SIX FLAGS
NEW ENGLAND
Agawam, Massachusetts
Six Flags Theme Parks
 Park News - (9/2/2024) Six Flags New England is the latest Six Flags park to announce a new Chaperone Policy will be put into effect during Fright Fest events. All guests age 15 and under must be accompanied by a Chaperone at least 21 years old to remain in the park after 4pm. Underage guests in the park will be asked to leave or ejected from the park at that time.
(5/11/2024) A limited time new addition will open at Six Flags New England today inside the Rockville Theater that will thrill train enthusiasts. It’s called the Rockville Train Show, presented by the Amherst Railway Society, which will allow guests to “explore the world of Model Trains”. The limited time attraction will be open at the park on weekends and some weekdays from 1pm to 7pm, now through July 28, 2024.
(3/3/2024) A reader sent in a pair of photos taken with a telephone lens while flying near Six Flags New England this week. One shows off that the park is now taking down the Kontiki flat ride, while the other shows off a fairly empty Scrambler pad, while the ride is being refurbished.
(2/25/2024) On top of the closed Bonzai Pipleine waterslide, Screamscape is now hearing that the park is also removing the Kontiki flat ride, which I believe was a Chance Alpine Bobs ride. Kontiki has already been removed from the list of rides on the official website.
2024 - Nothing is known or expected to be added at this time...
2025 - Quantum Accelerator - (8/17/2024) Six Flags New England has confirmed that the park will add Quantum Accelerator for the 2025 season, an Intamin-made family straddle-coaster featuring two launches. Quantium Accelerator will hit a top speed of 45mph along a 2,604 foot court length, but is suitable for riders 48 inches tall or more. This is a fun and twisted layout that stays close to the ground for the most part, hitting a max height of 59 feet.
(8/14/2024) While the park’s official announcement is not set to take place until the 15th, it looks like someone on the website team has accidentally posted the text portion of the upcoming announcement page for the park’s new roller coaster to Six Flags New England website.
They are calling it Quantum Accelerator, and pushing it as New England’s First Dual Launch Straddle Coaster, confirming the coaster is from Intamin with a top speed of 45mph, and 2604 feet of track.
“Launching through space and time in 2025 is Quantum Accelerator, New England’s first dual-launch straddle coaster. Quantum Accelerator is a family-friendly thrill ride with two exciting launches, twists and turns, 11 moments of airtime, and speeds up to 45 miles per hour. For more information and construction updates, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, X, and Tik Tok, and join the conversation using the hashtag #QuantumChronicles.”
They’ve even posted the backstory - “In a quiet, secret transaction, Professor Screamore purchased the tiny town of Crackaxle Canyon. The abandoned wild West outpost was the perfect hiding place for his laboratory of bizarre inventions. Time travel always fascinated the eccentric inventor. He dreamed of combining old-world technologies, like steam-powered machinery, with modern marvels to launch himself back and forth through time. But not straight paths through time. Professor Screamore wanted to travel at high speeds with twists, turns, and lots of ups and downs with airtime. Now the professor is almost ready to reveal his latest creation: Quantum Accelerator. Ready to launch into yesterday and tomorrow, steampunk style?”
You can see it yourself (until they take it down) by following this link.
(8/7/2024) Six Flags New England has posted a teaser that the park will make a 2025 announcement on August 15th. Given the theme of the teaser showing off a bunch of gears, I can’t help but wonder if the rumored new family launched coaster could be given a Steam-Punk style theme.
(8/4/2024) So what’s going on at Six Flags New England in 2025? According to leaks posted to social media by ParkFans, it looks like a multi-launch family coaster, possibly from Intamin, is in the works that may be similar in concept to rides we’ve seen United Parks add lately like Arctic Rescue at SeaWorld San Diego, DarKoaster at Busch Gardens Wiliamsburg, or Wave Breaker at SeaWorld San Antonio.
(7/28/2024) Is something new in the works for Six Flags New England for 2025? According to one report on Facebook, something has popped up on the agenda for the Town of Agawam’s Planning board for August 1, 2024. It’s the #1 item on that night’s agenda, listed as going over the “SITE PLAN - 1623 Main Street - Six Flags New England, Inc.”
Stay tuned, hopefully more details will be revealed about what the park is planning.
