My fourth stop on my summer road trip was my former home park, Six Flags New England. I grew up visiting this place, and when Riverside Park became a Six Flags in 2000, my first rides on the brand-new Superman: Ride of Steel catapulted my teenage coaster enthusiasm into the stratosphere. This would be my first time returning to the park since 2005, and a lot has been added. The Cyclone wood coaster got RMC'd and Superman underwent a number of changes to its trains and restraints. Were these changes really that bad? Because it seems nobody considers Superman to be elite anymore.
My father, my friend Eric, and his two young daughters who are budding coaster enthusiasts joined me for my return to Six Flags New England for the first time in 18 years.
