Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

Yup

 

But i'd lower the expectations. Six flags isn't going to do 6 projects for one park in one year.

[EastKoaster]

I'm just saying it has been done many times before in six flags history!

Jen said nightwing wasn't coming back, but she never said it was gone. I asked her about what rides are in storage and she replayed that she will say them when she is allowed to.

[ScreaminNewEngland]

At the nor' easter, she said that most of the ride was gone. The only ride in there now is DDD. The marvin kiddie ride was shipped to SFOT.

Dude, it's almost assuredly not coming back. They got rid of everything except for a couple of inconsequential parts, and the thing was a maintenance nightmare that is probably even more of a bitch to get parts for now that HUSS most likely doesn't even make the damn thing any more. Just forget about it.

[ScreaminNewEngland]

^Amen!!

Let's be realistic here.

I never said it was coming back. Nobody actually knows for sure if it's back there. And huss does make the fly away still.

[Blind Idiot God]

Even if they somehow had it sitting around, they'd be stupid to bring it back as is. The thing was a prototype that broke down constantly and was very costly and time-consuming to maintain, and its waning ridership made it even more of a burden.

[EastKoaster]

Waning rideship!? Compared to what, jokers wild? Most times I went to the park it was operational and you would normally have to wait atleast 1 ride cycle in line

Cyclone confirmed to be closing on July 20th!!

[CPSFMMCW]

Cyclone confirmed to be closing on July 20th!!

is that from what was leaked on the radio station? But this is legit no surprise to like 90% of people here

[EastKoaster]

Way to ruin the parks announcement...... But yes that was what was leaked via radio stations today

[djboss302]

Link?

As I stated before it will formally be announced on SFNE twitter account at 6:30 am tomorrow morning! As of right now only a commercial announcing it was played on the radio

[Rollercoaster Rider]

That's oddly my Birthday. I guess Six Flags wants to give RMC enough time to do Iron Cyclone? and Colossus Steel Coaster?

I'm sorry but you can't get mad at someone leaking info here if it's true. This happens on a regular basis at TPR. We all knew about Gatekeeper and Banshee way before they got announced along with Zumanjaro and many others. I don't wanna sound mean but you can't read the forums if you don't want spoilers.

Well, there's a good chance one of them will be torn down to make way for a brand new RMC wooden coaster.

For the Cyclone, Just follow the IR method. Restore the famous drop, add a barrel roll, and steel camelbacks.

[EastKoaster]

I was just annoyed because I was trying to understand the parks efforts of wanting to make the big announcement and I knew about the leak this morning buy I wanted the park to have all the glory for once but whatever,

[EastKoaster]

But while we are on the subject it has been hinted at by park executives that the park may be doing something more of a prototype than the normal I Box with a lift hill, if you know what I'm hinting at..... It would be a kill two birds with one stone opportunity for the park

[vacoaster09]

^or that this is the first I-box conversion for a ride located in the north east and wanting to get a head start before winter. SFMM will be in southern cali temps.

[camthedominator]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Fantasy has become reality!

By the way, has anyone considered a prototype idea like a cable lift or maybe even an electromagnetic lift hill similar to the one on Maverick. I know this idea sounds a little ridiculous nut if you think about it, the steel rails would be plenty strong to support that kind of stress and if it's an electromagnetic lift hill, they would really be killing two birds with one stone.

I didn't mean a different type of lift, I meant no need for a lift, meaning a launched hybrid, something that RMC has been working on

[camthedominator]

Yeah, I think you are right. That would be a fantastic edition to the park considering it would be a world first, a huge publicity magnet, and it really bring some life back into the old thing. By the way, if you look on YouTube, there's a guy who has used No Limits to simulate what the redesign might look like...

I was hoping for the return of S:ROS
