Six Flags New England
Agawam, MA
Opening Day 2007

Six Flags New England has made many changes for this season and we were there to document the changes.  Here are some photos that will show you just how much has changed for this season.  Another change that was noticed and not included here in the pictures are new signs that are all over the place that remind guests about the park rules, where smoking is allowed and prohibited, that it is no longer appropriate to wear bathing suits and bikini tops in the park other than in the Hurricane Harbor area, and line jumping is not tolerated.  It was also noted that a new shade tent was added over the Batman queue area and the magic show at the Rockville High School Gymnasium is being replaced by the Amazing Acrobats of China.

The one thing I really wish they would stress more at this park (maybe some more signs) is the parks ABSOLUTE NO REFUND policy - even if they close the park for most of the day after you pay to get in, because of bad weather.
