Opening date set for New England's new straddle coaster
Quantum Accelerator will open April 17, Six Flags New England announced today.
The Intamin family launch coaster originally was announced to open last year, but Six Flags delayed the straddle coaster's debut to this year. The 2,604-foot coaster will launch to a top speed of 45 mph along its course, which will reach a top height of 59 feet.
"Quantum Accelerator brings a new level of excitement to the park and to the region,” Park Manager Bill Falzone said. “We’re proud to add this coaster to our attraction lineup as it represents our park’s commitment to delivering unmatched thrills, immersive entertainment and lifelong memories."
The new coaster will be available to Six Flags season passholders starting April 11, in advance of the coaster's official debut of April 17.
Quantum Accelerator is located in Six Flags New England's Crackaxle Canyon land. The minimum height to ride is 48 inches, with a maximum allowed rider height of 77 inches.

As I said when it was first announced, this looks like a fun family ride and a good fit for the park. I'm not planning a special trip to go experience it, but definitely look forward to trying it next time I find myself in the northeast.
I agree with AJ. This is by no means a grate crasher, but could be a fun little addition for a park that already has a pretty good top-end lineup of coasters. However, I still find it problematic when parks market coasters as "family attractions" that have 48" height requirements and also have limited capacity.
