Superman: Ride Of Steel…Better
Six Flags New England Announces Major Transformation


Six Flags New England announced today plans to reinvent what has already been named the best Steel Coaster on the Planet, according to Amusement Today, the nation's leading theme park industry publication.  Since its debut in 2000, SUPERMAN: RIDE OF STEEL has electrified guests around the world.  In 2009, this incredible machine will be redesigned with imaginative special effects and newly renovated trains.  The transformation will be complete by Memorial Day.

“Six Flags is regarded as the undisputed leader in thrill ride innovation and at Six Flags New England we're taking that reputation to the next level,” said Larry Litton, Park President. “The coaster that separates itself from all others will deliver an unprecedented ride experience.”

Going above and beyond traditional steel coasters, this state-of-the-art invention will undergo a revolutionary makeover.  The adventure will send riders up 20 stories while flying through fog banks, fire bursts and heart-pumping audio for three minutes and twenty two seconds of extreme thrills.

The re-launch of SUPERMAN: RIDE OF STEEL will mark the start of another exciting season as Six Flags New England cements its position as the area's premier "daycation" destination.  The park offers fun for every member of the family with world class shows, three children's areas — Wiggles World, Thomas Town and Looney Tunes Movie Town and New England's largest water park, Hurricane Harbor — FREE with park admission.

Guests can experience all that Six Flags New England has to offer with a 2009 Season Pass. This purchase offers the best value with unlimited visits to the theme park and water park and comes with a coupon book featuring over $300 in special offers including free concerts and 5 Bring-A-Friend-Free tickets.

I hate fire bursts. I think fire elements are incredibly irresponsible.

That's the one thing I've always said after riding SRoS..

"This ride is great.. it just needs fire."

Joshua B - September 15, 2008 07:29 PM (GMT)
Good point. With all the rides they could improve, they target Superman?

James - September 15, 2008 07:42 PM (GMT)
Well.. I do see the new trains as a GOOD idea... Maybe they can get rid of the awful, awful lapbars.

awww that means no new coaster

For now. :blah:

Kroger8 - September 16, 2008 04:30 AM (GMT)
Honestly though.. with the way people are not-travelling..

On a management level, I think Six Flags is making a good move for next season..

Trying to make rides they already have.. newer and better.

Monster Plantation at Over Georgia is getting a refurbishment as well.

what is monster plantation? I have seen it all over the internet but have no idea what it ia. Can someone please help me?

James - September 17, 2008 02:42 AM (GMT)
Its a darkride at the Six Flags in Atlanta.
I rode it back in 04.. All I remember is.. You ride in a boat in a "flooded out" southern plantation... That monsters now live in.

What he said.^

Plus.. it's got a really annoying song from the like.. the 70s, that gets stuck in your head all day.

But I think the soundtrack is so worn out now, that you can't tell what they're saying.

The ride is a bit dated but it's a fun family ride. This could easily be messed up.

kpmcman - September 22, 2008 01:21 AM (GMT)
Where do guys think the fire is going to be? I think it will be in the overbanked turn, the middle of one of the hilixes, and just out side the two tunnels.

mrceagle - September 22, 2008 10:14 PM (GMT)
I doubt the fire will be in more then one location. It definitely will be no were near the over-banked turn. there is a natural gas line in that area. The only place safe and has space would be the Helexs.

yeah that would kinda suck if six flags exploded
