Devins3 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Did they open it early for season pass holders? Or is it only open to season pass holders all weekend , I am thinking of stopping out there on my way to Lake Compounce on Sunday to snag a ride.

BoulderDash Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cyclone. There are orange markers around the ride, markings on supports that say cut here, and other markings on a bunch of supports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Cyclone. There are orange markers around the ride, markings on supports that say cut here, and other markings on a bunch of supports. I say follow SFFT and restore the famous 1st drop and add some double ups and a zero-g-roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Had a very interesting experience at the park today. I was on Flashback and once the entire train was on the lift, it stopped. Of course, the GP starts freaking out instantly. They start to yell things like "Get us down!", "This is unsafe!" and (my personal favorite) "I'm gonna sue the f$@k out of you!" Maintenance arrived in a few minutes and solved the issue. When it was announced that the ride would be restarting, the GP freaked out yet again. They wanted to come down and walk off. Being the credit whore I am, I of course wanted to get it over with. The ride takes place with great intensity (I guess the brakes aren't used in maintenance mode). A guest relations rep was waiting at the exit and she got quite the earful from the GP. On couple yelled that the ride should be shut down. One particular guest (try to match his earlier quote) was NOT happy that the ride was restarted. He was so angry that he was threatening to fight the ride ops (I'm not sure how it went there). Security was called and he was escorted out of the park. It was one of the funniest GP over-reactions that I've ever seen and I knew that I had to share it with TPR.

Canobie Coaster Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Wow that is simply ridiculous. I've been to Six Flags New England a lot over the years and I think that may be worse than all of the stories that parkgoers say about Bizarro and its accident.

El Toro_Ryan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hey me and some friends plan to go to SFNE soon. We were just wondering what's the best plan of attack to get all the coasters in and during what months in the summer does Bizarro usually run the fastest?

Brassinthegrass Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 When it comes to Bizzaro, I can not help you there... I'd say the hotter it is, the better it runs... But it has been running great this season! I usually run for Batman, it's usually up and running within ten minutes of opening, then go for Bizzaro, by then the line calms down from the Bizzaro morning rush... I then hit the Gotham and Cat whip rides for coaster credits and head to thunder bolt, take a ride on the sky ride to Cyclone and then déjà Vu... I mean Goliath...

KrakenKing Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I plan on going to SFNE this summer with some friends, and his girlfriend really wants to ride Scream. I know it has the option to be a Turbo Drop, Space Shot, or Combo tower... is it completely random? Last time I was there it only ran the SS cycle, and it was pretty weak. Of course, only one tower was open... does that make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 ^^Does the park still leave 2 middle cars empty when the temperature reaches above a certain point? I know they were having issues with the eddy-current brakes getting too hot and trains overshooting the brake run and causing downtimes. When I was there back in '05 they did.

Of course, only one tower was open... does that make a difference? It feels random to me when I go on it, but I do know the original tower the closest to Thunderbolt's entrance can only run turbo drop as it was originally named Hellevator before the other two towers were added. I wish the other two ran Combo all the time though, I've been when one is running space shot and the other combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother asking as you WILL be greeted with a rude response no matter how nicely you ask. Hey me and some friends plan to go to SFNE soon. We were just wondering what's the best plan of attack to get all the coasters in and during what months in the summer does Bizarro usually run the fastest? You'll have no problem riding everything in a day but I'd suggest riding Goliath first because it breaks down all the time. The sooner you get that credit the better because it will break down at some point. It's also unable to operate if it's cold, raining or too windy. I'm really interested to hear your thoughts on the park... mainly it's operations as I always find them to be horrendous, especially when compared to the operations at Great Adventure which are stellar (except for Bizarro). I know you work for Six Flags and can't come out bashing the place, but given the way the ride ops act towards the guests at Great Adventure I'm expecting you to be pretty disappointed in the policies and staff at Six Flags New England.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to post up a trip report after my visit. ^^Does the park still leave 2 middle cars empty when the temperature reaches above a certain point? I know they were having issues with the eddy-current brakes getting too hot and trains overshooting the brake run and causing downtimes. When I was there back in '05 they did. I know an extra brake fin was added to the brake run following the collision back in like '04 but I don't know if that was before '05 or after. That's interesting though. You can tell Intamin learned their lesson with the short brake runs found on the Supermans. Their mega coasters after that have much longer brake runs.

Blind Idiot God Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Had a very interesting experience at the park today. I was on Flashback and once the entire train was on the lift, it stopped. Of course, the GP starts freaking out instantly. They start to yell things like "Get us down!", "This is unsafe!" and (my personal favorite) "I'm gonna sue the f$@k out of you!" Maintenance arrived in a few minutes and solved the issue. When it was announced that the ride would be restarting, the GP freaked out yet again. They wanted to come down and walk off. Being the credit whore I am, I of course wanted to get it over with. The ride takes place with great intensity (I guess the brakes aren't used in maintenance mode). A guest relations rep was waiting at the exit and she got quite the earful from the GP. On couple yelled that the ride should be shut down. One particular guest (try to match his earlier quote) was NOT happy that the ride was restarted. He was so angry that he was threatening to fight the ride ops (I'm not sure how it went there). Security was called and he was escorted out of the park. It was one of the funniest GP over-reactions that I've ever seen and I knew that I had to share it with TPR. This sounds about right. SFNE gets lots of stupid, trashy people who have no clue what the hell they're talking about, and that kind of behavior is absolutely par for the course for them.

LOL GADV gets the same kind of people. I'll be working the entrance to El Toro and it'll have an empty line but the GP walks up to it and sees the 90 minutes sign from this point and they leave thinking it's actually a 90 minute wait for a non existent line. People will also see trains stop on the lift when we dispatch too quickly and they freak out and get out of line. They'll walk out of the line and tell me the ride isn't safe.

ECZenith Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'm on my way to SFNE right now. I will post a full report and photos upon my return. I'm especially interested in the orange flags and cut markers on Cyclone. If the rumors are true we may be seeing TWO RMC projects at my two home parks. I would love to see new life breathed into the old gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
