Riddler Revenge • Six Flags New England

Harness Intensity

Smooth and comfy with the intense experiance that SLC's offer.

Pace Rattle Disappointing!

Knowing the reputation of SLCs, I went into Riddler Revenge with relatively low expectations. I heard it was one of the better ones due to the restraints, and while they definitely helped relieve the headbanging, it still rode insanely rough. I was shocked about how shaky the trackwork was. The ride has solid pacing and some fantastic near misses, but you can't concentrate on the layout much when you are being shaken around so viciously. I cannot begin to imagine riding this with the unupdated restraints. PMF.

Intensity Rattle Inversions Discomfort

The restraints are honestly really good, but the trackwork is so awful that I can't even imagine how bad the SLCs are that have the regular restraints.

Intensity Layout Rattle Harness Discomfort

They changed the harness since it's rebranded from mind eraser and its weird but less headbanging which is nice..., but it's still so rough that I don't want to ride it more than one time, I'm surprised this one is still here, don't know how many more times I can ride this one, this manufacturer just isn't good, bring on a B&M inverted to replace it

Discomfort

Even with the new trains, I am not a fan. It wasn't as bad as SLCs I have done in the past but still not worth riding again. It shuffles a lot and just isn't fun to ride because of this.

If a torture method was a ride, this would be it.

Inversions Fun Rattle Dead spots Layout

It has some fun elements and inversions but the SLC layout is just really bland and boring to me and the ride is still a bit rough and uncomfortable despite the new restraints.

Harness Intensity Hangtime

Honestly this ride is elite it’s really intense just really good overall

Inversions Rattle Discomfort

This is the best of the Vekoma SLCs I’ve ridden. It’s somewhat enjoyable and the inversions were pretty fun but it still suffers from being pretty rough and a little painful

Discomfort

Credit #90 Jesus Christ, I thought I would never find an actual bad SLC, but I did! This coaster demolishes any feeling you have in your thighs, and just flings your upper torso around like a scene from Saw where you lose feeling from the waist down by being dunked in a bath of acidic ice (I made that up). Yeah, I definitely prefer the older restraints after riding SFA's Mind Eraser- at least that one isn't unbearable. Also, I HATE the name, it bugs me so much! Word of advice, New England- get a thesaurus.

Inversions Headbanging Disappointing! Discomfort

If you’re not going to sit in the very front row, don’t bother with this ride.

Six flags needs to learn their lesson, as does Vekoma. This ride has been cloned over and over again and yet retains terrible reputation at every one. Six flags thought they would try to rebrand it by painting it Yellow and Green and changing the name from Mind Eraser to Riddler Revenge. Don’t be fooled. Change to the harness was decent, but this is still a rugged and very rough ride overall

Comfort Masterpiece Intensity Rattle

How did such a god awful ride turn into one of my favorites? I think I like this more than montu! this is so intense with the rattle and the jerkiness making it feel so out of control, just pure fun. Only bad thing is it isn't crazy whippy and the brake run is horrid and slams you forward.

First Drop Inversions Intensity Discomfort

Giving 3 stars because it had a major improvement on the restraints since it was Mind Eraser, now there’s far less head banging making it ridable, it’s really efficient so the line is usually short and it rarely breaks down. The new color scheme is nice and stands out compared to some of the duller rides, and considering the other rides in the park it’s actually pretty good with 5 inversions including a double corkscrew which is unique from any of the other rides here. Of course there’s a lot of other SLCs and this is probably not near the best one out there, but for what the park has it’s a decent ride with a good amount of inversions so if there’s a short line its worth riding

First Drop Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

I have nothing really much to say except i'm upset with Vekoma and with SixFlags. This ride looks extremely fun on the outside but as soon as you ride it you will not want to go on it again. I think everyone should ride it once for the experience but overall its a very painful roller coaster. I feel like they could have built a way better coaster here or even a different ride. I wish they would replace it with a ride like battle for metropolis over at Sixflags Great Adventure. I honestly think they should have kept the name Mind Eraser because it definitely lived up to that name.

Mind Eraser, now called Riddler’s Revenge, is a super rough ride. It starts out okay, but once it hits that first inversion, you are getting thrown around like a rag-doll. You can visibly see the riders being jerked to the side on the sidewinder (3rd inversion), and the in-line twists are downright awful. At the end, the train waits a long time in the brakes while the harness digs into your legs, making them cold and slightly numb. That being said, it was intense, and it was so rough, it was actually exciting. Despite the harness digging into my legs, it did have a vest, so there was no headbanging.

Not one of the better SLCs out there.
