About Six Flags New England

An excellent compact theme park filled with thrilling attractions and home of Superman Ride of Steel Bizarro. This park will thrill you, entertain you and feed you in true New England style.

History: Six Flags New England was formerly known as Riverside Park, due to its Eastern Border of the Connecticut River. Six Flags bought the park in 2000, and immediately installed Superman and other various attractions.

Bizarro, which re-opens May 23, is the primary coaster in the park. Made by Intamin AG of Switzerland, it is consistantly rated as one of the world's top coasters. As rated in the golden ticket award: superman got 1st place. The rollercoasters they have there are Bizarro, Batman the ride, Minderaser, flashback, and some kiddie rides. The major thrill rides are: Scream (a drop tower), Catapult(new, opened in 2007), and Tomohawk, and Houdini's Escape.
There have been rumors that catapult will be taken down sometime in the 2009-2011 seasons -- Last edited by D-Man O'Connell
