I don't hate the addition but feel a bit cheated. Were basically getting the old Joker attraction back with a new ride system which one can be found at TGE and 2 is similar to Krypton Kolider. I think this will turnout to be an enjoyable attraction but overall it dosn't add much to the park.

I do feel Kryptonite is leaving more sooner than later. I think it was supposed to be gone this year but got the switcharoo from Six Flags St. Louis.

I guess anything is possible. but Who knows. One would think Boomerang and Tomahawk would be gone with similar bigger versions being added so Its hard to say.

I'm also curious where and ow much queue this ride is going to have since they seem to have converted a Emergency exit to a new entrance.

I saw tomorrow is their commercial shoot.  I'm intrigued to see how many times people need to ride a spinning ride in a row for it.  :D

Local news has a preview video showing off the ride here:
https://www.westernmassnews.com/better/new-ride-comes-to-six-flags-new-england/video_33723f0f-dafa-54d9-b25a-9c57fff7cc1f.html

Looks neat, I just hope they figured out a way to add Ac to the building. Back in the jokers wildcard days, it got really humid in there. Nice to see a little more theming than cardboard cutouts and signs. The animation in the screens looks a bit janky and dated. Overall, should be a nice addition to the park as it appears to have a bit of a storyline.

Thanks, couldn't watch add plays smooth but the news report kept freezing and jumping position. tried posing and starting again and it just re-shows the add and same issue. saw Dr Giggels coverage of the queue area.

Overall not bad theming. The queue seems a bit small.

I rode it yesterday. The ride was down most of the day (I think mostly because the air conditioning went down, but unclear).  Not a great look during a preview day, but things happen. I chose to wait it out so spent about 2 hours waiting. The queue inside does have some good theming.  The ride itself was fun, but the “storyline” of it was a bit lost given that screens inside are only in certain parts of the room (and you’re obviously spinning) and you couldn’t really hear what was going on. To enhance the story aspect, they should either have had screens all around the room and blared the volume or timed the ride to be flatly spinning at key moments so you could tell what was going on.
Overall though, a fun ride and good addition. I’d wait about 20 minutes for it going forward though 😉

That's my feeling when it comes to many of the newer additions. don't think the queue itself can hold more then 5 cycles or so. So minus downtime a full queue shouldn't be much more then that.
