Best Roller Coaster Springfield Near Me

Madison Arsenault: i have a headache and my friend lost rheir hat lol

Donna Brennan (HQ): i would say that Pandemonium is definitely the best starter coaster

Nina Lantini: When I first saw Pandemonium I felt nervous as most people might, yet when I got in I felt thrill and excitement. The ride Pandemonium takes up and down while spinning the cart. The cart has four seats ( if you don’t enjoy going up backwards I recommend taking the right side of the cart). This ride is not extremely big( medium sized ) but it still tends to excite me and other people. So if you are looking for another fun ride, I recommend Pandemonium!

lyah dimoglo: Very long lines, I think there should be a limit of people going in, we spent 2 hrs in the park and only got to ride 1 ride! RUDICULOUS!

Mx. E: Long line on busy days but is worth 30mins wait

Lucas Richards: It is a ok ride that is pretty smooth. Sometimes you spin out of control.

Ace Mace: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Ashlee Alvarado: love the ride and is one of my faves ever. the wait is always excruciatingly long despite all the carts that are available. love the thrill it gives!

Petra Holden: Fun roller coaster with lots of surprise twists. Great for small kids!

Billie Hamblin: Fun until someone pukes and they have to shut it down lol

Julie A. Landry: This would be a much better ride if not for two things: 1) There is always an insanely long wait... always. I don't know why. 2) It's just the nature of this type of ride that you never know whether your trip will be a wild one or a tame one. Depends on which car you get, how much you weigh, how many people in the car with you, where are you all seated... it's not as straightforward as you would think.

Livia C: Amazing for everyone

Evalani Rogers: This ride is so much fun but if you get motion sickness from rides that spin a lot this ride may not be for you but it’s very fun!!

Alianys lopez: I loved it.

Shrek !: Pandemonium is a great example of a spinning coaster! It is a tame but very fun ride. Sure it is not going to blow you away, but you will get off saying it is fun. Very underrated coaster!

sleepy maurey: Dont recommend it for children under 8 many get scared because of the way it goes up and spins really fast

Kate Keesler: It was so fun

Stina Price: it is cool🤩🤩

Auliyah Waugh: AT THE BEST THEME PARK ALIVE ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

B Nguyen: Good ride just not worth the long wait that always appears.

Phonic Strix: The line was pretty short for this ride and it's not very scary so it's a good first roller coaster. It's also really old which is really neat to see!

Anna: I am so glad that Six Flags New England keeps the Thunderbolt around. I used to love riding it when I was young along with the original Cyclone. I miss the Cyclone because it was my favorite rollercoaster anywhere but the Thunderbolt feeds that nostalgia and gives people the opportunity to ride an old school coaster in a comfortable way.

George Norton: One of the oldest wooden rollercoasters still in operation. Its a kinda rough ride, but that's part of the draw. Gotta ride it at least once.

Pixely The gamer: Fun coaster, but I only ride it one,So maybe I could go on it Again in the future.

Noah B: Very fun and smooth. This ride opened in 1941

ariana dejesus: This ride is a lot of fun! My friends have never been on it & i told them it was awesome. They listened & wanted to ride again!

Shrek !: Very fun wooden roller coaster! Very smooth with a good amount of airtime. The long wait is always worth it. Classic Wooden roller coaster!

Jason DeGray: Long wait though it's so worth it. Also this is my favorite ride at sfne.

Duddy Schiff: Phenomenal

Julie A. Landry: This coaster is much more thrilling than it looks. The airtime is fabulous. However, the ride is very rough (lots of vibration) and you will probably have a looooong wait. I find that it also terrifies younger people who did not grow up with wooden coasters. They say it looks "rickety."Speaking of weight (see what I did there?), if you are carrying some extra, you may find it challenging to wedge yourself into the seat and fasten the lap belt. The average person was a lot slimmer in the 1940s. I probably won't be able to do it again.While you're waiting in the very long line, notice the tree in the middle. Is that a peach tree??

Benjamin Perea: I can appreciate the history behind this coaster but as an MD depending on loading and positioning you can have some major compressive G forces on your spine from this ride. To the point where I would be concerned about compressive spinal/disk injury in more susceptible people. Do not recommend.

Kazan the Peerless: Long wait time for a not very thrilling ride but it's 77 years old.

Jade Fit: It's not thrilling to me as it was before and waiting for an hour for that ride I think is a waste of time

B Nguyen: Not very thrilling but a classic ride for those seeking the less extreme

Ace Echo: Classic and old

Joe Abraham: You'd never guess that this coaster was built over 75 years ago. It's way smoother than pre-RMC Cyclone. Fun and historical coaster.

Gameboss49: The airtime on this coaster is gold and the roughness adds to the airtime this is my favorite roller coaster at six flags New England

Andrew Sears: I know this roller coaster was built in the 1940s but JESUS CHRIST it's so bad! I mean, all I could think of when on the ride is "When will this be over?!" I will never ride that again, and I recommend you DONT.

Selora TV: This ride was thrilling but also amazing for any age group I enjoyed this ride very much I highly recommend it to you

Shi: This is the oldest ride in Six flags and it isn't as great as Superman, Goliath, or Flashback. But this 1941 ride is an amazing ride for being built in the 1940' This is a truly marvelous ride. My favorite ride.

Jahmeed Squirell7epic: As a young enthusiast, I was glad to ride my first RMC at my home Six Flags Park. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. The stall has earned the title of my favorite element on any coaster I’ve ridden (look at my pfp) and I feel it was a huge step into the world of coasters for me. I will be riding Steel Vengeance this coming summer, so I’m hoping to experience the next level of RMC’s craft, but I will surely always remember my rides on Wicked Cyclone on Memorial Day Weekend.

Kevin Dwelley: Classic style roller coaster

Dwight Manning: I have been on every rollercoaster at Six Flags New England, New Jersey and Great Escape. Wicked Cyclone is the absolute best coaster ever. Even better than Superman and Nitro which I used to think were the best. The original Cyclone was run down but still pretty good. Holy moly Wicked Cyclone was just amazing. A bucket list coaster for sure.

Leblanc-Dussault Alexis: One of the most powerful RMCs

Kai Toz68: My current Number 1

Samuel Wenninger: Best coaster in the park. Superman has an edge in thrill, but in variety and technical goodness, this ride has Superman beat. Great ejector airtime, an awesome corkscrew at the start, super smooth ride, and lots of exciting forces make this a must ride and a jewel of the park. It's re-tracking since the original Cyclone totally changed the game and made this a gem. One of the best coasters I've ridden to date. The only thing missing is a single rider line to allow for single riders an opportunity for faster boarding.

Tommy: One of, if not the best coaster Six Flags has to offer. Really exciting ride with great inversions, and the line usually breezes by.

Sarah Mills: It's always awesome to ride Wicked Cyclone!

Cokepencil. psd (GiiForce): One of the smoothest coasters I've rode. Love the second zero g roll.

Matt McIrvin: This and Superman: The Ride are the two world-class, mind-boggling, bucket-list roller coasters at Six Flags New England, and I think Wicked Cyclone may actually be the better of the two (which is high, HIGH praise given what Superman is). Regardless, both are absolute must-rides for real thrill-seekers. Wicked Cyclone is not the biggest or fastest coaster at SFNE, but it is the most hyperkinetically intense.Rocky Mountain Construction has been making a name for itself with its conversions of deteriorating wooden coasters into wild steel-track hybrids. In this case, RMC transformed a ride that had acquired a reputation for bone-shaking roughness into a glass-smooth but relentlessly intense airtime machine. This coaster does not let up for an instant. From the first drop to the station brakes, it packs in a different disorienting surprise every couple of seconds, including three inversions. My favorite of these is the first inversion, the zero-G stall, a roll that reverses direction midway through. The other two are zero-G rolls embedded within the wooden support structure. Another high point of the ride is the double down, a twin pop of pure ejector airtime.For a ride this wild and compact, it actually gives a fairly long experience, because the track makes three laps around the ride's footprint. I have seen reviews complaining that the ride slows down too much on the third, lowest lap, but I did not find this at all--maybe it was running unusually well when I rode it. More recently I've seen some consensus that Wicked Cyclone was running generally better in the 2021 season, so maybe SFNE did something to help it maintain speed all the way through.You ride through all this in cars without over-the-shoulder restraints, held in only by a seat belt and a somewhat bulky lap bar. I did not have problems with these restraints, but some riders might. I did notice that I had to bend my knees far enough that before my recent knee-replacement surgery I might have had some trouble with it. Regardless, the absence of anything holding in your upper body gives a tremendous (and slightly unnerving) sense of freedom, with no danger of banging your head on anything as you whip through the inversions and overbanks.There is some clever storm-related theming around the queue, which also goes under and through the structure, giving you great views of what you're about to be subjected to.

allysa ginger: at first when i saw the ride i was kind of scared but my cousin dragged me on it and it was really fun i went on it again a few more times 10/10 would defiantly recommend

jluigi220: Gold standard for coaster experiences. Tons of ejector air time, floater airtime in the rolls, and quick pacing make for an intense and fun experience.

Saralyn Dolham: By FAR the best coaster at six flags new england. Hands down.

Richelle S: Amazing airtime and awesome inversions!!!

Breaking McDonald's Toys: It's so good I was scared but I wanted to do it again ride this as your first ride its worth the wait.

Sylv McGovern: It was a very fun ride every other time I went on it but a couple days ago when I went on this ride someone dropped their phone and it hit my dad in the Head causing him to have to get 10 stiches. So I am begging you, PLEASE don't bring your phone on the ride

Max C: The best ride at Six Flags New England, a back/near back row ride packs a serious punch and is worth any wait.

Planet Mike: My oh my this roller coaster is a gem. RMC killed it with this one. Right from the first drop the coaster is fast and tense and never lets up with crazy amounts of airtime and awesome inversions it is 0 to 100 all the way until the end. It's a must ride and should not be missed.

Brandon Moran: Great smooth ride but the carts themselves are broken. Sometimes you fit on the ride or sometimes the harness just doesn't "lock" and they say you "don't fit" (speaking for my friend)

Lucas Richards: This ride is unbelievable and my favorite at the park and my favorite I have ever ridden.

Zatoka: Perfect layout. Literally perfect for a hyper. Speaking of hypers, this is likely the best traditional hypercoaster in the world. Everything else is either non-traditional or a giga.INSANE airtime, some of the strongest I've ever experienced, and INTENSE MF HELIXES. Ride this.It breaks down often, however, so make sure you keep and eye on it.

Samantha Mastromatteo: It’s an awesome ride. And it was AMAZING when it came out and I first road in 2007 but by now the ending part is rocky and not as smooth. Feels less secure

threggy qway: AMAZING!!! broke both my legs and arms and am now permanently paralyzed and had so much fun with how much air time i got!!!

Leblanc-Dussault Alexis: Awesome, smooth and packed with airtime

Maddie Phillips: Passed out 3 times and vomited but it was all worth it.if you want any advice it’s called close your eyes and yell as many swears at the person that made do it.

Samuel Wenninger: Exciting steel hypercoaster with strong airtime, great views of the CT river and surrounding Six Flags park, and a dive into an underground tunnel. If you come, definitely ride the front but know that the back is a better ride as it benefits from whip over the camelbacks. My many rides have favored the back for this reason, but both are a must do at least once. This and Wicked Cyclone carry Six Flags New England up a tier and are worth the trip here by themselves. No single rider line, but the wait is worth it. Hands up!

Howard “RJ” Fields: Superman the Ride is definitely one of Six Flags New England’s best coasters in terms of thrill. The lines are usually manageable on the weekdays in the morning and late afternoon. With that said, there are two main issues I have with this ride. First, the current lap bars. They are not comfortable and constrict blood circulation. The first half of the coaster is bearable and worth it, however, by the final turn we were ready to get off. The other issue is the bag storage system. Superman and Batman are the only two rides which require you to use a locker to store bags. This isn’t too big of a deal, however, those lockers do cost money. Overall, I would imagine it would be a better experience if you could leave your bag on the other side of the platform, or at least if they would allow you to leave your bag outside the ride in a common location such as Cyclone.

Ethan Samuel: Best coaster in the park. This scariest part of the ride is going up. Slowly the suspense builds but as soon as the drop starts, all the fear disappears. I went more than 3 times in the same day on this roller coaster, once in the front. I loved it each time.

Daniel Steen: The best roller coaster I've ever expirenced.First the operators makes you feel very excited as you go ~221ft. Then the drop adds to the thrill as you go 77mph. And I deeply respect that there's no twirls and loops as we go highway speed. The ride lasts around 2-3 minutes before it stops. Not without screens, thrills, and a tunnel you go through.

Nirvash Casshern: As a guy who has issues with heights I gotta say this coaster is incredible because of how fast it gets to the top of it's first drop. My brain doesn't have enough time to get anxious and stressed so before I know it I'm in.The ride is fast, tall, smooth, long, just perfect.I have absolutely no regrets driving 30 hours to ride this.

Cokepencil. psd (GiiForce): One of my all time favourite coasters.

Matt McIrvin: Superman topped surveys of the world's greatest roller coasters for several straight years after it went into operation. These days, among hardcore coaster freaks, it's been a bit overshadowed by other types of ride (one of them, Wicked Cyclone, is just 700 feet away), but this hypercoaster is still an extraordinary experience that must not be missed.Simply visually, it dominates the park. The overbuilt appearance of the truss structure under the lift hill makes it look even more colossal than it is. Going up, you get gorgeous views of the river and the park and hear John Williams' stirring Superman theme playing on speakers mounted by the track. The first drop is a steep 220-foot plunge directly into an underground tunnel. There's another huge hill, then a tall overbanked turnaround into a lower returning section with powerful ejector airtime and a bit of simple cutout theming to create near-miss effects.In the second half of the ride, Superman continues on past the station into a twister section with big, powerful helixes (pouring on the positive Gs here) and a second underground tunnel. The last act is a series of airtime-filled bunny hills, cutting diagonally through the tangle of twister track to a short and surprisingly sudden brake run at the station. The ride delivers to the very end.Some fans complain about the bulky lap restraints, but I think that to some extent that's just because the ride used to have much more minimal ones that were changed to these after a tragic accident. I did not find them too cumbersome--they're not really that different from the ones on Wicked Cyclone. To my mind just about any big coaster that doesn't put you in over-the-shoulder restraints is a win.The one bad thing about it is that it's such a big draw that the queue to ride it can be brutal (and provides a whole different type of fear under pandemic conditions, but, you know, if you're going to Six Flags at all these days you should be prepared for this). This is the one ride where I'd consider buying FlashPass just to get on it, or at least put some thought into a strategy for minimizing time in the queue.

Phonic Strix: Super smooth ride! Gives you an awesome view of the park, doesn't slam your head against the walls of the seat, also this ride does not go upside down so dont let your ride partner use that as an excuse to chicken out on you!!! You'll definitely have a blast on this one!!!

Benjamin Pelts: Great ride, I just like the cyclone better.

James Davis: Awesome coaster 😎 right up there with Millennium Force!

Ryder Belanger: Everything was great…. Very unique restraints, I clicked it one to tight but I thought it would be fine, no. Every time I went up and down on the track, it would hurt my thighs, I ended up having bruises, but that was kinda my fault.

Ashley Linden: Great

Ms. Debbielee Rudy: A great roller coaster

Juliana De oliveira: Lugar bom , mais muita muita gente 😉

KTM65ccsx: A bit scary on the climb but superman fun

Saleh moujtahid: The games are fun, the park was cleanbut the 10$ extra to access the pool area was unacceptable. We already paid for the park access why extra charges!!

jose Rivera: 25-$90 a day

Cokepencil. psd (GiiForce): Not a crazy ride but still enjoyable.

Joe Bama: IN MY AS

Jacob Patten: This was my first coaster I ever ride on I love Batman but it's not my favorite coaster

jluigi220: Nothing to write home about. Fairly standard compact B&M floorless. Nowhere near a fun as Bizzaro/Medusa at Great Adventure.

Sharon Ann Norton Hatch (Shay): Amongst the Several other coasters in this Huge amusement park,I anticipated riding this "most recognized" ride!After a substantial wait in line,I finally was ready to board.Full Steam ahead,with winding sideway,upside down curves & plenty various sized loops & hills,leave your stomach behind,fasten your belongings & seatbelts.Youre in for a Speedy,Fun,Adventure that seems it lasts 5 seconds long.Sure to bring a few "WHOA'S".....Enjoyed!!

Matt McIrvin: This is an enjoyable, relatively compact Bolliger & Mabillard floorless coaster with five inversions. (It is not to be confused with the identical B&M inverted coasters called "Batman: The Ride" at several other Six Flags parks; this one is different.)It's a floorless, which means that you're riding above the track but in a train with an open construction, so that your legs are hanging out with no floor beneath you or car shell surrounding you. To accomplish this effect, the station has a movable floor that folds away once the ride ops have you secured in the over-the-shoulder restraints. Once that's done, you head up a steep lift hill to a swooping drop that curves sharply off to the left, directly into the first inversion, a forceful vertical loop.This ride is all about inversions, which are tightly constructed and most of which pack powerful positive Gs pushing you down in your seat. There's the vertical loop, a dive loop, a zero-G roll and finally a pair of intertwining corkscrews. If this is your bag, Batman: TDK delivers. There's not a lot of negative G-force, but that is not the aim of this ride.My favorite thing about Batman is that it has a single-rider line! If you don't mind riding by yourself and sitting where the ride ops tell you to sit, you can pretty much skip the line entirely. Go in the coaster's exit, then follow the signs for single riders up the stairs on the right and tell the ride ops you're a single rider. They'll wave you right on, probably on the next train. You could marathon this without waiting.

Blaine Anctil: Love this ride feels awesome! The long wait does not. All around worth the wait for this ride.

Brett clark: Very good roller-coaster but wont let you leave your bag on the side of the ride. Pushes you to spend money to get a locker for the 5 min ride

Lucas Richards: Great ride with a little head bumping. To me I feel like I am flying.

William Crooks: Long wait. Lol but fun

Brandon Strouphauer: One of my favorite floorless roller coasters!

Benjamin Hastings: A very smooth B&M! I had a blast!

Erin Wright: My favorite

Adam Pudlo: Took my middle 2 boys. 12 and 10. The youngest had never been on a coaster. Me just the thunderbolt...lol. It was AMAZING!

George Norton: Great floorless coaster. Second half of the ride might slam your head around a bit, so just keep your head forward and you'll be alright.

Richard Phung: A great time, as always.

Steven Serrano: My fac

A W: Awesome ride 🎢

Matthew Merrill: Not a comfortable experience and was short despite looking long. Very bumpy and was under a different name, during this time they had harder harness that someone looked sideways and busted their nose. Now it's soft however it's very rough ride. Was okay once to ride just to say you did, no other good thing about it.

Andy he: Funny

jluigi220: Really liked this. After having tried Mind Eraser at Six Flags America, I can say that the softer restraints make a world of difference.

Blaine Anctil: Really loved this ride. The wait always seems to be long for this ride.The attendants are friendly but could speak a little louder.This ride really makes you feel good in the bones.

Saber 2187: The ride was entirely bumpy and caused me a headache on the first run

Alyssa Hurley: This ride was awesome. I went on this ride during my senior trip to this park. It was scary at first but after the ride I wanted to go again.

TZehler 43: The Riddler Revenge is the best Vekoma SLC I’ve been on. The addition of the soft shoulder straps was really a nice touch, making the ride way smoother and more enjoyable. But, even with the softer restraints, the ride is still and SLC, and every SLC has the same jerky transitions.

Howard “RJ” Fields: Avoid this ride if you can help it. The restraints are big and bulky, leading to an uncomfortable ride experience. In addition, the ride overall was jerky and the loops in quick succession lead to slight motion sickness. There are definitely better rides at Six Flags New England to spend your time at.

Cokepencil. psd (GiiForce): Probably one of the worst coasters I've experienced. Restraints aren't comfortable and going backwards during the second half of the ride caused me to black out.

Jacob Patten: This is my favorite coaster at the park I love vekoma coasters and I love boomerang coasters even though they are rough but I don't mind

jluigi220: Head banger.

Lucas Richards: I dont like this ride. I Always get dizzy and always bang my head so much. 🤕

Joey Thibault: I gives you a head ache your head gets wiped back and fourth so make sure to hold your head back

Calvin S: the first chain lift was uncomfortable because your pushed against the restrains. same with the cobra roll while going backwards, but it was still fun

Ethan Collette: Didn’t like this ride it was really painful on the cobra roll. And for someone who doesn’t like roller coasters that much, this made it worse. I definitely preferred to go on the backward section of this ride.

Chrissy Franklin: This ride is so awesome I could ride it all-day the carts are amazing the restraints are cozy the best carts are the front and the back of you are scared of rides ride this and you wont be scared of rides that much anymore

Shrek !: A pretty mediocre ride. Lots of head banging and very jerky ride. Also nauseating. Not Recommended. Ride Wicked Cyclone instead!

Cuong Nguyen: It's a good coaster, well used. But the shoulder restraint is thick so it touches your face in the ride. You can smell others sweat. I would bring some Clorox wipes to clean it on your ride.

Mary augustine: Great ride

Benjamin Perea: More of a thrill ride than a coaster. Your head gets flinged around quite a bit -- headaches come easier on this ride than most. A full star removed because the rubber headguards are very very smelly.

Kevin Michalski: Smelly, but actually not as turbulent as I remember.

Kazan the Peerless: I love Boomerang, but please clean the dam seat! It smelled very bad.

Julie A. Landry: They should rename it "Whiplash." It is the absolute worst coaster I have ever been on. My head and neck ached for days. The funny thing is that when I watch the coaster in action, it looks as though it glides to a stop ever so gently when it reaches the top. But when I was on it, it felt like being rear-ended by a bus.

Jade Fit: PLEASE REMOVE THIS RIDE OR FIX THE SEATS, THEY GIVE ME A HEADACHE AND MAKE ME DIZZY🙏🙏🙏🙏

Gregory Lee: There’s padding in the restraints which helps in case of head banging. I recommend riding in the back since it’s not a rough. Pretty intense going backwards, but fun!

August Weber: Painful

Gameboss49: This was my first looping coaster at SFNE and I learned I love vekoma boomerangs

Phonic Strix: If you like going upside down without the constant being shaken around by rollercoasters this is the ride for you! Pretty great if you wanna get used to loops!
