News: Slingshot on hold, other rides set

Posted at 4:39 AM EDT (0839 GMT)

Apr. 9th, 2005 -- Opening at Six Flags New England are two of three new rides: Mr. Six's Pandemonium and Typhoon. Slingshot has been put on hold, a spokeswoman for the park said.

SFNE spokeswoman Melissa Pinkerton said officials are concentrating on opening the two other rides, a roller coaster and water coaster.

Pandemonium will open next week, and Typhoon will open with the water park, Hurricane Harbor, May 21.

Slingshot still appears to be in the park's plans.

/ Yeah, I noticed and I wondered why. And I still do. Why did they delay it? Funds? Time? Too much to work on at a time?

I hope they still put it in. Maybe they just want to get the other two up and running first.

That Slingshot came from our park (Kentucky Kingdom). The ticketbooth still reads "Slingshot" and when peeps buy tickets for the Thrill Karts they always ask where Slingshot is and why we don't have it.

I miss Slingshot.

The slingshot is the pay per ride where the riders are strapped in and launched vertical, right? I don't see why the ride would be moved. I can't imagine it's that expensive to simply buy another one in the first place instead of moving one from one park to another.
