Six Flags America or New England?
Go to six flags america if u want to experice the best flyer and some good wood and a very good hyper, or go to SFNE for a floorless and the so called best hyper in the world.
Just decide what you want to do, coasters or park experience. i would go with SFA though.

I would say SFNE. Neither park has anything that's completely different from anything at GAdv., although Roar and Batwing (I think) are significantly better than their counterparts. Wild One is also quite good. I think both S:RoS's are better than Nitro, but with the misters on at night, S:RoS SFNE beats the tar out or S:RoS SFA so much so that I would trade Roar, Batwing, Wild One, and S:RoS SFA for S:RoS SFNE. It's the best coaster in the world for a reason.

However, if you're going to take a longer, multiple trip, You could go to SFA, PKD, BGW, Hershey, and even more since there are more, larger parks to the south of you.
I will say, that despite SROS being the best coaster I've ridden, SFNE is the worst park I've ever been to. Lower your expectations to below that of a local fair, and you'll be presently surprised.

Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England- The #1 Coaster on the Planet for Years in a Row!!!
Anyways, I'll offer a differing opinion - driving all the way up to New England to ride Superman is probably a good idea, but you will be going right by Lake Compounce. If for some reason you really don't want to do SFNE and Lake Compounce on this trip (and really, I can't think of a reason why) then head to SFA and save the trip to New England when you can do both parks (and maybe even Quassy.)
Personally, I would be more inclined to go to Compounce and skip SFNE if I had to go to only one.

SROS: is by far the 2nd best hyper in the world.
I'm just curious. What hyper do you think is better than S:RoS? The only coaster I can think of is MF but that's not a hyper.

SFNE is an amazing park in a fairly compact package. If you're going strictly for coasters, it's very easy to reach them all as most of them fall into a ring that goes from the entrance around to DC Super Hero land, up towards Hurricane Harbor, and then back through Rockville. In all of these areas are also some excellent flats, and someone has already correctly mentioned that Scream is one of the finest towers out there. If you're into the full experience, water park included, you'll probably need at least a whole day to do that.
Then there's Lake Compounce. The park is significantly smaller, built around the Wildcat woodie right in the middle, but packs a surprising punch if you have an open mind. They have a nice waterpark along the lake right to the left, several good flats like Ghost Hunt, and two excellent coasters, the Wildcat and the Zoomerang (your standard Vekoma boomerang, but hey, I like 'em). I say two "excellent" coasters because the other one, Boulder Dash, simply defies adjectives. I rode it four times while I was there and consider it not only the best woodie I've ridden (surpassing the Cyclone in my mind) but also one of the fastest, wildest, and most downright scary rides I've ever experienced. It may sound ridiculous if you've never been on it, but you could very easily make an entire day out of reriding Boulder Dash -- and if my friend and I had had more time, we would've just kept lapping it. Believe the hype. It's that good.
So depending on what your taste is, you probably could do both parks in one day, though I'd probably suggest making a weekend out of it. SFNE is about two and a half hours from my house, and Lake Compounce is about two hours. If it's feasible, drive to SFNE on Saturday, find a place to stay overnight, and do Compounce on Sunday. You definitely won't regret it.

Well I can't do both SFNE and SFA becasue it would be one of our dads that would take us, so they might not have time. But we could probably do the Lake Compounce and SFNE same trip idea. Also, Chrashmando, I live in Union County, about an hour-hour and a half from Great Adventure.

Well when SFWOA builds their Hyper it will be #1...just kidding.I for got MF was called a "Giga" coaster. You know what i meant!
If you like flyers, go to SFA. (I guess that's kind of obvious)
If you like wood, go to SFA, because of the air on Wild One and the tight turns on Roar.
And if you love Vekoma coasters, SFA has 3 when SFNE only has 2!
I haven't been to SFNE so I can't really tell ya, but SFA has some spectacular rides, you will not be wronged going there at all.

If I was part of a coaster, I would be an upstop pad on an Arrow Mine Train.
