Six Flags New England 2002 coaster plans posted

Curving drop, vertical loop, dive loop, a strong-G turn (a la Batman at SFWoA), what I wish was enough room for a zero-G roll (wouldn't get my hopes up), brake run, the interlocking corkscrews. Sure looks like a floorless to me, but I suppose it could be a standard looper as well.

Well thats just the more reason to plan my trip to SFNE next year. Plus do you think that the strong-g-turn would go over the station house?

so with a height of 117ft.. it can only be a Inverted or Stand up... Heavily themed? whoa if a Standup is themed that be odd lolz.

The strong G-turn is nowhere near the station, it goes through the loop. This is not an Inverted as the first drawing clearly shows a upright lift hill.

It looks more like a Stand-Up to me as there is no Zero-G Roll (if there was, it wouldn't appear as a straight line on the map, more like a slight s-curve to take the heartline into account) as B&M doesn't build them on SUs & all the elements can be found on Riddler's Revenge.

Plus this coaster is rather short at 117ft & there are several SUs shorter than this. Could this be the SFA SU that was cancelled?

I'd say it is a stand-up because it got the elements of one and it's too small to be a floorless and can an inverted even do a diving loop?

My bet is a floorless. Or maybe a sit-down looper like Wildfire. I highly doubt it's a stand-up. Either way, they'll probably call it Batman. :)

So many coasters - so little time.

i think its gonna be a standup..cant wait till the 2002 season to check it out...hopefully this new coaster will help shorten the SROS line to

There is no brake run on this one. This is a two-train operation. If you look at the transfer track, you will see only 2 tracks, not 3. Therefore, there would be no need for a brake run. Im guessing that straight section is a bunny hop since a zero-g roll would show up differently on the plans.

I doubt that it's the SFA stand-up.the hieght isn't the same,remmember the proposed hieght for SFA's stand-up was 140 ft. tall not 117 ft. tall.plus you rarely find a zero-g roll on a stand-up. *** This post was edited by BATWING FAN SFA on 8/5/2001. ***

it would be funny if Six FLags Snuck in The New B&M Flying coaster right under our nose and hid it as a standup design.

This coaster cannot be a Stand-Up. It either has to be a floorless or a sit-down. The drawing plans reveal interlocking corkscrews. B&M don't have those on their Stand-ups. It might have a zero G roll also. I don't remember B&M having those elements on their Stand-ups. I'm guessing it will be a small floorless.

CP in 2002, get to the point

This coaster might be a sit-down, like Hulk. But I don't think it will. I think that this coaster, which I think is a stand-up, is from SFA when they cancelled "their" plans for a stand-up. The height of the coaster is only 117 feet, and I think that the height of this coaster will be a stand-up.

Just because it is 117ft tall does not mean that this can't be a floorless/sitdown if B&M builds what a park wants, if SFNE wanted a small sitdown floorless they would build it.

My thoughts on the straight piece of track.
I do not think it is a brake run. It does not need it.
Some Camelbacks as B&M calls them do not have a change in track diretion they would appear as a straight piece of track from a topo
Not many B&M coasters have straight sections of track other than hypers and no Standup has interlocking corkscrews, I think Sitdown/Florless with a Camelback like Superman Krypton Coaster wich is a straight piece of track that twist. or this is a standup with a hump for airtime and the first one with interlocking corkscrews or those are not corkscrews and only one and the other is just a series of turns.

I'd be shocked if this thing is a standup,with interlocking corkscrews that'd be a trip.:)
The park did claim that the coaster won't bring in meny new peeps so my best guess would be a floorless.

Not a sitdown as Wildfire
10% it's a stand-up cause of the diving loop, but Kumba has one also
65% it's a floorless, like Knight Flight,
cause of the similar design
25% an Inverted cause the lenght of the drop, and the maybe zero g roll.

Does anyone know if the whole queue is enclosed or just the begining section? It looks like the switchback section might be outside but im not sure.
