WICKED Cyclone - Six Flags New England 2015

^lel

You know something's wrong when the majority of the airtime a park advertises is before the lift

^
Not the majority, but yeah it is a big part lol

[TTD03]

^ Sure looks like 8 or 9 hops lol before the lift!

Airtime, no matter where it is...is ALWAYS a welcome sight in "airtime starved" southern California.

Rocky Mountain Construction just posted these photos on facebook.

I remember on Insane Coaster Wars, the park manager for SFMM was talking about Goliath and said that it gave up inversions and speed for airtime. I was like there is literally only like 2 airtime hills on the ride.

Also on that show, Six Flags coasters always beat out Cedar Fair rides and then I realized that Six Flags paid Travel Channel to let them win.

Heh, not when TTD and MF were playing

Some more pics to drool over

its funny how flimsy it looks
doesn't look so well supported....

drop looks nice! thanks for the pics! I am drooling.

That lift crest looks very wide,I think it will be faster than usual! So sexy!!!

[gouldy]

Yeah, I had that suspicion also. The crest seems huge in comparison to the size of the drop. So a fast lift is quite possible - like El Toro's lift speed.

[Paradox]

I can only imagine what that drop will feel like.

^^El Toro uses a cable lift though, and this it can reach that speed.

[TTD03]

^ But remember, El Toro's system is almost 10 years old, and chains have gotten a lot more powerful and fast, so it is possible I think for a fast chain.

Yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up on that lasting more than a season if it ends up existing in the first place

[TTD03]

^ Lol, like the MF issues in the first season, which explains why it goes up slower now and then speeds up near the top after the hold has cleared.

Update!
Lots of new pictures!

No there still using plenty, if they didn't need it, it would be gone by now.
Coaster looks great!

[TTD03]

^ Yup!

i like the water bottle in the picture

Lol six flags found a way to replace wood with plastic bottles

So I'm not the only one who was going to say something about the bottle...
