Six Flags New England To Add New Roller Coaster In 2017

AGAWAM (CBS) – Good news for thrill-seekers -- there's a new roller coaster coming to Six Flags New England next year.

The park announced that its 13th coaster will be called The Joker: 4D Free Fly Coaster. Named after the notorious Batman villain, The Joker features a 120-foot tall hill and will flip riders backward and forward regardless of which way the coaster is going.

Six Flags also says riders will get to "face their fears" by physically looking at each other while tumbling weightless. The attraction promises to offer a different sensation for each ride.
