Stemin Demon is half white!

Thunderbolt was the ride called Flying Bobs at many parks that you freely swing around a track.

Cedar Point gets "twisted for 2002"
Great Escape gets "screwed for 2002"

Damn... you mean that's gone too??! Wait... isn't Musik Express the same thing? Where was Thunderbolt located and what year was it removed? I know Musik Express is like right across from the Skycoaster or something.

Are you talking about Collossal Ferris Wheel? That's the only Collossus at Six Flags New England. The only attraction at SFNE that is taller than S:ROS is Scream which is a 200 foot drop tower that is on higher ground than S:ROS and has the frame work at the top which makes it even taller. The highest ride in the park is Skky Coaster which rest at the top of a hill in the highest section of the park. A lot of people don't ride Skycoaster decause they don't want to make the climb back there.

What problems do you speak of? If the computer thinks there is a violation, it will shut the ride down. It's standard operating procedure.

what problems? lol lets see...ride released early atleast on 4 different occasions when i was there. got stuck while climbing the second hill. coming back into the station the train stopped halfway up the first lift while part of the train came back into the station (this happened numerous times!)

HA! SFNE is hardly a large park. It can't take much more than 20 min to walk from one end to the other. Also, the skycoaster is right near the exit to the Cyclone. If you are trying to decide if you want to ride it the distance won't make the difference. The difference would be the fact that you have to pay for it (my excuse) or you're just plain scared. I can't believe anyone would be so lazy as to decide not to ride something like that cause its an extra 5 min walk away.

That's what they say. Skycoaster isn't near Cyclone's exit, but Cyclone's entrance. Even from there, Skycoaster is still further up the hill. Plus, Skycoaster is old and is shadowed by practically every thing else in the park. Plus nobody is goingto pay for that when you have S:ROS and Scream, even if they are nothing like Skycoaster. Plus, I only pay to ride the extreme upcharge attractions in Orlando and Las Vegas, the only place where they are worth the amount you pay.

I don't understand what you mean when you say "coming back into the station the train stopped halfway up the first lift while part of the train came back into the station." That doesn't make any sense to me. The train can't just stop on Lift #1 if it's not attached to the catch wagon, and it's not attached to the catch wagon while coming back to the station. How can only half the train return the station?

Anyway, my point is that there is nothing wrong with The Boomerang. Occasionally stopping on Lift 2 is a standard safety procedure.

What i mean is when the train was returning after coming back, as it went up the 1st lift hill again in reverse and the first 3 coaster cars were in the station it stopped dead on the track, as if the brakes had locked up the first couple of cars in the station. This happened a few times, and the ride was closed numerous times throughout the season. Ill have to look through my pictures from last year, im pretty sure i have a picture of the cars stuck in this position.
