To launch the 2009 season on April 10, guests who dress like Mr. Six - from his signature glasses and red bow tie to his bald head and black suit - will be able to purchase a ticket for just $6 on opening day. Additionally, there will be a Mr. Six Look-A-Like and Dance Contest where Mr. Six himself will rate contestants and prizes will be awarded to guests who receive the ultimate 'Six Flags' rating in each category.
As part of this season long celebration, Six Flags New England will offer a lineup of new shows and attractions that provide top-tier entertainment as well as guest benefits that ensure a value-packed experience for the entire family. Some of the major headlines this season include:
- BIZARRO - Six Flags New England is turning up the heat with the transformation of Superman: Ride of Steel - voted the #1 rated steel coaster on the planet - to BIZARRO. The adventure will begin as guests climb aboard the newly-designed BIZARRO coaster cars which feature custom built audio in each headrest. After a menacing climb, riders plunge 221 feet into the first of two fog-filled tunnels that will launch guests into BIZARRO's mysterious world. Throughout the 3 1/2 minute journey, riders will fly 77 miles-per-hour through high bank twists and turns while soaring through bizarre building structures and sprinting through open-aired 'S' shields. The thrills will continue as the train enters a spaghetti bowl of twists and turns that trigger fiery flame effects timed perfectly with the heart-pumping audio. The journey will cap off with a second plunge into a tunnel of multi-sensory effects before returning to the station house and back to Earth. BIZARRO opens Memorial Day weekend.
