nbadude44 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) My mother and I entered the park around 10:30 and went straight to Wicked Cyclone. I immediately fell in love with all the theming elements they put in, everything from the plane in the queue to the station filled with newspapers were just perfect. The ride itself was very fun in my opinion (9 out of 10), so much so that I decided to go on a second time, both of which were 5 minutes or less of waiting with two trains running. After that, we immediately hit up the NE SkyScreamer and Pandemonium, each with less than 20 minute waits. Unfortunately, Goliath is still closed due to ongoing technical difficulties, which meant a short ride on the Scrambler for us instead. After some lunch outside of the park, we went straight to Batman: The Dark Knight, which I wasn't able to go on during my previous visit along with Mind Eraser which was next up. Dark Knight was fun, but felt like it was over so quickly, so it gets an 8 out of 10 in my book. Next up was Bizarro, and I'm still jealous that you guys got to keep your sound system while the Bizarro in Great Adventure got rid of theirs. After three consecutive rides and one ride on Gauntlet, we decided to just walk around the park for the heck of it and eventually ended up walking onto Kontiki, which was a pleasant surprise, Joker's Wildcard, then I rode Tomahawk by myself. We also briefly caught a glimpse of a magic show that was going on around 2:00 that was cute and very child-oriented. My mother decided to sit the rest of the day out, so I ended up finishing the day with Thunderbolt, Flashback, and another ride on Bizarro. All in all, it was a very satisfying day with perfect weather to boot. Final Rating: 5 out of 6 Flags. Ridelist: Bizarro 4x Wicked Cyclone 2x Batman The Dark Knight 1x Mind Eraser 1x Thunderbolt 1x Pandemonium 1x Flashback 1x Gotham City Gauntlet 1x NE SkyScreamer 1x Joker's Wildcard 1x Kontiki 1x Tomahawk 1x Scrambler 1x I'll post my pictures momentarily...

truepolak90 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Nice trip report, thank you for sharing! New England looks like an awesome park that is definitely on my to do list. Glad to hear you had an awesome time. I heard Goliath blew one of the hydraulic motors and its going to be down for a while until they receive the part for the ride.

nbadude44 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sorry about the whole "Colossus/Cyclone" mixup. I just fixed it now. Thanks for responding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 ^ Was that advertised as a different magic show? That's not the usual guy, and I thought he did all of the performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah, that guy and trick are both different from when I saw it in July. There was a special guest when I saw it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 ^Who, that woman who swings around on the fabric? I got the sense her inclusion in the show wasn't so "special." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 ^Yeah, I assumed she had to be there for at least a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
