I recently had a chance to ride the new Harley Quinn Spinsanity at Six Flags New England. You might think that it looks pretty tame compared to some of the other rides at the park, but this is definitely a thrill ride. I'm a huge thrill ride fanatic, so I loved it. If you like fast and high, you will love this ride! It really is like nothing else I've ridden before. My son and I were laughing hysterically as we got off the ride because it was so fun!
As I get older I find that I can't handle spinning rides as well as I used to and get very dizzy on some rides. So with the name Spinsanity, I was very surprised to find that I didn't get dizzy on this ride. It was great! It does spin but it wasn't enough to make me dizzy. What it does do is swing back and forth very fast. It is the second fastest ride in the park swinging at 70 mph just short of the 77 mph speed of the Superman Roller Coaster.
I was really amazed at how high it went. It swings up to 147 feet as you feel weightless. We were actually looking down on the Joker Roller Coaster!
You might also think just by looking at it from the ground that it does not go upside down. It is true that the pendulum never does go all the way over, but I noticed at one point my view of the park was upside down. It didn't really feel like we were upside down, but if you get on the right side of the spin at the right moment, you are actually high enough to be upside down for a brief moment.
Harley Quinn Spinsanity, now open, is a great new addition to the Gotham City section of the park that also includes Batman, the Joker, and Riddler's Revenge. Check it out if you are looking for a new thrill! |
I was given tickets to the park to try out Spinsanity, but all opinions are my own.
