BlackHole2005 Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Hello Everyone!, Im so exited abutthe summer holidays because im going to boston tovisit my cousins and my mum and dad have promised me they would take me to Six Flags New England! This will be my first Six Flags park and Im really exited. Can Anyone help me with places to eat there, ride reccomendations etc. Any information on this park will be great and if possible could you post some phoros of the park! Cheers, BlackHole2005 ( I hope I got this topic in the right forum!, if not, can someone move it!)
ECZenith Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 Hello Blackhole, i think I can help... SFNE is my home park, and I visit quite often. First off, what day are you going? Weekends can get busy by late morning so I suggest going mid-week if possible, especially if you want to visit Hurricane Harbor which can draw hour plus queues for popular waterslides like the not-to-be-missed Typhoon water coaster. The park has been running two trains recently on the world's best coaster (considered by many at least...) Superman Ride Of Steel. I haven't waited more than 20 minutes for this awesome Intamin, and you should make it a point to ride in the very last and very front seats. If SRoS has a long wait, I suggest buying the "flash pass" to make sure you get at least a dozen rides on the thing. If you've never been to SFNE before, you're just not going to want to leave this coaster... Batman (the floorless B&M) never has much of a line, unless of course they're running one train. Mind Eraser (Vekoma SLC) has been down since the beginning of the season, so you may miss a credit... Pandemonium, the park's spinning coaster is a lot of fun and gets LONG waits in the day due to poor capacity. You should really head down to this area of the park first and ride it, Blizzard River (which gets LONG lines on hot days) Catapult (awesome S&S Sky Swatter) and Cyclone, which also gets long lines due to them usually running one train. Again, the water rides draw insane crowds on hot days, so also make sure you hit Splashwater Falls early. SFNE also has an awesome collection of flat rides, one of the best I have found anywhere. They have a very rare Huss fly away, frisbee, top spin, and breakdance, as well as the aforementioned Catapult. The water park is excellent and has one of the best varieties of slides around. But again, hit the big slides aerly or suffer the long lines... As far as food goes... like all Six Flags parks, th efood is overpriced and underwhelming. I suggest the subway down by Flashback and Toon Studios for at least a decent meal. There's plenty of pizza/burgers fastfood crap all over the place, but as far as quality, you can't beat subway. Sorry, I know this is a bit long... When you first get into the park, you'll notice a small gap in between two brick buildings (on the left) that leads right to Crackaxle Canyon. I suggest going through this narrow path and heading right on over to Pandemonium while everyone runs for Superman, which if aything, will have it's second train added by the time you get to it... If you have any questions, please feel free to ask... and enjoy the best-themed six flags park in the chain.
BlackHole2005 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 Thank you very much for the advice, that is very helpfull!
ketchup101 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 i go every friday if you want good pizza go down the street to nicks and let the person know so you can get a hand stamp. don't eat at the sub way in the park cuz it is soooooooo expensive go to nicks pizza cuz it is good ask for a big slice of pizza. and when r u going. if you are going get a season pass good at all six flags parks.
BlackHole2005 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 We will be going there during the summer. Are there any indoor type rollercoasters there because I love dark rides! I am extremely looking forward to going now! I cannot wait to ride Superman-The escape!!

I am extremely looking forward to going now! I cannot wait to ride Superman-The escape!! Actually, it's Superman: Ride of Steel. But close enough. Do you have the dates set for heading to SFNE? Because I live 20 minutes from the park and I know that place like the back of my hand.
ECZenith Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Sorry, no indoor rides... They used to have an indoor Chance wipeout but it sucked so they replaced it with a meet 'n greet. Waaaaaay back they had a dark boat ride which later became a "jungle cruise" ripoff, which later became Shipwreck Falls.
Guy T. Koepp Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I was just there recently. Awesome choice in 6F parks. I had a great time with Craig (Token Yankee Guy). He is a great source of park knowledge, but he walks very fast. So put on your speedy shoes! I did a huge trip report about it if you want to check it out. I will try to create a link for you. Here goes nothing?http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25419 I hope it works as I am a complete computer idiot and this is the first time I am trying to paste a link. Have fun! SRoS is awesome! See, it didn't work. I suck! Here, let me try and fail again. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25419 I did it! I did it! I've learned a new internet skill! Woo Hoo! I am that much closer to being dangerous!
