Six Flags New England- End of Season Update

By -
The Six Flags New England season is coming to a close in a few weeks. I recently took my final visit of the season, and had a great time! In this update, I am going to go through multiple attractions and talk about how they are running, along with some photos!

Thrills By Day
 Because it is Fright Fest season, the park advertises daytime hours as Thrills by Day. Multiple flat rides around the park have been rethemed for this.


  • New England SkyScreamer Backwards- By order of Mayor Slayer, the park is running the worlds tallest swing ride BACKWARDS! Make sure you get a ride, as it is an incredible experience.




  • Pandemonium Zombie Coaster- This spinning coaster runs during Fright Fest with LED lights and multiple props. I think the ride is still running great, and my rides had an insane amount of spinning.

  • Voodoo Vortex- Kontiki runs with a new name during Fright Fest, while the experience is the same, it is still a fun ride. It only runs forwards, which is a shame, but usually never has a line.

  • Buzzsaw Bloodbath- The retheme is new for this years Fright Fest. Buzzsaw is running great, It is a fun to ride when you want to take a break from the coasters!

  • Terror Twist- The Teacups are also rethemed. At night, ride Terror Twist with strobe lights. It is a very dizzying experience. I also believe that the Tea Cups at SFNE are underrated. They run a great, fast cycle here and I really enjoy it!



  • Mini Walkthrough - Located in the South End is a new mini walkthrough. It was interesting to see it, and while there is not anything special about it, I would try it just to check it out.

The Normal Coasters 

  • Superman The Ride- I rode on the blue train and had a very good ride. I do hope the park focuses on the trains a lot during the off season, as the ride does have a little bit of a rattle/ shuffle. Other than that, this ride still proves why it deserves to be in the Top 3 Steel Coasters in the World.
  • Mind Eraser gave me a surprisingly smooth ride. I was very happy because the ride has a great, forceful layout. I really do believe that this ride is running great!
  • Goliath- This ride also delivered a shockingly smooth ride. The Premier train really is not working well. The ride had at least five seats out of service. This would be one of the best rides in the park if the Vekoma train was put back on. 

  • Batman The Dark Knight- This ride packs such a punch. It is still providing the same experience that it did on opening day. This coaster is very smooth and is still very fun! Hopefully it will get some paint during the off season.

  • Wicked Cyclone- This ride in a whole has improved over the season. Seat selection is now available, and both trains are running amazing. This ride is phenomenal!
Six Flags New England has had a great season, and we cannot wait to ride The Joker next summer!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

By -

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
