Coaster reviews

Theming Nice surprise! Location

I love riding Thirteen. It's just a great fun coaster, it's obviously not very extreme, but at Towers it doesn't need to be. Love the theme, nice and dark, good soundtrack too. The first half is fun, though how much better it would be without the huge trim on the drop is another matter. I understand why it's there though. Its nice and smooth, and some fun pops of airtime too. Then the undoubted highlight, the fantastic drop track which is very well done, and very snappy, aided by some nice special effects. The launch backwards into the underground helix is a great finale, before you shoot forward back into the station. Family coaster, yes undoubtedly, but great fun every time

Airtimes First Drop Layout

Well did SixFlags get lucky and did RMC out do themselves. This roller coaster is nothing but a master piece. The airtime you get is insane and the almost vertical drop give's you a great feeling as well. The inversions are also great especially the slow corkscrew at the end. I'm blessed to ride this ride at least 2 times every visit. It feels almost as if your getting chased by a storm. There are also head cutter moment which really get your blood pumping. This is 100% a must do when you visit the great SixFlags New England.

Lap Bar Inversions Pace

Wow, what a great coaster: the seats combined with comfy lap bars provide great freedom while riding, the layout is surprisingly intense with nice G-forces and the three inversions are all great fun, especially the zero-G-roll over "Volldampf's" station is amazing. Additionally, there is some great airtime on several spots of the layout which is not often found on inverts, and pacing is also great from start to finish! I don't know why some people complain about this coaster for being rough, the vibrations I felt were just slightly! Optically, this coaster is beautiful, especially the overbanked turn over the entrance looks absolutely gorgeous and the interaction with Volldampf is also a really cool feature. Those two coasters as a whole is an outstanding addition to the portfolio of Tripsdrills attractions - my home park and Vekoma did a fantastic job here!

Theming Inversions Launch Airtimes Dead spots

This coaster fits very well with the landscape of Tripsdrill and the ride is also great fun: Starting with a funny surprise in the dark, the following launch is quite forceful. The top hat provides a little airtime at the top, the inversions combined with comfy lap bars provide excellent hangtime and the intense finale with a dive loop into the dark hole is the best part of the ride. After the middle brake run, it might get a little slow and the hill doesn't provide much airtime, but warmed up in the evening (and especially during night openings!), this part is better and faster than in the morning! All in all, this great coaster is definetely worth riding!

Airtimes Fun Too short

Fun little coaster that will please the kids. Most intense and best ride in the kiddie land.

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.

Airtimes First Drop Fun

Nothing really bad about this coaster. On the smoother side for Wooden roller coaster's which is a surprise for this one due to how old it is. There is also airtime here and there which gives this ride a little intensity. Over its a great roller coaster to ride with your family and a great classic.

First Drop Ejectors Duration Lap Bar

Nothing but an amazing ride. The first drop is amazing you get such a great view of everything. Not to mention they even play the Superman theme song as you go up the chain lift. There is also a great tunnel right after the first drop which half of the time contains mist. Then as soon as you get out of that tunnel its all airtime and swerving from there on out. It really feels like your on a high speed chase. There are lots of effects which make it even better than it already is. Now the only little problem is the lap bars they can get uncomfortable after 3 or so airtime hills but the greatness of the ride pays off for that. Superman is a must do and the best ride at SixFlags New England!

Masterpiece

It's the best in the world by a mile. It's a classic and the views are amazing. The first drop is legendary

Nice surprise! Harness Intensity Rattle

Fire Whip is one of the best SLC´s in the world, it has an eyecatching paint job and the new trains with vest restraints. The ride has some really good positive g´s and it´s pretty intense. The ride still has some really bad transitions though ( that´s what I meant with rattle) but the vest restraints eliminate any possibility of headbanging.
