Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

To me it seems like the problem with Bizarro's restraints is where it comes down on your legs opposed to your stomach getting in the way. I have similar body height and weight and fit on just fine but the way the restraint was sitting on my thigh was very uncomfortable(similar feeling to Skyrush)and my stomach was not even near the restraint . Your legs are perhaps longer than mine which makes it harder for the restraint to go back further. In the past I have noticed that the front row of any car had much more leg room than the back row of a car. Have you tried making sure you are in the front row of a car? Their test seat really should be exactly accurate to the ride.

So the problem that they never fixed with The Bizarro test seat is that it has more legroom than the train. That may be your problem. That is something the park needs to change because it's unfair to people who wait in line after trying the test seat.

Those are some great old pictures of SFNE... I think this park was at it's best after they built Batman and before they started removing rides like Colossus and the Log Flume (I think there was a 2-3 year period in there). Back then they just had a ton of things to offer and they had a great atmosphere that set them apart from other Six Flags parks.

One of the many parts of the theming went in today, can't wait to see more!!

I did the Fly Away and was scared shitless. I was 100 percent sure I was going to throw up, fall out or both. Huss!

That emblem looks sick! I love how they light up the "eye"

 

I sadly never got to experience Nightwing. SFNE is seriously lacking on flats.

[Rai Fox]

Nightwing was great, very unique experience back then. I'm not sure if I'd feel quite the same about it now having been on flying coasters, but given how much I still love Lake Compounce's regular old Enterprise, I'm sure I'd still be making sure to get on it. It's so sad to see Huss rides disappearing now.

[Blind Idiot God]

Nightwing was one of my favorites as a kid. Shame that it was apparently a maintenance nightmare, as I seriously miss the damn thing. I do kinda wonder how comfortable it would have been for my now-6'0", 170lb self, though.

Weights were loaded into the seats today, testing is scheduled to start tomorrow!

[I305forever]

^ I can't wait any more! Open the ride already! I don't care if I break my neck or go flying out of my seat; I just can't wait anymore.

[Canobie Coaster]

I'll be super pumped if this is open in two weeks when I go to visit. If not, I'll be back later this summer.

YES!!! God I hope this opens up soon. Much as I want to wait for the initial crowd surge to die down I may not be able to do so!

We will see if the California team makes the first cycle or not!

[FaithPlus1]

Wicked Cyclone is gonna be dope!

[JJLehto]

I heard WC has a public opening date of May 22nd, not official but someone "was told that" by SFNE. Considering testing begins tomorrow, perhaps this is right!

[Vonni]

This Coaster is going to be epic! I'm really jealous of all of you SFNE locals! Enjoy this beauty!

[markysharky17]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but does this coaster have three trains or two trains?

There's pics on instagram of WC testing

[coasterbill]

Here's a picture from a random Facebook page of it testing...

 

 

Based on what I'm reading the picture is from ridiculously far away because Six Flags security is parked on the side of the road yelling at anyone who stops or walks on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street from the park.

 

This park is exhausting... lol

[canadianparkfan]

^Thats awesome to see it testing. Wonder why security's so tight though. Hopefully they'll loosen up once the ride opens.

[Gnome]

Wicked Cyclone is testing so hard right now

[Superbatboy]

They act like it's Area 51 or something, it's just a f***ing roller coaster. Geez
