APPEARANCE: I really like Screams location in the center of the park as the ride looks great and intimidating, along with the fact that it provides great views from the top. The ride itself looks very clean and the entrance looks nice and really fits in with the area of the park.
WAIT TIME: 40 minutes- This is an average since I see lines range from 20-60 minutes throughout the day. However, my advice is to use the single riders line since it is far quicker than the regular line and Six Flags sometimes even lets you ride with your group even if the single riders line is used.
SPACE SHOT: I will break the ride section into the two different cycles I have experienced. The launch was sudden and had some decent Gs at the bottom, but it really slowed down by the time it reached the top it lost a lot of speed. Still, there was some decent floater air at the top along with a good view. The drop isnt overly forceful though and rather weak.
COMBO MODE: This is far superior to space shot mode and what I have seen Six Flags run the most. It begins with a space shot mode identical to the one I described above, but then it slowly ascends to the top beginning the turbo drop mode. The drop was suspenseful and excellent. The drop provided great air and a very good stomach dropping sensation.
FINAL VERDICT: Scream is my favorite drop tower thanks to the combo mode that is run most often. The intensity of this tower is unmatched by others Ive been on and the views are great as I mentioned. This is my favorite non-coaster at Six Flags New England.
