- Located in Agawam Massachusetts, Six Flags New England is home to 12 different roller coasters. From kiddie coasters to high thrill machines, this park has an interesting variety of roller coasters. In this video, I will be ranking every roller coaster at Six Flags New England.

The riddlers revenge used to be called the mind eraser if I remember correctly. It was very bumpy and one time when I road it my restraint came undone a little. Still buckled but I felt it become looser and after that I never road it again. That was probably around 2008ish I think
Yea it was the Mind Eraser never rode that coaster more than once per trip. Always left that one with a headache.
yeah i rode it 2 years ago and they changed the restraints, but if you’re too small you just bump around WAYY too much
Damn
Should be called the fucking vasectomy.
Rode it yesterday, its SMOOTH as Butter, they installed some new parts and your not being shaken around much
Hometown park represent
Yep I live in worcester and agar am is pretty close I’m going to six flags New England on July 5th
@@dusterfn629 im going on that day as well
@@persononearth6347 ayy
Same but flashback ain’t that bad
I live in Griswold so I go their a lot
I completely agree with wicked cyclone at number one. I felt the exact same way, I completely underestimated how good it would be and I originally didn’t even want to ride it. After my first experience on the coaster, I couldn’t get enough of it. I probably wrote it six times in a row.
Just so you know, I have been here over 40 times, and this list is 10000% accurate
Dang! I didn't realize until watching this the absurd amount of DC coasters this park has. I know it's Six Flags, but dang...
Superman, Riddler, Joker, Catwoman , Gotham City Gauntlet, Batman. If I'm not forgetting any, 6/12 DC coasters!
Coaster Daddy what up huge fan
Discovery Kingdom has 5
Yeah, first time I went with school I noticed. I’m not a huge fan of roller coasters but I loved the designs of these.
Yea they took a huge turn towards the DC brand in the early 2000s at first it was just the Superman ride and then after a couple of years the entire area that the Superman ride was in turned into Gotham City. I know they renamed the Mind Eraser to the Riddler but I'm not sure if there are any other rides that have been renamed.
Don’t forget, there’s Harley quin too
It’s not a coaster but still has the dc theme
FYI there's a single rider line on pandemonium. You just have to go through the flash pass line. Yes its weird
Oh really! I feel stupid now...
IMBNZ same with Batman and Goliath
@@XscreamThrills The one on Pandemonium is unmarked, so you have to know it exists. I don't even think it's mentioned on the map. You just have to know it exists. The others are marked.
It's really a shame Goliath removed the old trains for the new ones that run a lot rougher. My personal favorite goes back and forth, but it's currently Superman after it got the new wheels last year.
My home park!!! There are cloaned rides, but they are still good I'd say. I personally love Goliath and always have to ride it when I go, I'm surprised at how high you ranked it since most people despise it. After they refurbished the ride throughout all of 2018, the ride experience increased while the downtime decreased. I just will always think it could be better with Vekoma's original trains. I agree that Wicked Cyclone is number one, but Superman is a close second!! The twister ending is way better than the layouts at Darien Lake and SFAmerica.
Last time I went it was closed. I have been debating going on it, but I despise heights and roller coasters. But the park has a close place in my heart.
@@mykenzieforbes5125 It is worth the ride! Try to get front seat, it is definitely a thrill!! Gotta try everything once
Me and my sister got stuck on the towers
@Liam Borg well most flat rides in the world are clones, but Joker, Riddler, Goliath, Flashback, Pandemonium, Gotham City Gauntlet and Catwoman are clones
Goliath is removed from the map for 2021, it's probably getting a major refurb or leaving the park.
OMG! When I went to six flags New England, me and my brother could NOT stop riding Wicked Cyclone! It was like, our favorite ride there. I still feel like I’m in the back row and the air time feeling with the roll in your stomach is the best feeling on any ride! Me and my brother loved it because of the ride, Twisted Cyclone at six flags over Georgia, it was our favorite ride there and they are practically the same ride aside from small differences.
Having ridden both, I think Pandemonium is better than Riddler's Revenge
It’s at least definitely better than thunderbolt
@@emmabeaulieu1686 fax
You inspired me to go, and I went today for the first time. The lines were very long at the park, and they could have run more trains. Anyway, I went on Superman 4X, Wicked Cyclone 2X, and Thunderbolt 2X. My personal opinion is that Thunderbolt is a great classic coaster. The crowd seemed to love it, too. Many of the hills provided forces that I did not expect. There’s a reason it’s survived all these years. The park is also cleaner than SFGA.
It's a nice Six Flags park with an incredible 1,2 👊
@@XscreamThrills I know you are a roller coaster channel, but I was pleasantly surprised about their 1909 carousel, too. No idea they even had one.
I can enjoy a good classic carousel 🎠
Gotham city gauntlet was so painful the second I got on it!! That was a one and done for me.
Honestly, I loved Gotham city gauntlet. It wasn’t painful for me, and turned out being one of my favorites. Although ast time I rode it, I was 8 😅
I live 3mi from this park and was a seasons pass holder from 92’-97’. Many memories for me at “Riverside Park”.
I started going to riverside park when I was in 6th grade. It was an end of year band trip for us and we all looked forward to it so much every year. Awesome memories here!
Very cool!!
This is a good list!! I’m a coaster enthusiast and I agree. I think Superman should be first thou. But no theme park beats six flags!!
I still remember riding the original wooden Cyclone, and I was glad to see them incorporate the old wooden beams into the new ride's design. The new one is much better, btw.
You could like see the wood moving while waiting in line it was so sketchy 😂😂
@@JeweledJames Oh, I've experienced worse. One of of my rides, my friend and I were together. When we came into the brake track, the rear wheels of our car detached and the rear lifted up about 3 feet, putting us nearly perpendicular to the ground before slamming back down. When we got off, we reported what happened to the ride operator and I think they stopped running that train to inspect it.
The original used to beat the shit out of my legs, but the nostalgia made it awesome.
You are so lucky to even have ridden Goliath 😂
Hahahaha fax
Fun part about wicked cyclone is when your smaller and you lift off of your seat during some of the drops!
Here is my ranking of my Home Park's thrill rides(I'm taking this off the Six Flags website)
Note: I sadly have not ridden Cyborg Hyperdrive as it was closed for mantience the last 4 times I went. I also never rode Nightwing because of the extra fee but once it opens again I am riding it.
17. Fireball: I hate it, it is okay after one ride but never ride it twice, you will get sick.
16. Tomahawk: I hate it it's like a worse Spinsanity, you still feel sick and the ride sucks at least Spinsanity is fun.
15. New England SkyScreamer: It's fine nothing special but a good high swing ride.
14. Gotham City: Crime Wave: It's like a mini SkyScreamer and I like it because I'm a huge DC nerd.
13. Houdini: The Great Escape: I love this and it has good jump scares even if it isn't a big coaster.
12: Harley Quinn: Spinsanity: A good ride but you get sick after.
11. Pandemouin: A perfect;y fine ride that I like but don't love.
10. Thunderbolt: A pretty good and classic coaster but it isn't amazing.
9. Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham: This ride is okay thrill wise but the theming is great.
8. Joker: I love this ride and the full free spin style is awesome.
7. The Riddler's Revenge: It is nice to ride and I like it. It is pretty awesome.
6. Flashback: I know it gets a lot of hate but I like it, it is nice fun & simple and one of my favorites to ride.
5. Wicked Cyclone: I know this is a little low but I found it awesome but there, in my opinion, are better rides here.
4. Goliath: One of my favorite rides ever but it is always closed. Otherwise it might be 2nd.
3. Dark Knight: I love this ride and the way your feet hang during loop-de-loops is awesome.
2. Scream: I love this ride! It is an awesome ride and I love these drop rides and it is nice and big. Only drop ride I like better is the Doctor Doom one at Universal: Orlando
1. Superman: I love this ride and the drop is great at the start.
I totally agree with pick #1. It was an absolute blast riding it. Went yesterday before the storm hit. Managed to get into the waterpark and got on one of the slides.
Thunderbolt was my first roller coaster. Things fun.
Omg same! It's a great starter coaster ti get out those early jitters
Great video! I really miss this park, and can't wait to go back after seeing this video!
I love how I went on Superman and cyclone as my first two roller coasters ever
I honestly prefer the name Mind Eraser over Riddler's Revenge along with the color scheme.
I definitely preferred the color scheme of mind eraser. However I have to say the restraints are really good now. If they had kept the color and got the new restraints it would be awesome. If only they could have thought of another DC thing that would go with pink and blue
Agreed, but god damn did that ride leave you with a mini concussion.
Some kiddie coasters are wild
I mean I probably agree with the riddler s Revenge at 5 but for now at 4 because I haven’t ridden the Skyscreamer and I don‘t know if that will be better than the Riddlers Revenge because the Skyscreamer definitely looks fun. Also I kind of missed Goliath as demolition started in 2021 but I never went on the ride because my friends and I always found it sketchy how the ride was in constant Repare and it shut down permanently with a ”minor“ cable problem which everyone knows that there is no such thing as a “MINOR" cable problem when referring to a roller coaster. Shout out to this guy though for not letting popularity deteriorate wether Superman is better than the Cyclone when everybody knows the Cyclone is the best
i’ve lived in massachusetts my whole life but have never been to six flags…. i hope i go this summer 🤝
I really enjoyed this video thank you
I'm from Ireland, went to Boston in 2003 to visit family - we took a trip here to six flags new England.. 20 years on I'll never forget superman or flashback!!
Good stuff. We’re heading to this park for the first time on Sun. Having just ridden Steel Force last week at Dorney, I just can’t wait to compare that gem to Super man.
Also comparing wicked cyclone to its GA counterpart Twisted Cyclone.
Man I’m psyched!!! 😁
I have to tell you, that spot you put Goliath in is a very fair spot for me.
Glad to have great adventure as my home park. A lot of filler coasters at New England
went to this park a few days ago and found out that the thunderbolt was the first roller coaster both of my parents went on ever, wasn't
That thing is older then the dinosaurs.
It’s 80 this year
I agree with your top 5, as rough as Goliath is, those drops are so fun. Also I agree that all SLCs need vest restraints, it makes the ride actually enjoyable. As for the Joker, I personally enjoy the 4d Freespin coasters. Reminds me of the Zipper fair ride, but on a longer track.
Thanks for making a video on my home park ♥️
My pleasure 😊
Talk about your haves and have nots. For me this is a park with 2 outstanding coasters and after that it is filled with a lot of average to below average to bad roller coasters. The park really needs a better supporting cast of coasters because the top 2 look great!
I think a good launch coaster would fit in nicely here!
This is my home park, tbh as this is all opinion, I love the dark knight best of all. It's so smooth and fun. The restraints feel really secure and I just love it. Super man is fun but I have to give it to dark knight. Wicked cyclone is really fun and I too underestimated how crazy it would be. Though I have to say even then dark knight is my favorite. The only thing that could make dark knight better would be if it was 5 minutes longer.
8:17 i can totally relate when i was going down and the 3 last hills my thighs were killing me
My favorite coaster is Batman. We went on it 5 times because there was no line. We had got to the park early in the morning, and there was no one on Batman. (This is pre corona). The worst coaster for me is the flashback/boomerang (forgot lol) because going backwards on the loops hurt my head and it was so bumpy we had to literally sit around for 30 mins to get rid of the headache. I never rode that again
My first roller coaster was riddler revenge here. My friend convinced me to go on even though I hate coasters. It was amazing. It opened my doors to more coasters. Next time I go I want to try some more but not sure what. Goliath looks nice but both times I have gone it’s been closed. And Superman has had some bad experiences with kids at my school. Batman looks cool. But my favorite is pandemonium or thunderbolt.
Same exact story for me! I was afraid of looping coasters as a kid but my friends convinced me to ride the mind eraser (original name) and it opened me up to the world of thrill coasters.
Love videos of my home park like this
I am from this area of Massachusetts and I’ve been to Six Flags quite a few times. I am horrified of large roller coasters are the only ones I will ride are Pandemonium, Catwoman’s Whip, Gotham City Gauntlet, and Thunderbolt. My favorite of these is probably Pandemonium, it’s super horrifying to me but that’s what makes it fun. Awesome review!
I promise you if you give Superman a chance, you'll have s great time 👍
@@XscreamThrills If I ride it I’ll have to update you! Thanks for the words of encouragement!
@@blackvbird did you ever ride it?
Only coaster I haven’t ridden here is Great Chase honestly bc I forgot it was even there😂
The 9 dislikes are the kids that arnt tall enough to get on the good rides
For real!
"I treat them more like a virus that's needed to be irradiated. "
LMAO SO TRUE! But flash back is 10 times better than Goliath. It's still rough but better. Also Riddler is very good. But being stopped that hard at the brakes is not good lol
Yess wicked cyclone was amazing
Number One... Wicked Cyclone, yeah! I highly recommend it to people who are 48 inches. It’s fun!
im going soon and i gotta try it
OMG Finnaly Somebody Agrees With Me On Goliath!
Same!
GOLIATH GANG!
I think Joker is to low on the list... It’s actually my fourth favorite roller coaster at the park. With Batman, Wicked Cyclone, and Superman in front of it
I just got back home and I got stuck on the starting hill on wicked cyclone, great experience!
One of my friends got stuck upside down on The Joker.
To be totally honest. The first ride I went on here was wicked cyclone and I completely agree. it was awesome
My 19-year-old & I will be going here in September. We have been here many summers. Great park!
Nice vid!
YAAASSS! I’m more than happy you put wicked cyclone before superman. I love them both so so much! Fortunately for me the restraints don’t bother my legs on Superman, so it does make for a seriously hard decision. But I agree with cyclone being the best because Superman is just way too long. As soon as you go underground I’m just done with the ride. But theres two more humps to slow you down that I really hate, but obviously it’s needed lol. Thanks for the video!
It's too long? What about those finale bunny hills?
My home park!!!
I think a launch coaster is needed. An Intamin multi-launch along the lines of Taron would fit perfect here. They could get rid of the river rapids ride and place it there. I also think eventually a new woody would fit great. Placing a new GCI in the picnic grove area would be great imo.
A modern woodie or launch coaster would work 👍
@@XscreamThrills Why not both? introduce the first GCI launched woody, with it's new Millennium Flyer trains and track?
the riddler made my head hurt so bad. My best friend hit her head and blacked out. I rode it for the first time yesterday and I said NEVER AGAIN.
me and my dad had a not so amazing experience riding it
Haven't been to the park in a long time. The Riddler used to be called the Mind Eraser and used to always leave me with a headache. The Superman restraints were put in for a good reason. There was an incident were a handicap individual was able to get out of the restraints and feel to his death. After the new restraints were put in it was very uncomfortable for me to ride as a taller than average person but still love the ride. Haven't been since the mid 2000s definitely would like to go back and ride since of the new coasters.
That incident happened at another park
@@XscreamThrills it happened in 2004 at Six Flags New England. I think there was an incident at a different park later on. archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2004/05/02/conn_man_dies_in_six_flags_coaster_accident/
@@XscreamThrills No… it did happen at SFNE bud. It was my local park until I moved to Florida and was a huge news story back when it happened.
@CK he was handicapped but the main contributer was weight. It's sad too, the man was ejected in front of his mom trying to hold onto him, on the very last turn. Very unfortunate event.
My list - 11-Flashback 10.-Great Chase 9.-Gotham City Gauntlet 8.-Catwoman’s Whip 7.-Riddler’s Revenge 6.-Thunderbolt 5.-Pandemonium 4-The Joker 3.-Batman Dark Knight 2.-Wicked Cyclone 1.-Superman The Ride
gotham city gauntlet shut down on my younger cousin and i yesterday, we were stuck at the top for 10 mins
Home park
Would love to see a video like this for SFGAm once you visit! ☺️
Well, my plan was to go this year...Guess that's not happening :(
Yeah it’s my home park, and I’m very sad to think it will probably not open at all this year
Ah Massachusetts! Paragon Park which after 3 rerides without getting off at age 14 I knew trip 4 had something wrong. I kept turning to my much taller friend "something's Wrong!" Ride closed immediately after. Went way too fast. Around 1974
Ahhhh. The Giant Coaster. I used to go there with my Grandparents many years ago!
12. Great Chase
11. Catwoman
10. Goliath did I even ride this, I think I got a concussion so I forget
9. GCGEFAA
8. Thunderbolt
7. Flashback
6. Joker
5. Pandemonium
4. Riddler
3. Dark Knight
2. Wicked Cyclone
1. Superman
Alexander Axais I actually have my list almost the exact same as yours, but pandemonium and Joker is flipped
Nathan Mckenney cool
Thunderbolt needs to be higher considering how old that coaster is
@@wavyiann9788 I found it to be kinda boring and forceless
Love New England Massachusetts old roller cooayer
i love six flags new england(its the six flags closest to were i live) but this is problem mostly with the staff they push the restraints way to tight onto you causing a lot of painful rides especially with the wicked cyclone but thats more new staff compared to the old staff who would make the restraints feel safe but also not too tight
This is my home park, I haven’t been on Wicked Cyclone or Flashback. Catwoman’s Whip has a HUGE train.
I totally agree with you about Superman's seats. They SUCK. I think for that reason alone I find myself enjoying Riddler and Bamtan more. If it had similar seating to Batman or Riddler it would be a contender for the #1 spot. However, nothing beats Wicked Cyclone!
Wait so the boomerang models are corona?!
When I rode Batman in the back row, there was a decent bit of heatbanging on the corkscrews, especially the second one.
I rode up in the front and it was smooth
It’s a front row ride, but I would recommend the middle row
Nice list. (Personally I think the best moment on Wicky is the double down.)
I love the first outer banked turn and final zero g roll
Im quite sad i dd not get to ride goliath as im pretty sure its done gor as closed for season
my home Theme park, I go there every time for Mybirthday BEsides this year bc corona but MY Favourite ride for years was The PandomoniumI loved the thrill but I rode it so much That It isin't really much of a thrill anymore I have conversations on it ither wise my favorite Now is the Batman
I think Superman and Wicked Cyclone are tough competition for #1. Heres how I would rank the two:
Theming: Wicked Cyclone
Airtime: Superman
Shorter Wait time: Superman
General ride experience: Superman
Airtime distribution: Wicked Cyclone
Superman is my personal winner
This is always a park that I wish Cedar Fair would snatch up from Six Flags. It has so much more potential than what Six Flags uses , which is true of a few Six Flags parks, but I guess i'm biased towards this one as its' my home park.
I hated the restraints on Wicked Cyclone. I have long legs, and the shin guard bends them back so my feet don't even touch the floor. It's a great ride with awful restraints. The Superman U bricks suck too, but if the ride ops aren't stapling, I can get a little room in them.
Crazy I got stuck on Wicked Cyclone yesterday...
I went on the amazing wicking colossus, DUDEEEEE IT WAS SO FASTTTT
All SFNE needs is another large investment and they would be on the path to being a destination park. I really think a good, original BNM hyper would really put this park on the map. I know they already have a hyper, but BNM hypers and intamin hypers are very different. Ofcourse, this would never happen because SF doesn't have the money and if they did they probably wouldn't want to dump it in this park. But thats just me dreaming. I would love to have that at my home park!! Great video as always!!
Let’s hope for reopening in America, as most of the theme parks at Europe have already announced openings, and I heard that the first American theme park to open is Silverwood which I believe will open in May 30 this year
I think my plans for the 2020 season is going to involve more southern parks.
My home waterpark, Safari Joes H2O in Tulsa, OK, is opening Saturday, May 23rd, which was actually their planned opening date anyway. I'm thinking that my home town might actually have the first park to open in the country, and the only one to not lose a single operating day.
My home park, nice! (But I do like spending a couple of hours to go to SFGA instead.) With that being said though, our top two coaster are probably the best coasters in NE, period. Sucks that Superman has those bulky lap bar restraints, but they're there for a reason (because of an unfortunate accident). Otherwise, it's a great coaster.
When I went to New England in October of 2019 I experienced some head banging on the corkscrew of Batman in the back row
I'm going here in August
Wicked Cyclone is my favorite RMC I-Box
First! Love the vids >)
my hands are sweating just watching this video...
Here’s my ranking of the ones I’ve ridden. I haven’t ridden Joker but I’ve ridden the one at Great Adventure so I’ll count it.
10. Catwoman’s Whip
9. Flashback
8. Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum
7. Riddler Revenge
6. Thunderbolt
5. Pandemonium
4. The Joker
3. Batman: The Dark Knight
2. Superman: The Ride
1. Wicked Cyclone
Have you been to the big e in September
Catwoman’s Whip...didn’t that used to be called “Poison Ivy” back in the day? That was my favorite coaster there as a kid :). Kind of dig the original name more haha
It was called Poison Ivy's Tangled Train
@@XscreamThrills *Twisted train ;)
Im such a sucker for spinning coasters I actually think Pandemonium is the 3rd best coaster in the park.
I like the two park yest one park got different but I enjoy most water parks
Wicked is Cyclone is by far the best roller coaster ride. Your ranking was spot on.
I was supposed to go there next month but now you'll have to wait until next summer to hear my rankings of these coasters because of the pandemic.😷
You’ll go there soon, it’s my home park
I was so fucking scared on the wicked cyclone my seat belt wouldn’t click and I only noticed when the ride already started
Ok Superman’s restraints don’t bother me and I think wicked cyclone and Superman are tied and I just rode these yesterday so it’s fresh in my mind
my favorite ride is the joker but wicked cyclone is close up
Interesting first pick
I haven't been to an amusement park in years. I can't handle intense rides anymore.
Rip Goliath gone but never forgotten
My home park 40 mins away
I truly miss Superman the ride when it was bizarro simply because of the hype up to the drop hopefully they find a way to include that back into the Superman theming.
I’ve been on all of the rides
