Six Flags New England Description
Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a car full of riders screaming their lungs out as they speed down a 221-foot drop at 77 miles per hour! That would be the 21-story "Superman: Ride of Steel" that you'll either beeline to or run screaming from, depending on your disposition about such things (Hint: expect kids to do the former). Catapult, Mind Eraser, Pandemonium . . . we'll just call those rides self explanatory. Fear not: Those who believe the term "stomach-churning zero-G roll" is a bad thing can opt for Wiggles World.
Kid Tips
Toddlers & Pre-K: Kiddie rides like those in Wiggles World net smiles from even the littlest ones, and you don't have to pay for them until they hit age 3.
School-Age Kids: Height restrictions can be a real downer for the not-yet-tall-enough set. The Six Flags website has the entire scoop on how tall riders have to be for each attraction -- read thoroughly before making promises.
Pre-Teens & Teens: Spend the extra $10 for the multi-day pass. They'll want to go again and again.
Planning Notes
- Deals, deals, deals. Six Flags wants visitors, and deals are aplenty. Be sure to check the website for the latest, including multi-day passes and online-only discounts.
- Get wet. Six Flags admission includes entry into Hurricane Harbor, the adjacent water park—a great place to cool off on a sweltering day.
- Skip the line. It costs extra (starting at $26 for the first person, with additional fees for extra guests or premium privileges), but the Flashpass gets you on the park's flagship rides without waiting in line. Ask for details when you buy your ticket.
