Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

This park actually completely removed twisters pad, and dug a hole. The ride will be at ground level, so it will look even more like a permanent ride. The park is really trying to make everything look great this year whether it be Rockville or Superman with new theming around DC!

[Blind Idiot God]

I'd owe the likelihood that they're very far ahead of schedule to the (largely) extremely mild winter that we've been having here.

[FaithPlus1]

I wonder why none of the other parks in the chain that are getting Super Loops have theirs put together yet? SFNE has theirs up very early for SF standards.

Probably because SFNE's is built on Twister's (top spin) old pad and foundation, and the other parks have to do a bit more to get the site ready, just a guess.

 

You really just ave to figure out a nice flat spot to park the ride.

I know you're not a troll because you make legitimate posts in general but when it comes to super loops and saying the name "Lightning Rod" correctly you just really don't give a f*ck, do you?

 

Haha!!! All in fun

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

How far is the Superman repaint now?

It's been complete for a while.

K... Can't believe I forgot

A SBF Traffic Jam model has shown up in Rodeo's spot!

[coasterbill]

Well it doesn't fit the theme of the area at all but if that ends up being it's final destination I'm very happy to see a new flat.

Don't worry, they will be re-theming the ride itself to fit the area!

And you know this how?

[CoasterTony]

I know one of the employees. It pays to know people.

[WindexCyanide13]

Ok. I'll believe it when I see it. Because it makes no sense to get a flat ride themes to a taxi, to retheme every piece of it. Do you know what they're theming it to?

In other news, the Frisbee from Fiesta Texas will be helping out Tomahawk this year! The whole ride carriage is sitting at Six Flags New England. (Via: SFNEONLINE)

Sorry, he did not tell what they are re-theming it to.

[thesman]

Do we know if they got this new or used?

[CoasterTony]

It is probably used, it looks like they got it straight from a carnival.

[BoulderDash]

It is probably used if they are planning on re-theming it. There is no way they would buy a new ride with a theme they were not going to use.

[PixelRush]

I'm confused by the picture with the Traffic Jam, because the picture shows Superman really close to the shot, and it's really far away from the spot! I'd like to believe it, but I'm just a bit skeptical for many reasons...

New drone photos courtesy of SFNE Online. Superman looking good.

[coneyislandchris]

I'm sure they still have some work left to do, but it looks like the tunnel after the first drop is covered by a giant slice of yellow American cheese.

 

Thanks for sharing the photos, boldikus. It's definitely looking great, and I can't wait to make it back up Massachusetts way this season!

[Jcoaster]

Red just looks right on this coaster.

I still have not been up to SFNE, making it a point to make it happen sooner rather than wait til later in the year (like the last two years) and not being able to squeeze it in. I've only talked to at least 4 people about driving up, hopefully one of them shakes out and I can finally ride Superzarro and Wicked Cyclone.

Get to the park for opening, ride Superman, WC, Goliath and Pandomonium then hightail it out of there to LC an marathon Bolder Dash.

[coasterbill]

If you get there at opening you should actually hit Goliath first as it's likely to break down at any time and if you're the first one there you can ride in Row 1 and avoid a massive skull bashing.
