Six Flags New England is a family fun theme park located in Agawam, Massachusetts. It is a fun place to go if you are bored or just need something to do on a nice day. At the park, they have a variety of roller coasters and attractions with varying thrill levels. They also have a new coaster being introduced for 2025. The quantum accelerator will be six flags New England’s first launch coaster and first straddle coaster. It will fill the space where Goliath used to be and it will have over 11 airtime hills and a top speed of 45 miles per hour!
The largest ride that they have at the park is the Superman: the ride. It features a whopping 221 foot drop and a top speed of 77 miles per hour. The ride includes multiple airtime hills, and is also one of the longest steel coasters in america. Another fun ride that they have is the wicked cyclone. This coaster is a dual rail steel hybrid coaster with an amazing 81 degree, near vertical drop. It also has multiple upside down inversions. It is probably the most intense coaster at the park.
November 10, 2024….. This day was a very sad day to roller coaster enthusiast’s all around the world. If you don’t know what i’m referring to, let me fill you in. November the 10th was rumored to be the last operating day for the tallest and fastest roller coaster, Kingda Ka.
Kingda Ka is located at Six Flags Great Adventure and was a marvel of engineering. It was built by Intamin in 2005 and was easily the most popular ride at the park. It reached an unbelievable speed of 128 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds, then you would travel up a 90 degree, 456 foot vertical hill. Finally, you would plummet down a near vertical drop with a corkscrew that spins you around a full 365 degrees during the drop!
Sadly all good things must come to an end, as this world famous coaster is set to be taken down shortly after its last run date on november 10, 2024. The reason why is because of the Six Flags company merging with Cedar Fair. Most people are really hoping that the change will be revoked, however, it is highly unlikely.
