| | | Hints of SFNE's new rides. Check this out!
As an employee of Six Flags New England, around this time, I recieve a newletter notify employees from last season to re-apply. The new letter was sent out around X-mas time. The newletter also has a little paragraph from each department (Foods, rides, games, etc.) I was reading over the paper yesterday and I noticied hints about the new rides coming in 2005. Here is what it said-- (the quotation marks were really in the newletter)
UNDER RIDES SECTION:
As we "sling shot" into the 2005 season....... the 2004 season comes to an end we can all stop running around like "wild mice".......we're gonna be putting a "new spin" on things.
UNDER HURRICANE HARBOR SECTION:
Get ready to "rocket" into the 2005 season.
<----I don't get this one. The new waterslide is a "typhoon" slide, not a "rocket" slide.
I just thought this was pretty cool. This newletter came out before the rides were even announed or approved! |

| | | It's going to be an Intamin and S&S creation: Spinning seats on a Space Shot tower. I don't know, sounds pretty cool, more like 2 different new rides in the park though. |

It's probably gonna two rides and not that whacked-up hybrid you just came up with. My money's on a Zamperla Wild Mouse and an S&S Slingshot.

| | | Typhoon seems to be the slides NAME so it could still be a 'rocket' slide / masterblaster type slide..
but we all know about the mouse slide and slongshot.. so you didnt hint anything
and the Sling Shot will be like the FunTime ride..(bungeeball)
not an S&S ride.... S&S doesnt make a "sling shot" they make Snow Shot Space Shot and Sky SLing......

| | | The rides are already announced, the spinning coaster is a Gerstlauer. I don't know what company the slingshot will be made by but it is gonna be the same type of ride as the bungeeball. I know I didn't hint anything new I just thought it was cool how they put hints in the newsletter b4 any info came out. |

| | | FunTime makes most of the SlingShots at other SF parks and just at most parks overall.. so my guess it will be from them.

| | | Wow, that's come pretty cool rides for next year! A fun spinning wild mouse, a masterblaster that looks like a roller coaster, and another fun water slide, plus a sling shot!

| | Uh... a water ride is not a roller coaster.
Mr Six the ride.  They will probably drop that part of the name in a couple of years when Mr. Six gets the axe.
