Six Flags New England working to add new roller coaster ride to its Agawam amusement park Sandra Constantine, The Republican 08/16/2011 7:03 AM

AGAWAM – Six Flags New England is working to replace one of its original rides with a new attraction, a roller coaster to be called the "Giant Inverted Boomerang."

“We are extremely excited about what we are going to do,” Jennifer Mance, director of sales and marketing for the local attraction, said Monday.

As for the cost of the new project, Mance said more information, though not necessarily the cost, will be released on Sept. 1.

Site plans for the ride, which will replace the water attraction Ship Wreck Falls, will be taken up by the Planning Board when it meets Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Agawam Public Library. Six Flags must get the Planning Board to approve its site plans for the project to move forward. The board is expected to put the plans to a vote Thursday, according to Planning and Community Development Director Deborah S. Dachos.

The new ride will be about 267.6 feet at its highest and will feature a steel roller coaster running on tracks in the shape of an “X,” according to information on file in the Planning Department.

Plans call for dismantling the water attraction Ship Wreck Falls and installing the new ride over its footprint. A new outdoor eating area is also planned for the neighborhood of the existing food court, according to the site plan review application filed with the city.

Ship Wreck Falls was one of the original rides at the amusement park.

“However, the ride has served well and is in need of replacement,” amusement park representatives wrote in the site plan review application. The application states that none of the work is near a resource area for a wetland. If it were, that would mean the project would probably need approval from the Conservation Commission.

Mayor Richard A. Cohen Monday greeted the advent of a new ride at the park with enthusiasm.

“New rides at the park attract people to that venue,” Cohen said. “I’m glad Six Flags is working with the town to create a new attraction for the park as they are a regional economic boost to the economy in the Pioneer Valley.”

A regional attraction at 1623 Main St., Six Flags currently offers amusement park-goers 10 rides. The tenth ride, Gotham City Gauntlet Escape from Arkham Asylum, was opened to the public in April.

Six Flags Entertainment Corp. is the world’s largest regional theme park company. It has 19 parks across the United States, Mexico and Canada. Six Flags’ flagship park, Six Flags Over Texas, just marked its 50th anniversary.

267 feet? Don't they need a permit for anything over 200 feet? Maybe they won't get them and we'll have a Dark Knight scenario all over again!

I'd rather get Deja Vu then have that happen again, I was sooo pissed lol. I think they only say 267 because the spikes would be located on a hill. So just add on the 77 feet above sea level and you have the height.

new outdoor food court? where i hope its right under deja vu, hunny can you pass the salt, (deja vu roars under them) what did you say

Dr. Gigglez · Aug 16, 2011

Re: Deja Vu Relocation to SFNE

im wondering where exactly that the new food court is going lol and what else is being torn down to put this coaster in because all in all then we know flashback is on the chopping block for sure unless SF is really that stupid to keep 2 of the exact same rides in lol

Though they do prove they are pretty stupid so im sure we will find out on Sept first only because Six Flags Twitter said stay tuned announcements coming Sept 1st and along with Superhero Celebration when ever that gets scheduled !!!!

Re: Deja Vu Relocation to SFNE

If they do remove Flashback, I'm wondering why they would paint a ride, only to keep it running for 3 seasons, then get ride of it...

redsd2121 · Aug 16, 2011

Re: Deja Vu Relocation to SFNE

^Maybe because this time 3 years ago they didn't plan on installing a GIB right next to it. I'm sure old management had better plans for the park.

Mr. Six · Aug 16, 2011

Re: Deja Vu Relocation to SFNE

But do we know if Deja Vu is being removed from SFMM? That's the only thing that isn't confirmed.

redsd2121 · Aug 16, 2011

Re: Deja Vu Relocation to SFNE

That's what I was thinking. Because maybe the 267' wasn't an error, and maybe its not because of being above sea level. Maybe we are actually getting a BRAND new GIB!?

SixFlagsFunatic · Aug 16, 2011

Re: Deja Vu Relocation to SFNE

^^ LOL you know I love the company overall...
But brand new and Six Flags in the same sentence??? HAHAHAHAHA
Six Flags and error in the same sentence?? Believable.
