absolutely! I mean... an impulse coaster right on the beach with not one but (wait for it) (wait for it)... TWO twists! Now that's creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Once this opens, it will be interesting in a few years to see where people flock to when the park opens. While this isn't as tall as Bizarro, it looks like it's going to give the park one of the top 1-2 roller coaster punches in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnumFreak25 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Cyclone's going to be such an amazing ride. I really hope I can make a trip down there.

I bet it was intentionally designed like this to really accentuate the sensation of speed for riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Here's a pretty random thought...Six Flags appears to like the concept of the Soarin' Eagle zipline, what with the installation in the safari at Great Adventure as well as the upcoming Fiesta Texas ride. Wouldn't it be something if SFNE received one as a replacement to the recently-closed New England Skyway? Think about it...reuse the station closest to Cyclone for boarding. Conveniently, if you follow the path of the Skyway and continue past the opposite station, you run directly into the Scream! tower, which could theoretically be used to attach the high end of the zip line to. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the tried and true Six Flags method when connecting drop rides with other attractions. The state couldn't possibly have any issues with it.

ScreaminNewEngland Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The Nor' Easter was AMAZING this year. The park was so great to us! Jen said that the track should be complete within the next two weeks. The ride looks INSANE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride looks INSANE. Youre referring to Wicked Cyclone, correct? I'm not sure that would be accurate, considering the track is just over halfway through after months of construction. Then again maybe I'm wrong and they're picking up the pace with some decent weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoulderDash Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The ride looks absolutely incredible in person, pictures never do anything justice. Also, in most pictures it looks really red but today I actually saw orange haha. Lots o' track Hello there The park also confirmed the change to the 3rd turn, the second turn in the triple turn sequence is now an outwards banking airtime hill. Awesome track section here. Can somebody say airtime? Muhahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yes, wicked Cyclone. It's going up very quick. Other news: Mind Eraser is getting NEW restraints and a HUGE train make-over!!!!1 Tons of coaster renovations including: Flashback, Mind Eraser, Catwomen's Whip (exterior), Pandemonium, Great Chace and Thunderbolt Wicked Cylone is going to have a cool Wicy lable on the lift hill (like iron rattlers) The group got to sign our names on old wood from Cyclone and they're going to hang them up in the station!!!!

I305forever Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 ^Will the new trains be like the one T3 is getting (I think it's called kumbak or something) or like the one that The Great Noreaster has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastKid Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Mind Eraser is getting NEW restraints and a HUGE train make-over!!!!1 Is this actually happening 100%?

TyRush Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Wow. Not one but two powerful outside banked airtime hills...how do I get so blessed to potentially have the two best steel coaster airtime machines in my 2 states of residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'm beyond excited to try out the new trains, regardless of which style they are! Yup. The park announced it. The restraints will not be like the original ones but they also won't be like the vests at morey's pier. They are going to be a thinner OTSH. But the park made it clear that they are doing major train renovations. They're actually replacing all of the train's seats as well. They promised a much better and more enjoyable ride. I am so excited to see Mind Eraser get some love. It's one of the most intense rides in the park and has the potential of being awesome! So excited to see that they haven't given up on this one!

Paradox Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Nice to know they aren't taking the normal Six Flags way out and just leaving it to rot. Can't wait to see the WC logo on it and that last outward banked hill looks insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCoaster Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Wait. So potentially Mind Eraser will be smoother than Goliath... That really makes my head hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Wait. So potentially Mind Eraser will be smoother than Goliath... That really makes my head hurt. It already is. SFNE's ME is really not that bad compared to others. It certainly has it's bad days but most of the time, it's not bad. Goliath is like getting a jackhammer to your spine.

coasterbill Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'm sorry I'm always so negative with this park (unless I'm talking about Thunderbolt or Wicked Cyclone of course) but this is why. So they're willing to do a complete re-design and overhaul on 2 trains for a terrible coaster that has no potential anyway but they're not willing to put the old train that they already have back on Goliath when the current train is absolutely horrible, caused the ride to be closed for half a year and the beginning of the next year, has not seemed to improve reliability and has made what many people (myself included) considered the best ride in the park, one of the worst thanks to it's unbearable headbanging... even on perfectly flat and straight pieces of track. They already have a train sitting around that would make this ride awesome... but instead of using it and admitting they screwed up they'd rather go out and buy 2 new trains for the piece of crap with no potential on the other side of the park.

ScreaminNewEngland Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 ^ mind eraser is not terrible. They're putting tons of work in almost all of their coasters this year. Almost every coastwr got a lot of attention this year. They have been working on Goliaths trains too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
