Six Flags New England Debuts 'Wicked Cyclone' Hybrid Roller Coaster
AGAWAM (CBS) -- A new roller coaster at Six Flags is promising a "wicked" ride for thrill-seekers.
Six Flags New England's newest roller coaster "Wicked Cyclone" is now open.
The amusement park says this Mother Nature-themed ride is made of both steel and wood, making it one of only five "hybrid" coasters in the world.
Six Flags claims there are several points where a rider will feel weightless.
It features a 78-degree drop at 55 mph, and climbs 10 stories into the air.
The park let meteorology students from Western Connecticut State University take the first ride.
