I visited today with a Gold Season Pass and had a great overall experience. The only downside was…read morethe number of bees around, but it didn't take away too much from the day. I arrived between 1 and 2 in the afternoon and started with Batman, which is a very fun coaster. The restraints felt extremely comfortable and secure. It can leave you a little dizzy, but it is definitely worth riding. After walking around for a bit, I made my way to Wicked Cyclone. The lines were very long, but if you come to the park often, you know which rides are worth the wait. I spent about two hours in line, and it ended up being my favorite ride of the day. Afterwards, I grabbed some ice cream near the Starbucks at the entrance. It was decent, though a bit pricey. Two cups came out to about twenty five dollars even with the season pass discount. Next, I headed to Gotham City Gauntlet and then Supergirl Sky Flyer, both of which had very short lines. After that, I rode Scream, which only had about a twenty minute wait and is another one of my favorites. I then went back toward the Batman area to ride Riddler Revenge. It does jolt your head around a bit, but it was not too bad, and the wait time was reasonable. To finish the day, I tried the new coaster Quantum Accelerator. It may not look very intense, but for a family coaster it is surprisingly good. It is very fast, has some nice airtime, and features sharp yet smooth turns that make it feel unique. Unfortunately, Superman was closed during my visit. Overall, I have been coming to this park every summer, and it remains one of the best out there, especially if you enjoy classic coasters.

come here with a PLAN! when you come here, you must budget your time, energy & wallet accordingly!…read more i came here with 3 teens, 11-15. we entered the parking at 1:50pm so i decided to skip the flash pass at $50 each, although i nearly regretted it the entire time. we were only going to be there for less than 6 hours, so i didn't think it would be worth it. it probably was, but it would be nice if they offered it for $39/pp like they used to. the walk from the furthest parking lot isn't bad if you don't have younger kids, takes 7-10 minutes, but would be a nightmare with little ones. i would have paid the $10 for a lot across the street to be closer when we left. we immediately got in line for superman, waited about 1 hour & 20 minutes in 90 degree weather. one of the kids really wanted to go on the cyborg, but we stepped in the inside room where the wait is for about 5 seconds, where it had to be 120+ degrees in there (i love saunas, just not like this) and smelled so bad of body odor that i immediately made the executive decision not to suffer for an indoor ride. they should really add ac or fans to the cyborg line. our next ride was the harley quinn which i had never been on. it was very fun, but it only makes your stomach turn once at the very top, and i probably would not wait an hour for this ride again. they kept letting flash pass people on, which is understandable, but they let them ALL on while everyone else sweated profusely in the sun for over an hour. when i was on the ride, i mentioned i was excited to finally try it, and the kid next to me said this was his third time of the day. really put a damper on the experience. after this, two of the kids went for pizza from carlini's pizza, and i got the half raspberry iced tea, half lemonade which is the best hydration in this park. the other kid ordered loaded cheese fries from the macho nacho burritos, he liked it. all of the food here, no matter where you go, is $18.99 and not justified. although, i did order a chocolate milkshake for $12 from cowabunga burger in the water park that was worth it. it is more like a frappe with how thick it is, and was the perfect treat to cool down. we visited hurricane harbor at about 4:30 for just over an hour, it was nearly impossible to find seats for myself and one teen but he ended up doing better than me in that area! the two girls went in the wave pool for awhile, then waited in the line for the tornado before being told it was down. did hurricane harbor always smell this pissy, or is it accumulated over so many years? i never remember it smelling so strong of pee, just chlorine. i used to love the water park as a kid, but based on the smell, it will remain a fond memory for me. the joker is the old mind eraser. i couldn't quite tell, until the ride where my head hit the back of the seat 3 times at the point where it slows down, to be reminded, "ahh yes, this is definitely the mind eraser, i remember this." only the mind eraser could bring back such fond memories of your brain feeling scrambled, and your head feeling a bit bruised for about 15 minutes. wicked cyclone is an older coaster made with wood & steel. it looks underwhelming but i'd argue it's one of the best rides in the park for thrill seekers. it seemed to make up for a number of disappointments on a very hot, july day, for myself and all three kids. many of the rides kept letting on all the fast passes, and letting the other line wait. wicked cyclone was the only one who allocated properly and allowed in x amount of fast passes as well as the regular line so that both lines moved. they had the nicest staff, and none of the other rides did it that way, which seemed like an oversight. six flags new england is the only real amusement park we have in new england, so rating it based on that makes the score higher, but compared to other national amusement parks, it could be better. i'd be really disappointed if it were gone. i think they can make some improvements. six flags new england holds a special place in my heart, it was one of my favorite places as a kid.

Thunderbolt is one of those rides you want to love because the nostalgia is doing all the heavy…read morelifting. This classic wooden coaster has history -- real Riverside Park DNA -- and that alone gives it a certain charm you can't manufacture. But once you get past the sentimental value, the cracks start to show. The biggest issue is the line experience, or honestly, the lack of one. There's no staff presence helping guests form or maintain any kind of organized queue, so the line turns into a free‑for‑all. People cutting, groups merging, confusion everywhere -- it takes away from the fun before you even reach the station. And speaking of the station, the ride itself feels like it's running on the bare minimum. For an older coaster, you expect a little rattle, but this feels more like low maintenance than vintage charm. Thunderbolt deserves better upkeep, especially given its legacy at the park. At the end of the day, the nostalgia is notable -- even special -- but the overall experience doesn't match the potential. With some attention to operations and maintenance, this could easily climb back into must‑ride territory. Hold on to your seats and try to enjoy

From the moment that iconic red-and-blue train dispatches, you know you're in for something legendary. The climb up that towering lift hill feels like a slow-motion drumroll, and then -- boom -- you're launched into one of the most exhilarating first drops in the entire park. The wind hits, the track disappears beneath you, and suddenly you're flying in a way that actually earns the Superman name. The best part is the airtime. Those long, smooth hills deliver that perfect weightless float that keeps you grinning from ear to ear. The layout is fast, clean, and surprisingly re-rideable for such a massive steel coaster. Even the turns feel like they were engineered for maximum fun, not just intensity. The theming is simple but effective, the crew keeps the line moving, and the whole experience feels like a flagship attraction that still holds up against newer coasters. If you're at Six Flags, this is a must‑ride, no excuses. Final verdict: A top-tier thrill machine that delivers every single time. Five stars, no hesitation.

The park has multiple parking lots with one main entrance. Parking was easy, but I definitely recommend completing the online waiver before you arrive; it makes the check-in process much faster. I also suggest purchasing your tickets in advance since popular dates can sell out. There were so many water activities to choose from that everyone in the family could find something fun to do. I was impressed by how many lifeguards were stationed throughout the park, which made me feel that safety was a priority. The atmosphere was lively, family-friendly, and full of people enjoying the day. There's an open-air food court with a variety of food, drinks and seating area. The scenery is beautiful, and the former quarry makes for a unique backdrop you won't find at a typical water park. A few tips for first-time visitors: * Wear water shoes; they'll make walking around much more comfortable. * Bring sunscreen, towels, and plenty of water. * Complete your waiver and buy your tickets online before arriving to save time. * Check the park's website before your visit for hours, weather updates, and any activity restrictions. Overall, Brownstone is a great destination for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for an adventurous summer day in Connecticut. I'd definitely come back!

Reserve ahead of time especially on weekend days when it's hot out because they do sell out. It's crowded in the picnic areas but we were having so much fun in the water we barely got out. If you are overweight or not reasonably athletic you will probably want to bring a chair. Our favorite parts were the highest zip lines and the big slide because the wait time was more reasonable for both. We got wakeboarding passes but it was so crowded and slow moving we didn't even try. The crowds thin out after 4 so if you don't want to spend all day come after noon. 10-11am and you are waiting in line to get in even if you did the waiver in advance.
