Happy Thanksgiving!

By -
Here at New England Coaster News, we have much to be thankful for. Over the past few months, we have grown slowly but surely, and I would like to thank everyone who reads our posts and likes our Facebook Page. 

I am also very thankful for all of the wonderful parks who have agreed to do Q&A sessions with us! It means a lot to us when a park speaks with us, and it is great to hear from people in the industry!
  • Our Interview with Jerry Brick was our first ever video special! Mr.Brick will answer any question regarding Lake Compounce and includes enthusiasts everywhere he can! It is great to have somebody like him running a park so close to us!
Our Q&A with Jen McGrath back in September was the first one that we did. I have met Jen on multiple occasions, and not only does she enjoy speaking with coaster enthusiasts, she really does care about Six Flags New England and the experience they provide!
And not forgetting our great Q&A's with other parks:

We are also thankful for all the great coasters in New England, and all of the work that the parks have recently been doing for their rides!
For example, Lake Compounce is doing a huge retrack on Boulder Dash, Six Flags restored Bizarro back to Superman, and took the aging Cyclone and brought new life into it as Wicked Cyclone!

We here at New England Coaster News wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!. What are you thankful for?

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

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
