I don't get why so many people are hating on this ride because it's a "carnival" ride. It's just for people who don't enjoy the extreme thrill rides as much.

[@disneyislife7342]

Thank you

[@titadelgado7598]

I went on this n it was was was was WAS an carnival ride its fun tho

[@eemanshabbir9836]

+Tita Delgado Yeah I mean it's not that bad. Again, not everyone who goes to SixFlags is a huge thrill seeker. So something simple like a carnival ride is best for them?? IDK its pretty scary tho

[@titadelgado7598]

To be honest Six Flags is somewhat of a permanent carnival if you think about it.

I can't believe how much hate this ride gets. It's meant for the riders who aren't "Superman: The Ride ready" like I'm so grateful that six flags New England brought this, as well as 2 OTHER NEW ride experiences in 2016. Like WOW. Most parks don't even get one new ride experience every year. So the fact that we got 3 new rides and people are still complaining? Like get on with your self and your life. Did I mention how thrilling this ride is? It provides amazing hang time and a great thrill. Fireball fits in the Rockville area so well. Thank you six flags New England for bringing 3 new ride experiences!

[@harryandruschak2843]

Pride. Those who like the more extreme coasters enjoy sneering at those who ride what they consider to be inferior coasters. The idea of enjoying a ride just for the sake of enjoying a ride may be beyond their comprehension.

[@elocinyrollam7220]

It's time for a story. Now, I was 13 years old when I went on this rollar coaster. I had never been on a roller coaster that went upside-down before. Little me had severe anxiety, but I was pressured by friends to get on it with them. So, I did. Lord let me tell you, I do not recommend it to anyone who has any sort of anxiety or panic attacks. As soon as I was looking down at my friends who were in the seats across from me, I knew. I had fucked up. I put my legs across and locked my feet under their seats. I felt my body sweating and could feel my body slipping out of my restraints. I closed my eyes as tight as I could and thought of better things. I tried to keep my breathing steady, but started panting. I could hearing people screaming and the feeling of knowing there was only one thing keeping me from plummeting to the ground was too much for me. I never went back to Six Flags that day, kids, and even after that I was pressured into riding Batman, Superman, and Mr. Freeze. Don't let anyone pressure you into something you're worrying about.

[@AvoidTIMtation]

I think Six Flags hands were tied when they said every park would get a new attraction every year. You can't add new coasters and big rides every single year so they had to resort to adding fair rides.

[@kenwaters4720]

AvoidTIMtation it is a carnival ride but this one is way bigger then the ones you find at your county or state fairs

[@eliasmertens9313]

If you are going to bash one flat ride you might as well bash all of them. 98% of flat rides have a transportable model for fairs and carnivals. This ride isn't any more carnival-y than the rest.

[@amazingpandx4809]

Luckily the ride is stronger then cheap fair rides.

[@1738gabe]

This is actually at my county fair

[@youtubehackedbypta4834]

Today was my first experience of the ride. Listen to me the feeling was of good and when your upside down listen omggg. I would ride it again and again!!! Loved it

[@stormgirl09]

this is one of my favorite carnival rides and its the closet thing to a roller coaster you will get at most carnivals...however at a place that has real coasters its kind of out of place you know?

[@aidancavanaugh5834]

Not really the park needed an inverting ( upside down ) flat ride, they hadn't had one since 2013 when they removed twister which was located where this ride stands d Today

[@TheRockacer22]

the restraints on this ride is what makes it thrilling. No secondary/magnetic locking mechanism XD

[@Blindcurve4]

this ride looks lie a mix of the Thunderbolt, the Pirate and the Rainbow Ride; Awesome!!

[@featherdande7017]

sound effects was DOPE 👍

[@fifiesponja07]

I've been waiting for them to do something with the space Twister left for some years, this seems pretty fitting, I thought it'd be a little more extreme like faster loops, but seems cool, might go and ride it today.

Max McIntyre Have you ever ridden one of these things?!? I rode my first one when I was 6. It worked me up to “Extreme” thrills. Now I’m off here riding Superman the Ride and Batman the Ride. It’s is for people who aren’t ready for extreme rides. It is a gateway ride.

[@deannaeverhart9506]

This ride is so much fun.

Bro I passed out on this 7 times 😂

[@gustavosanchez4211]

carnival rides are the best! just one question to Coaster Force. Is this ride the same height as the Ring of Fire at carnivals?

[@michaelbianco32]

it's actually taller I think than the carnival versions

[@toyman659BillWhite]

+Gustavo Sanchez Most ring of fire's are 50 foot due to weight restrictions for the trailer. Plus the ring on the Carnival version is a bit narrower than the 73 foot rings. A 50 foot ring of fire with semi and trailer weights in just under 40 tons. A friend of mine use to have one of the 50 foot versions in his collection of carnival rides as well.

I've had the worst luck with this ride. I've been to SFNE 4 times since this was open, broken every time. I also went to Great Escape once, also broken. Update: I finally got to ride it yesterday, 4/12/18

No it hasn't.....its been open everyday except in June for about 2 days. The only time it's down is for rain.

[@tinabastarache2674]

i was luckily able to go on first time yesterday 9/11/16 it was actually running yes it has broken down happens a lot to non roller coaster rides.. i felt bit scared when being locked in i was having issue with seatbelt so i had some anxiety thought restrain was to loose it obviously wasnt once the ride started i was fine i thought it was fun not super scary thrill but some "airtime" is fun to me, i love roller coasters the best missed out on superman again because a two hr wait time those lockers only last two hrs. and i don't give a crap about choosing vurtual reality. waited in line for this ride for about 15 mins.

I have been afraid of rides until last oct. My wife came up with a way to get me on this ride. Since it was oct and halloween she dared me tlo wear one of het outfits and go on ride. ( outfit was her leather leggings , silk top , her leather jacket and a pair of her leather boots ) so i wore her outfit and went on ride. As i was wearing het outfit i walked up to ride and of course sat in the very front seat. I sat down on rise and pulled down the shoulder bar. I was locked in and scared. As the ride moves wife said look at me wearing her clothes and i laughed and laughed during the whole ride. I did it.

I am heading to SFNE with on June 21st, which is the day right after school gets out, do you think it will be super crowded or will it be fairly empty? I really don't want to wait in 2 hours line just to ride a roller coaster and ruin the day.

[@Toastaa187]

I think medium because it probably busiest in July and August and some schools haven't gotten out yet

[@thegentleblade7122]

Thanks for your input, really appreciate it! Obviously knowing six flags, on busy days there is such long lines and they sometimes only run 1 train when they have 3. So if it isn't to busy I'll be happy!
