WICKED Cyclone - Six Flags New England 2015

The gray is the only part that bothers me about the train, I know gray is a big theme color, but I just don't like gray on my trains.
Blue and orange is ehh.

^ This is because I'm tired, but I first read that as "I just don't like gravy on my trains"

I cannot unsee "gravy on my trains" anymore. Thanks CKidd.

TC is getting better with the surprise it keeps adding as it goes I wish they did the same with WC

Weather has been horrible the last few weeks and spring is just arriving. I don't think they could've done much work.

I'm guessing a mid-June opening.

^ I don't know how the people in New England react, but in PA, we're in t-shirts and shorts as soon as it hits 40*

^ Same here in NJ today, everyone in t-shirts and shorts.

Same up in Cleveland.

[TTD03]

^ Thought Cleveland was like that every day of the year rain, snow, or shine

Good point, I've been in shorts all winter.

From SFNE Online:


Hard to see in this pic, but apparently RMC is making slight changes in design to both Wicked Cyclone and Twisted Colossus. There will now be an outward banking turn/hill instead of the three straight over banks as seen in the POV. Insane!

That part was one of my favorite elements/sequences of this ride lol...

They can decide to just do that? Don't they have to get that approved bytowns of the parks? And then remake new pieces of track? Seems like a lot of extra money for Six Flags to waste.

Depends on who requested the change - cost is on RMC if they wanted to change the layout because it didn't work previously. Also bear in mind that animations take a long time to complete - especially these ones that aren't based on NL2 (track changes require more work). What may have happened is they created the animation based on the almost final track layout - then this layout change came about but it was too resource and time intensive (SF would obviously have marketing deadlines to meet) and what was submitted / fabricated ect. was actually the revised layout.

So that turn around is going to be essentially the same as the one that'll be below the goes into the brakes? I'm ok with this since it looked like a neat idea
