Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

Yes my ride in the front felt exactly the same as my ride in the front last year.

[RollerManic]

Could someone please get a picture of Superman light up from a distance please? We have not seem any pictures of how the ride looks in the skyline with its new lift lights.

[TyRush]

Probably since the park has been closing at 7pm or 8pm it's not totally dark yet! That's why I didn't take on the way out...it was still still light out as we left at almost 8.

How do you attend media day? Do you get invited, ask, or what? And what time do they hold these kind of things at? I've never understood how it all works, but I'd love to attend one some coming year!

 

I realize I can't go this time, but it's worth asking anyway

[chadster]

How do you attend media day? Usually by car

 

Do you get invited, ask, or what? Magic

 

And what time do they hold these kind of things at? Sometime between 12:01am to 12:00am

Pretty accurate. It makes sense, though

Heading up to the park tomorrow. Sorry Robb I have an event Thursday and can't make it!!

[Brassinthegrass]

Sorry for the double post!!

 

Great day at the park, ride ops were working quite fast (shocker) and we hit every coaster once other than wicked cyclone and superman which we did twice each. Then headed to Lake Compounce.

 

 

We did grab a bit at Eat which was about ten min away. Amazing food and staff. Highly recommended!!!

[TheDarkMaxim]

I was also at the park yesterday. Lines really weren't too bad for such a nice a day. I'd agree the ride ops were moving pretty fast, except for Thunderbolts.

 

A couple pictures from the day

^Thanks for the pictures there, Superman looks great in that last photo, i think it definitely looks better in those colors!

[jedimaster1227]

I appreciate what the park tried to do with Bizarro, but temporary overlays and rethemes just aren't the way to keep coasters like this fresh. If they are good, they can stand on their own for decades without significant changes. I'm glad to see them going back to the Superman theme with this one.

I have to hand it to the park. They did a great job integrating it into that spot. It looks so much better than I thought it would.

I agree completely. I was really impressed.

[Blind Idiot God]

Looks better than Twister ever did.

[Chasehat]

Well SFNE has implemented assigned seating on Superman. Great Job SFNE your 2 best coasters you can't pick your seats

[BoulderDash]

Looks like SFNE is on track to get that golden ticket back! (not)

 

 

 

They were making people fill in seats and kept saying no waiting for the front. Completely insane. Also Cyclone was loud and ran like crap like the second half of last year.

[I Like Theme Parks.]

^This is why I have such a love/hate relationship with this park. They have two masterpieces, Superman and Wicked Cyclone, a good amount of decent fun coasters like Goliath (It's rough, but that makes it so chaotic), The Dark Knight, Thunderbolt (Pretty underrated family ride), and Pandemonium. That on top of a decent thrill ride lineup should make this a great half-day park. But the operations are just so terrible! Superman was the last ride in the park where you could choose a seat, but they somehow found a way to mess that up, too. And the operators are so stupid and slow, especially the Thunderbolt crew. The park really has SO MUCH potential, but they just don't use it!

[Zand]

That picture is the #1 reason of many why I decided not to get a season pass this year for the first time in 15 years. That station was fine the way it was since 2000, why change it? Two of the best steel coasters in the world are within an hour of me yet the poor management and choices of the park have made me hate going there so much that it's not even worth sucking it up to ride them anymore.

 

I'm looking forward to visiting 6 different parks in PA this summer as well as hopefully getting back to Lake Compounce, but other than maybe a trip during frightfest, I'm done putting up with their crap.

[coasterbill]

I wasn't planning on going back until after the VR thing is over with anyway but unfortunately that looks really permanent. Let's hope it isn't.

 

This park is so atrocious it's almost funny sometimes.

It's like SFNE has a goal to suck even more every year.
