Six Flags New England (SFNE) Discussion Thread

[Scaparri]

^I think he's referring to the fact that the two parks don't have the same clone. Yeah, SFNE has clones, but SFGAdv doesn't have any of those same clones.

[Moose]

Well SFNE and SFDL both have SLC's and Boomerangs and are within the 6 hours that they were complaining about.

 

And yes, i know DL is no longer a 6 flags parks.

 

 

Great Escape and SFNE both have Boomerangs, again both within 6 hours.

[Team Thriller]

What the F? What is Six Flags doing. Well, at least it isn't an SLC! lol

[imbordisux]

^As if Flashback and Pandemonium weren't clones

 

 

I'm interested in where this is going to go.

 

Should have clarified my statement, but as I said in the SFGAdv thread, I was referring to how SFGAdv and SFNE don't have any coasters in common with each other.

Look. They have the THBS press release for SFFT on the SFNE site.

[coasterbilly]

Not quite sure why SFNE got this (clearly SFA needed it more) because they already have Pandemonium. I know they are from different manufacturers but come on it's almost like the same concept, oh well, not my homepark

An indoor wild mouse replacing a Primier launched coaster? LOL!! What are they on?!?

Wrong topic. The SFGAdv is further down the page. But in regards to your comment, the Chiller was VERY expensive to maintain and SF was just too tired of wasting tons of money on an unreliable coaster. They're hoping that this indoor coaster is more reliable and easier to keep running.

Moi aussi... it certainly sounds as if they're actually going to invest some theming into this coaster!

[speedracer]

^^ Yeah but watch them pull a Paramount and not maintain the sets and efx, indoor themed coasters can be costly too and need to be maintained otherwise the themed experience deteriorates until it's nothing more than just a coaster in a box. Hope SF's committed to doing so for the long haul.

Not excited about this at all but it's better than nothing, I can clearly see my next SFNE visit - ride Superman repeatedly, get new credit, ride Superman until leaving park.

 

Although it looks like they are starting to remove the Deja Vu coasters, Six Flags are increasing my feelings of deja vu when visit most of their parks.

[LcHg5265]

All reference to the ride has been removed from the six flags website.

[asr]

Weird... Maybe the announcement was planned for later and got out early for some reason?

[kraxleRIDAH]

^ I highly doubt it...

 

It was announced with the new Wiggles World, Thomas Town, and two new Tony Hawk coasters afterall...it's just very strange. Don't know what could be the reason behind it.

[Axman]

The should just call one "The Dark Night" instead of renaming the first one.

[Zand]

A sign at Flashpass today stated that Superman is likely closed for the remainder of the season due to more chain problems.

[coastercrazed49]

Why! I'm going to SFNE this October and thats the only reason why I would go. Hopefully things will change.

[Guest]

I read a Trip Report from someone who went today and it mentioned that they rode it.

 

Maybe the sign was from when it was down the first time???

[Evan1127]

Nope. I was there today. It was down and they were telling people not to expect it open for the rest of the season.

 

I assume they'll still try, but no one can guarantee it.

 

Very good day anyway, though.

[coasterdude5]

At least they're trying - gotta give them that.

[XanderLee]

It's actually on the main page of the park..

On the "Did you know" ticker....kind of a good idea.

The lift hill chain is missing, take a look at the top photo. Photo was taken yesterday.

I can't really see it in that photo. The idler on the left side only has chain run on its top/top-right side (blocked) and the idler on the right is also blocked where the chain would be. I was trying to figure it out when I was in the park, but it's just too hard to see.

 

From what I was told, I don't think they've taken the chain out (yet).

 

Edit: In looking at the photo again, it actually looks like the chain is still there.

[methos]

Man thats so not cool, I have not been all year yet and was headed for frightfest. Both my parks are suffering with B-dash only running a single train last i knew and superman down.

[Axman]

This is so unusual, I--oh wait-- this is Six Flags. Never mind...
