On August 3rd I joined my friends Ben, John, and Andrew along with Andrews Dad to Six Flags New England for Andrews Birthday. This was my 4th trip to Six Flags New England and I have already been on every coaster. I really don't like the park an awful lot but here we go.
We got there around opening and headed straight for the only reason to go there aka Bizarro. It was about a 45 minute wait but its always well worth it. It wasn't as good as I remembered and it looked really small compared to looking at TTD and Millennium a couple weeks ago. Still an amazing ride though and remains in the #3 spot. After riding I asked myself if I would rather be on Millennium or Bizarro and Millennium won easily. In my opinion I don't see in what world Bizarro could be better but thats just me and own view in things. Bizarro is still amazing and I find it amazing and I still have a soft spot for it since It was my favorite coaster for 3 years.
Next was the longest named coaster ever. Gotham City Gauntlet Escape from Arkham Asylum. Just a standard wild mouse and I love the batman themeing.

None of my friends understand my obsession with coasters and they think you get some sort of prize when you ride 100 or any kind of milestone. They like them but don't really see the big deal.
We skipped it but Catwomans Whip isn't that bad of a +1.
We ate lunch and headed for what I feel is second best coaster here. Batman the Dark Knight.
I really enjoy this ride and don't understand the hate it gets. I find it a very smooth fun ride with great inversions. It is one of the few coasters I like at Six Flags New England.
After that we went to a freaking horrible ride in Mind Eraser. Vekoma can't do anything right I have yet to find a coaster they made that I don't hate. We got off Mind Eraser and headed to the ride I looked forward to the most Thunderbolt. It was 3 years since I rode it and loved it. I find it the better of the two woods and very smooth it has a great fun aspect to it but if you’re looking for an insane drop or speed you went to the wrong ride. But by all means not a bad coaster I'd say its right behind Batman: The Dark Knight on my list of favorite SFNE coasters.
After that they rode Goliath since I hated it when I rode it last year I skipped it and then we skipped Flashback without hesitation either.
Once they got off Goliath we headed to the final two coasters we wanted. Pandemonium and Cyclone. First was Pandemonium. Probably my 4th favorite coaster here. I love this ride a lot. It is such a fun ride and I wish there were more around where I live. We got stuck on the way back into the station in the rain for 15 minutes. Now onto the final coaster of the day Cyclone. It wasn't as bad as I remember it but it was still horrible. I don't know which I want them to get rid of first Mind Eraser, Flashback, or Cyclone all three need to die. I would add Goliath to the list but since it’s the newest coaster it won't be going anytime soon.
I really don’t like Six Flags New England. It has a poor flat ride selection, to many vekoma coasters, a bunch of crap/+1 coasters and one really amazing coaster. It is a very gross and dirty park also. I don’t plan on visiting it again unless they open a new amazing coaster that the park desperately needs.
