the m&m stairs are an iconic & nostalgic part of this whole park & nothing u say will change my mind ty for coming to my ted talk
Mikasa Ackermann lol
Lolllllllllllll
EXACTLY
Exactly
EXACTLY!! Only Six Flags I’ve been to and it’s SO NASTOLGIC
This Six Flags is more of a vibe when you go in the summer . It’s really a summer type park. More people, more events, and the waterpark is definitely great. The rides are great too but It’s just better in the summer
Natural Beauty fax
Yeah but riding New England Sky Screamer in 47 degree weather and it was insane!
What about fright feast
I love going in the summer because of the water park
Yeah, I agree with you.
Totally agree! Superman and Wicked Cyclone are the best parts. Superman was actually really fun as Bizarro too.
Bizarro is Superman but painted purple
The Dark Knight and The Harley Quinn are Badass rides too
Haha. I remember bolting straight for Superman for school field trips right when the rope dropped. Classic
0:24 "Thrilling flat rides" shows super loop
the worst person its not a coaster
Subtle way of throwing shade at Six Flags for calling these things coasters. I love it.
Well I mean if your ride op is a d**k
The dude it's called fire ball (I go there)
''It's not a coaster''
This park needs a launch coaster!
Christian Moss yess like a primier
*premier
Yep!!
Something like Kaonen formerly at Liseberg wouldn't even be a bad addition for this park but they have no room I don't thin
Exactly! An Intamin Blitz would fit nicely there :D
Now when the park was Riverside up until 1999, the parking lot was actually where the water park sits. You did not have to cross over main street via that bridge. The employee lot behind batman used to be guest parking and spanned all the way to main street. Everything to the Right of the slide complex with Shark Attack used to be parking. The employee lot in front of the water park also used to be guest parking as well. The lot was a big L shape.
GP teenagers need to get off Taylor's lawn.
Brian MacDonald agreed
Lol. Gp are annoying 😑
THEAMERICANBRANDGAMER you are right I garendarntee you
Brian MacDonald yeah.
lmao
3:10 THAT IS NOTE ENTIRELY TRUE - If you have a PLATINUM FLASH PASS double rides are allowed. Also if your a Diamond Elite duting member only times too.
OK, person who's totally not just a Six Flags rep on an alt.
that would be true if in 2017 they ended the double ride program for platinum flash passes at most of their parks. (and all of them by 2018) They now use a % off line style so the other passes became worse, the new platinum is about as good as gold used to be.
As a person who has visited SFNE since it was Riverside, I can say that your review is spot on, when I visit aI spend the first half of the day at the water park. And your right that the local park is not fully responsible for the the tackiness, I’ve seen it in all other SF parks, it’s like corporate wants no type of uniqueness, they seem to want the parks to be the same.
Six Flags NE is my home park and I think it's a low key common complaint that we all hate the camps. When I see the school and coach buses all lined up in their designated area in the parking lot I cringe. I recommend going to the park on a weekday (tuesday) to avoid them. I'd never thought about how odd the layout is because I've been going there since I was like 4 but yeah it is set up strangely. It's a good park though. Superman is New England's only claim to fame so we need it lol
Liv Cohen if Agawam schools or maybe different schools are still open Six Flags is closed on weekdays so u will have to wait
Liv Cohen oh well watch out my school's coming this Friday
Just Dance Tube I might go maybe...this weekend
Liv Cohen I like canobie more.
Liv Cohen I went on a Wednesday and it was raining and overcast but there was still a lot of people from camps
Finally, a video on my home park. Thank you
A good Person I’m go there in a few weeks any tips
this being my home six flags park, and probably my favorite six flags. (hard to say as i freaking love eltoro and the safari in nj) but if your having issues with line cuts here report it asap to the staff and they reck the guests. They force the group and who they were trying to get up to back the the end of the line. (and if it goes farther they just kick the people out. ulike alot of parks they have completely no tolerance with guests. if your ruining the experiences in any way for someone else ) It happens alot more then you would think. Also if you have a season pass, you can get in before the line drop and its not nearly as bad once you get through the rope. they are also extending the batman area into the dc area and mostlikly are going to turn kidsopolis into a dc super friends area so that from superman to batman its all dc.
im not sure if the entrance was built after sfne was built but sfne was built a full 106 years before sfga so yeah...
꧁lil Liam꧂ they redid the entrance and this might of cane first
Eat your cereal
That reride policy is a total drag...Carowinds let me stay on both Intimidator and Fury 325 when the park was near empty...I once got 4 straight rerides in the front on Intimidator. I have yet to visit another Six Flags Park.
Thunder Dash they don’t do it anymore thankfully
If u want to know about the food, one word Fries. Almost all meals include Fries.
Was just there a day ago with my friends passed out on Superman😂 wicked cyclone is awesome!
Definitely one of the better Six Flags parks out there. Landscaping, rides, operations, food options, and clientele are all pretty good for a decent size Six Flags park, but the no reride policy is stupid. They do need some help with their coaster lineup outside Superman and Wicked Cyclone. A launch coaster is easily the most important thing they need to round out their lineup. I give SFNE an 8/10.
Sense the parks is suppose to be family friendly a launch coaster probably will come soon
South Jersey Coasters take out goliath for launch coaster like phobia
Pandamonium and Thunderbolt are incredible.... and don't you say it's bumpy it's not I was in the back seat of Thunderbolt.
@@loganlesage2967 probably because you are scared to go on superman. And those are rides you are not scared enough to go on. LOL
@@loganlesage2967 that's why you like them
This is my home park and the GP teens are always there getting yelled at if they would just behave the lines would move so much faster, sometimes they threaten to close the ride for everyone because it’s all misbehaving kids in the line with just a few people waiting to ride
This is my home park and on wicked cyclone I got to stay in my seat 3 times in a row, not sure why they didn't let you that day.
Forgot to mention Napoleon Dynamite Joker...
Napoleon Dynamite Joker > Jarod Leto Joker
True...
One major thing to keep in mind is it only became Six Flags New England in 1998. Before it was bought, it was Riverside Park, an amusement park which opened in *1870* , we getting historical here. So the entrance may be a copy of Six Flags America which opened in 1974, but hey seems like they tried brand consistency, and then gave up. Six Flags New England/ Riverside generationally between me and my dad is a solid fixture to our theme park experiences growing up.
The last time I was able to go was about a decade ago, and though I do try to keep updated, seems I missed when they put that second boomerang style coaster in. I do know they've renamed coasters/rides, one being Riddler's Revenge used to just be called The Mind Eraser. A small coaster by Superman was once Poison Ivy's Tangled Train is now Cat Woman's Whip. The very boring (I've ridden it) soon to leave Kryptonite Collider flat-ride [also by the Superman] used to be Joker's Wildcard before the 4D coaster went in. Bonus news on that prime flat-ride spot next to the Superman, they took out the Nightwing ages ago which still bums me out, but soon here in 2021 their new SuperGirl Flyer is supposed to be going in and only difference being SuperGirl is seated where Nightwing was lying belly down. Speaking of said 4D ride, the Joker coaster as well as Harley's Spinsanity are also incredibly new. So they are always leaning more into that DC theme it seems.
Layout can probably be based on the fact that they probably only had so much they could buy with land grants of the surrounding area and move outward from the original park. Most rides are now being stuck into where they fit within the current perimeter. They were also building around the original rides they wanted to keep like the wooden Cyclone (now Wicked Cyclone, they redid it in 2014, because oof the integrity of the original was finally were the rickety-ness was not fun but dangerous) and the Thunderbolt (which its still holding up for now, my little historical preservation heart is happy).
As for major theme parks, for MA, pretty sure Agawam is the biggest, don't quote me on that, which sadly means its also the #1 noneducational end of year fieldtrip destination. I think the next closest things are Coney Island, Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ and Six Flags Great Escape in NY by Lake George, so minimum 3 hours hours away. Six Flags New England is also literally down the road from a major cluster of several colleges, which includes the flagship campus for Umass and Amherst College.
So sorry this comment is a book, I'm just really passionate about the one theme park I've gotten to go to more than once cuz its close by, and am longing so much to head back.
Maybe you could add a rating system to park reviews. 1 to 10 scale
I prefer not to rate parks because your experience is going to vary every visit. You could have a horrible day, or an amazing day. That's too big of a fluctuation to give an accurate rating.
Coaster Studios Good point!
Coaster Studios Yeah but you give coasters a score and their experiences differ.
Estop Yeah, but coasters are one thing, a park can differ based on your visit. A park is an entire network.
Medmac Wrong. Coasters can change just as much on one ride than another. For example X2, Taylor at first hated it but now it's in his top 25. It would be a score based on his visit
you have eaten at more than just the BBQ, it’s the same lame typical six flags food after that
i love the m&m stairs hskshs
My home park. It’s not the greatest but damn am I glad it’s here.
The Canada’s wonderland of sixflags parks
The Flip what do you mean by that?
It's not, Canada's Wonderland is famous for their Giga and their many great flat rides. SFNE is famous for Superman:TR and Wicked Cyclone. We have a pretty meh flat ride lineup, like yeah, we may have one of the tallest star flyers in the world, the other flat rides are just okay, standered Six Flags rides.
Finally
Minecraft gangster
As my home park and the only park with an RMC that's near me (Canobie Lake and SFGA in NJ doesn't have one) I really, really appreciate this park. I appreciate that you liked this park and hope you come again soon, I would like to meet you one day.

Six Flags- “iT’S a roLleRcOastEr
IT'S NOT A COASTER
My home park ❤️
The style of the entrance for Six Flags New England is very fitting for the area with the colonial architecture.
I love how honest your reviews are
This is my home park. Absolutely love it! 😁
I used to go here when it was Riverside Park. What Six Flags did was outstanding as to what was there before. So kudos to six flags For saving this park
Six flags new england is pretty awesome. Then again I would like to see an operations video for this park.
Agreed
“Uh, were in college”😂
I will admit, with this being my home amusement park, I will admit I love coming here, and I am happy that every year they get a new ride which makes it more attempting to want and come back every year, I will admit this is one of those amusements parks that are enjoyable to have as your home amusement park and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a park that always gets a new experience every year
Tyler Games I can tell you like to say “I will admit”. :-)
4:57 The only good restaurant at SFNE. (Trust me, I'm a season pass holder.)
Baksidesteez yeah it’s amazing
Uhhhhh I uh h a t e I t
i grew up with this park and yes it gets boring if you go A LOT but if you go a couple times a year it’s pretty fun and you don’t get tired of it
Comprehensive and on-point review Taylor! SFNE was my first proper Six Flags Park (La Ronde doesn't count!) and I pretty much shre your views. Awesome Top 2, decent Batman floorless but the rest is meh at best. It has some charming bits despite the noted advertisement. Definitely worth visiting, but a top notch launch coaster would really boost the ride line-up of this park!
Coaster Hipster Laronde counts
I live like 10 minutes away from here and I have get a season pass every year. NEVER go here on weekends as it is always packed. The water park is actually very nice, has some good slides and is clean. One thing that’s super weird about this park is that there are lots of people who come here who come from far away and aren’t locals. People come here from all over especially from eastern mass and New York. Try to avoid going to this park when it’s super hot as well because the entire thing is asphalt and it gets VERY hot. I don’t know why they didn’t let you re ride because I’ve done it on multiple occasions and they were okay with it. It also helps to know some of the ride ops lol.
Getting caught by school groups/summer camps is absolutely the worst thing for many parks, and here for sure (from personal experience). Great review, you pretty much reflect my way of thinking for the park :)
SFNE is that one Six Flags park that I usually forget about. It's got some cool rides, but definitely feels like one of their dumping ground parks. You know the ones.
well, yeah, we are the boomerang graveyard, but we still got good original coasters like Wicked Cyclone and Superman.
The back of the park is at lower elevation due to the old race track. The stairways were once "stadium rows"
And Sky Screamer is a highlight too! It’s known for that too of course!!!!
Maria Zambon I don't recall ever seeing that. They still have Scream right?
Riff Raff Yes!
I came here when I was 11. I wasn’t tall enough for Superman, Batman and Mind Eraser and I was too scared to go on Joker 😂. I LOVED wicked cyclone. I really want to go back to that park so I can finally ride Superman but I live so far away that I don’t see that happening anytime soon. I’ve never been to Six flags Magic Mountain (that’s my home six flags) but I hope I’ll go there soon.
In the northeast, we have summer camps for 3 days at a place and one day to an amusement/water park. It’s how parents get their kids outside in New England.
My hometown Six Flags. Love it.
This is my home park
I love u coaster studios
The other thing is that this is one park where the name "Six Flags" really makes sense, because near the entrance they fly the state flags of each of the SIX New England states (or at least they used to - I haven't been for a few years). Also, Superman will always be my favorite ride, but then again I rode it in its glory days not long after it was built, when they still had the simple seat belt/T-bar restraint system and the airtime on the ride was just INSANE. Broke my heart when they changed that, but I think they felt they had to do something after that 2004 tragic accident that never should have happened, plus, thanks in part to Rep. Ed Markey, (D-Mass.), T-bar type restraints were banned in Massachusetts after that incident. Also, in its original incarnation, Superman: Ride of Steel had seat belts aoprox. 11 inches longer in the front seats of each car as opposed to the two elevated back seats, which had shorter belts. To this day, the seat belt/T-bar restraints continue to be used safely on Millennium Force. Thanks for the review of the park!
They have six American flags near the entrance now.
I never rode Superman before the restraints were changed, but I personally find them a hell of a lot better than the restraints on Wicked Cyclone which fit so loosely they dig into my thighs every time the ride goes upside down
he should have went at night it is amazing at night everything is lit up, (edit) what is a highlighted comment?
I’ve been to Six Flags New England on June, July and September. so now I’m going back before 2019 ends
“NO OFFENSE but you guys kinda suck”.
lol 😂
It's the E you know what else is FUNNY?? No one asked what everyone calls you 🤣 isn’t that FUN???
No offense taken. Because that sounds like me XD
When everyone mentions that something is like a six flags park, which six flags park fits that stereotype most (Which park is the stereotypical six flags park)?
Harrison Schneider magic mountain
Harrison Schneider St Louis is one that comes to mind. It's so plain and basic and there isn't really anything outstanding about it. It's just kinda there.
The one Six Flags park that you have visited but not reviewed
Wich Six Flags Park has the most advertising?
I’ve had the similar experience of the GP crowding everything at Six Flags Great America.
RIP shipwreck falls. We will always remember the disgusting littered swamp water that we never cared about while riding the ride.
Riddler's Revenge is so good, definitely the best SLC along with Thunderhawk and Great Nor'Easter.
The new restraints have definitely made the ride a lot better
@@ThuhOthers Do they still use or have the "no rerides without walking around" policy thing going?
@@oneandonlysound3453 It's been inconsistent. I have had good luck swapping seats or staying in the same seat on Wicked Cyclone, however (if nobody's waiting for the seat obv)
This is my home park, and it’s a good home park. It’s obviously not cedar point level, but it’s not la ronde level either. It’s also good with great adventure a few hours away and lake compounce and quassy near
Vekoma Boomerang, Always a Boomerang its too Overused
Used to go there every weekend in the summer! Instead of the stairs us kids would race up the ramp
update from a year later- was there last week while it was mostly empty and stayed in our seats to reride Superman, Batman, Wicked Cyclone with no issue. didn’t know that was park policy until just now...
Agawam native here. The park was originally known as a Riverside Park before SF took it over. Badly missed from that park is the NASCAR track and its car races....removed when Six Flags came in. Held over though is the 1941 Thunderbolt roller coaster. Not huge but a lot of fun and a historic landmark. The Wicked Cyclone was recycled from the old Riverside Cyclone....well loved back in the day but the new replacement is superior. The bad drawback this park has is that it gets very crowded and the lines can be very long. That and there tends to be riff-raff at times... misbehaving kids like you saw. The overdoing of the D.C. superheroes theming is rediculous as well. The food is excellent though, and the Halloween and Christmas festivals are fantastic. And if you come mid to late September, you can go just down the street to the Big E Eastern States Exposition Fair.
I love this park we go 6 to 7 times a season its 2.5 hrs from where i live season passes are worth it so cheap 👍🍻🥇🏆👍❤️🇺🇸❤️
I've been here maybe 5 or 6 times and I've never been back to the Houdini part and always forget it's even there.
agreed and its always closed when i got there and i think its becoming as seasonal ride for fright fest?
My dad grew up in agawam. It is pronounced a-ga-wahm
His pronounceation bugged me the whole video, couldn't stand it!
yeah but Massachusetts towns are not the easiest to say and we have to give a break to people once in a while.
I love six flags new England and im glad u recommend it
I'm going to Six Flags with a school group in two weeks, I think the park won't be busy because we're going on a Tuesday and my school is getting out earlier than most schools in the state, so other school groups shouldn't be a problem. The only problem will be tourists from the South or out of country were they already ended school.
This is LITERALLY the only sixflags park I've ever been to even though we have season passes, because we live too far away to go to any of the other parks lol.
I live in CT. About 30 to 45 min from this park so this is my Sux flags and they let you re-ride the rides. You can stay on if the ride isn't busy. Otherwise you just get back in line.
Great park! Wicked cyclone & Superman are a fantastic 1 2 combo!!!! Food over the course of my 3 day visit wasn't good though :/
I go every year for band. We make sure to act like proper people and if we don’t we have to miss out on the ride
I’m having flashbacks from my trip there
Yes those summer camps in New England stay at a place then go on a field trip a week. They are annoying and cut lines
When it’s not raining both boomerangs get filled
Used to live right next to the park. In a apartment complex. We got free season passes because every Halloween fright fest would be right in out backyards.
Hey I happen to be a park historian for this park. I work with the entertainment department and know a lot of why the park looks and is themed the way it is. If you ever happen to be in the area again I can definitely answer almost any question you have. Also if you are ever in this park and want to know anything you can ask someone on a traveling show called NEAT.
While that is true there is a reason behind many of the theming. Not just because it was river side.
Umm what, the m&m starts are iconic idk what u talkin about they are beautiful.
I recently went here for the first time since high school and I thought it was pretty okay. I didn’t have a good experience with food and Superman was on one train operation so they were giving out boarding passes. The app was also claiming a 60 minute wait time but I had barely made it 1/4 of the way through after 40 minutes so I dipped which was disappointing. Wicked Cyclone was really good but after visiting other parks like Magic Mountain, Cedar Point, and even Kings Dominion within the past year I was very underwhelmed.
depending on the ride they will let you re ride. DC has about 5/6 rides. and we do have lots of stairs due to space issues. there is pretty much only 4/5 main areas. also a good place to eat is jonny rockets down by superman
Post quaratine shutdown, the park now states that rerides are allowed if you switch to an empty row.
bruh I just went here and I didnt even know the tomahawk ride existed because of how hidden it was lmao
This is my home park and now it’s opening back up 😁😁😁😁
ever had that seeing of when you see an amusement park with the rollor coasters and you say “Wow those are small” Then when you reach one of them your like “OML THATS BIG
During the Halloween time the park goes even deeper. There is a picnic area in the woods. You follow this very nice path over a bridge into the woods. You can rent the area for parties and get togethers. During Halloween that's where they have fright fest. Deep in the middle of the woods.
The walk around ride part I can relate to cuz I go to this six flags all the time.And they always say go around when we’re the last people!?
Yea the rope drop thing is so true, also the long walk. My family forgot the drink cups and we all made my dad walk back to the car
It was good seeing you there, hope you get a chance to come back again.
This being my home park I will say that you just got unlucky with the day you went because if you go end of school year every single school goes there on field trips so I would recommend going like beginning if may
I understand what you mean with the cloning. I think much of the GP only see their local parks and never know. A certain mouse also likes to clone a lot of things :). Great video as always keep up the good work.
I go here all the time and I have a fun time!
The food there is pretty good. That BBQ place you mentioned is very good! And one thing you can get all over the park is the chicken tenders. They are very good
Not a big deal, but this is my home park and I'm pretty sure the first a in Agawam is not pronounced like an o. Also, it sucks that they have 3 Vekomas and they're the three worst types of Vekomas
The park and ride layouts may be slightly strange because in the late 90s this park was not six flags new england but actually Riverside Amusement park and then six flags bought them out and started renovating the park slowly. Alot of the older rides in the park were orignally brought in when the park was still Riverside. Flashback, Mind Eraser, Tomahawk, Thunderbolt, wicked cyclone used to be just Cyclone the biggest wooden coaster in the park, then they frankensteined it.
Actually it was bought by premier parks in 1996 then changed to six flags when premier parks bought out six flags.
I would understand if that had 2 boomerangs for them to duel but if they just have 2 of them just to have them...🧐🤔
i recommend going again this year. they have changed the layout a little bit, and added two new rides.
That guy in the back row of Wicked Cyclone at 3:18
This Six Flags is one of the ones that are close to me I do want to point out in certain parts of the park they do have elevators for certain rides for people with disabilities like myself and this is a really great Park and the one in New Jersey is also a great one as well and I just subscribed to your Channel you put great Continental all the time keep up the good work
I love the M&M stairs, it makes me laugh every time I enter the park
