Six Flags New England, or SFNE, and formerly called Riverside Amusement Park, is a theme park in the Six Flags chain of parks, named for the New England region in which it is located. Located off of Massachusetts State Route 159, Six Flags New England is located in greater Springfield, Massachusetts, in the nearby town of Agawam, Massachusetts.[1][2] The park's postal address determined by the United States Postal Service is 1623 Main St, Agawam, MA, 01001. Like most other Six Flags parks, Six Flags New England consists of a theme park and a water park. Technically speaking, it is the oldest of the Six Flags parks, though it did not originally open as such. It is one of three major theme parks in New England, the other two being Canobie Lake Park in New Hampshire, which resides northeast of Six Flags New England, and Lake Compounce in Connecticut, which resides south-southwest of the park.

History
Throughout most of the 20th century, the park was known as Riverside Park. It started out as a picnic grove called Gallops Grove in 1840, and was eventually renamed to Riverside Grove, then Riverside Park. Riverside was a trolley park owned by the Springfield Street Railway.[3] In the early 1900s a few mechanical rides and a carousel were added. The park was purchased in 1940 by Edward J. Carroll, Sr. In 1941, the park acquired its first roller coaster, a wooden roller coaster called the Thunderbolt which still operates today. The park had a movie theater and a bowling alley as well as a concert arena.
The Riverside Park Speedway was built in 1948, replacing an open air bandstand at Riverside Park. Edward Carroll, Sr. took a liking to auto racing, a sport that was gaining popularity in the Northeast after World War II, and added it to his slate of attractions at Riverside.
The park continued to add new rides and removed some older ones. The theater and bowling alley were removed in the late 1950s, making Riverside Park a seasonal attraction. The 1960s was a popular period for stock car racing at Riverside Park. NASCAR began to hold events at Riverside Park Speedway in 1976. The winner of the first NASCAR-organized event at Riverside was Bob Polverari.
In 1977, Riverside Park added its first looping roller coaster, Black Widow. The park continued to be a successful park throughout the 1970s, and a log flume ride was added in that period. By the 1980s, the park stopped selling individual ride tickets and began charging a "pay one price" admission. In 1983, Riverside Park added its third roller coaster, which was also the park's second wooden coaster. The owners originally wanted a coaster exactly like the Coney Island Cyclone, but space was limited, so the coaster would need to take up less space and would have sharp twists and turns. It became known as the Riverside Cyclone.
In 1994, Riverside park added a waterpark area called Island Kindgom which would be included with park admission. That area included a children's water play area, several tube slides, a couple body slides and a wave pool. By the then, the third generation of the Carroll family was operating the park but in 1996 several major theme park operators (Six Flags, Premier Parks and Cedar Fair) were interested in purchasing the facility. Oklahoma City-based Premier Parks bought Riverside Park in February 1997, although the announcement of the sale was made in October 1996. Premier Parks also acquired Fun Time Parks, which had recently bought nearby Lake Compounce and owned The Great Escape in Queensbury. Premier then sold Lake Compounce to Kennywood and decided to keep Riverside.
Riverside Park then became known as "Riverside." In 1997, Riverside invested $20 million in new rides and attractions. Of these new rides the Vekoma Inverted Standard Looping Coaster The Mind Eraser was the largest investment with a $10 million price tag. Other rides were a "Shoot the Chutes" named Shipwreck Falls, the world's first (Vekoma Air Jumper) named Time Warp, for a short time the park added a (Chance) Choas to the Rockville area replacing the Musik Express Himilaya. Choas didn't last very long and was later replaced by a (Huss) Top Spin named Twister. Near the end of the season the park also added a (Zamperla) Balloon Race to the north end of the park which replaced the parks Wave Swinger, which was relocated to the Main Street area of the park. Other improvements where a children's play structure called Paul Bunyan's Buzzsaw Company which included to kiddie rides, a new entrance plaza and the Carousel was moved to the front gate and received a new building covering the ride.
In 1998 the park added several more attractions improving the water park which included lazy river, another children's play structure named Hook's Lagoon, a speed slide tower called Cannonball, a family raft slide named Swiss Family Tobaggan, and a multi slide tower called Big Kahuna. The water park expansion was added to the South End of the park next to the parks log flume replacing two rides, Tri Star and Swiss Bobs, and relocted the Spider next to Mind Eraser and the Mind Scrambler (which was enclosed) to the North End under the park's Sky Ride where it sits now. With The Spider being moved next to Mind Eraser the parks Sea Dragon was moved next to the Antique Cars.
Aside from the water park 1998, the park also added The Hellevator, a S&S Turbo Drop tower that is 21 stories tall, which was originally painted red. The park also brought back Choas and located it next to Mind Eraser, and a (Huss Breackdance) named Barrels of Fun next to the kiddie bumper cars and the entrance to the waterpark. The park also added a new kiddie area dubbed Startoon Studios which removed a lot of the aging kiddie rides from the park and leaving only the Bumper Buggies (kiddie bumper cars) in what was Kiddie Land South and the Flying Elephants, Kiddie Himilaya and Rickie's Little Twister coaster in Kiddie Land North. Startoon Studies took over what once was Kiddie Land North and added several rides from Zamperla; Speedtrap, Rio Grande train, Bigfoot Trucks, Crazy Bus, and Kiddie Swings. A new food court was added to the North End and was partially in Startoon Studios and the North End areas in the park.
On April 1, 1998, Premier Parks acquired the larger Six Flags chain of parks from Time Warner. The park continued to be known as "Riverside" until the end of the 1999 season.
In 1999 the park made a 50% expansion to the water park adding a new slide tower named Shark Attack and a second wave pool called Hurricane Bay. The park added a (Hopkins River Raft) named Blizzard River ride to the North End replacing a set of Dry Slides, the old Bumper Cars. Blizzard River was themed to incorporate the Penguin character from the Batman Franchise but the name of the ride was never changed when the park was allowed to use characters from DC Comics on their rides. An example can be seen at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. A new western area was added on a hill behind Shipwreck Falls named Crack Axle Canyon. Crack Axle Canyon included 4 rides three which were new to the park. Barrels of Fun was moved and renamed Rodeo which resided on the top of the hill next to the Tomahwak (Huss Frisbee) and Houdini's Great Escape (Vekoma Madhouse.) The fourth ride to the area was a new floor powered Bumper Cars from (Zamperla.) The park added new additional rides to the South End of the park. The first was a (Chance Double Inverter) named Double Trouble located next to the newly placed Chaos and a (Zamperla) Tea Cups which replaced the parks Slingshot (Flying Carpets) in front of the Colossus Ferris Wheel. Kontiki a (Chance Alipine Bobs) replaced Barrels of Fun.
At the end of the 1999 season The racetrack was destroyed at that point for a major expansion in the very near future.
The turn of the millenium marked a huge change in the park. Riverside, like many Premier Parks was "flagged" or rebranded as a Six Flags Park. Some of the other parks kept their names with Six Flags branding. Others, like The Great Escape in Lake George, never did get rebranded, but are still Six Flags properties. Riverside Park, though, was re-branded as "Six Flags New England". The main street running through the park was renamed "Carroll Drive" in honor of the family which had owned it for much of its rise to a major New England park. With the rebranding of Six Flags the park added a new front gate plaza.
After the Riverside Park Speedway was removed in 1999, a brand new section of the park was built, themed to DC Comics. The area had several new rides including "Superman: Ride of Steel", the parks premier attraction, which was later rethemed to Bizarro (Six Flags New England), a steel hyper-coaster. It was designed by Intamin AG. Two slightly different versions (those two are mirror images of each other) of Superman - The Ride Of Steel reside at sister park Six Flags America and Darien Lake (now owned by PARC). A Batman Stunt Show arena was added to the area, a second coaster named Poison Ivy's Tangled Train from (Zierer), Nightwing (Huss Flyaway), and Joker's Wildcard (Indoor Chance Wipeout.)
Besides the DC Comics area the park added a third Coaster called Flashback (Vekoma Boomerang) which replaced the Black Widow and Rotor in the North Area. Flashback was actually built on the site of the kiddie coaster Rolling Thunder. Rolling Thunder, now named Great Chase, replaced the aging Rickie's Little Twister coaster in the renamed/rethemed Startoon Studios which had been giving the name and theme of Looney Tunes Movie Town. The Flying Elephants were replaced by a similar ride themed to Marvin the Martian and a live stage show replaced the Kiddie Himilaya. Other additions were an expansion to the Hellevator adding two additional towers which were capable of a three mode operating mode which included the Turbo Drop, Space Shot, and Double Shot modes. Only the original Hellevator tower can only operate in Turbo Drop mode. The parks Slingshot was brought back with a new paint job, theme and name of Buzzsaw.
In 2001, the parking lot was moved across the road, and a bridge was built to allow access to the entrance of the park. There were a few changes with the Paul Bunyan's play structure becoming a small kiddie area called Tiny Timber Town with the addition of three new kiddie rides; a kiddie ferris wheel and helicopter built within the play area and a third (Zamperla LoliSwing) replacing the Sea Dragon. Buzzsaw's theme helped to blend in the theme of Tiny Timber Town which had a logger theme.
Batman: The Dark Knight (B&M Floorless coaster) was added in 2002, the water park was doubled in size and renamed Hurricane Harbor in 2003, and two new rides were introduced for the 2005 season: the spinning coaster Pandemonium (originally themed to Mr. Six) and a water coaster named Typhoon.
For the 2006 season, the SWAT flat ride from the now-defunct Six Flags Astroworld (now re-named Catapult) and Diablo Falls, also from Astroworld (now re-named Splash Water Falls) were added to the park's ride lineup.
In 2007 two new kids areas were added, The Wiggles (Wiggles World) and Thomas the Tank Engine (Thomas Town). Wiggles World took over the Tiny Timber Town area retheming some of the existing rides and removing the play structure. Wiggles World also added new rides, wet and dry play elements, and a live stage show. Thomas Town was added next to the main entrance and included a train ride on Thomas and two new kiddie rides. The Hall of Justice was also built into the vacant building of the Joker's Wildcard near the Bizarro coaster.
In 2008, Six Flags New England was to open The Dark Knight an indoor MACK Wild Mouse coaster based on the upcoming film of the same name. The park's other Batman-based attraction had its named changed from Batman: The Dark Knight to Batman: The Ride to avoid confusion. However, due to permit issues, the ride was cancelled and dismantled. The ride would have cost the park $7.5 million in exchange for bringing $280,000 in taxes for the state of Massachusetts. Thus the cancellation angered the city of Agawam, which stated the issues with the ride were not present. [4] Instead, the park announced the new "Glow in the Park" parade. On November 8, 2008 the Town of Agawam approved Six Flags the right to build roller coasters up to the height of 200 feet. This will pave the way for many new roller coasters in the future. [5]
Recently, Six Flags announced a makeover to the Superman roller coaster, adding an in-ride soundtrack and special effects, a makeover also undergoing with Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure and similar to what was done with X in its conversion to X² (roller coaster) in 2008 at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The ride is now called Bizzaro, named after Superman's enemy. The makeover has included a re-paint of the track, which it is now purple. It is the same high-tech qualities of the old ride, just upgraded with pyrotechnics and special effects.
Flash Pass
Six Flags New England offers a "Flash Pass" system that allows riders to use a "Flash Pass" to "reserve" a place in line for a ride, thereby allowing one to "wait in line" for two rides at once.

These are the rides that are offered with a Flash Pass:
- Batman - The Dark Knight
- Blizzard River
- Bizarro
- Catapult
- Cyclone
- Flashback
- Mind Eraser
- Pandemonium
- Scream
- Splash Water Falls

The line-up of Looney Tunes characters includes: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig, Petunia Pig, Pepe Le Pew, Roadrunner, Wile E. Coyote, Marvin the Martian, Taz, Granny, Lola Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Speedy Gonzalez, Yosemite Sam, and Gossamer.
In 2006, the park underwent a massive expansion in the entertainment department when Mark Shapiro took control of Six Flags. With this Six Flags New England has added The Justice League characters, along with the Hall of Justice. In 2007 enemies of the Justice League known as the Legion of Doom came to Six Flags. This addition brought the following characters to the park: Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, The Joker, The Riddler, Sinestro, Cheetah, Lex Luther, and Captain Cold.
The park also has some of the characters from Mystery Inc including the great dane detective himself Scooby Doo, his best friend Shaggy Rogers, and his nephew Scrappy Doo. In 2008 Sundaes with Scooby replaced Brunch with Bugs. Sundaes with Scooby was similar to Brunch with Bugs; it cost extra but it gave guests private play time with the stars of Mystery Inc. Guests were allowed to design their own Cold Stone Creamery sundaes. They would dance and even tie up their siblings or parents in fun and exciting childrens games and everyone received an autograph and a goody bag filled with special prizes. Sundaes with Scooby did not return in the 2009 season.
Additionally, the park also features two non-Looney Toons themed kids' areas: Wiggles World, and Thomas the Tank Engine Town. Within these areas a variety of Wiggles characters (Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus,and Captain Feathersword) and Sir Topham Hatt (from Thomas the Tank Engine) can be found for kids to meet and take photos with.
Fright Fest
During the month of October, the park gets transformed for its annual Halloween festival, Fright Fest. This transformation includes the addition of Halloween decorations to its Crackaxle Canyon, Main Street, and Rockville areas, making them Haunt Zones with roaming characters to give the areas the themes of a ghost town, a graveyard and an Area 51 complex, respectively. In addition several shows and attractions are added, including The Trick-o-Treat Trail for kids, Dead Legends Live on Main St., Haunting Illusions, Mayhem Mission, Wheel of Fright, and two "haunts." Dead Legends Live has all past singers together and parody their songs about being dead. "Haunting Illusions" is a magic show in the Rockville Gymnasium Theater featuring Illusionist David Garrity. The Wheel of Fright is a wheel and whatever you spin it to land on you have to eat or do. Such things to eat are cockroaches or worms. Prizes include season passes. The two haunts are called Wicked Woods and Midnight Mansion. Wicked Woods is in the picnic groves wooded area and it is a trail with people popping out at you and chasing you. Midnight Mansion takes place on the ride Houdini. They transform the whole ride building into a haunted mansion. In early 2009 Six Flags New England received an award within the chain for the best Fright Fest of 2008.
