Bizarro, Hypercoaster at Six Flags New England, Massachusetts, United States
Bizarro is a steel hypercoaster at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts, built by Intamin. Its 5,400-foot (about 1,650 m) track begins with a 208-foot (63 m) chain lift hill beside the Connecticut River, then drops 221 feet (67 m) into a fogged tunnel, reaching 77 mph (124 km/h). The layout continues over a 120-degree overbanked turn, cutouts of buildings, two helixes and three bunny hills before returning to the station.
The coaster opened in 2000 and was later renamed after a character from the DC Comics universe. A redesign in 2009 added fog effects and new structures along the route.
The name Bizarro comes from the DC Comics character conceived as Superman's opposite, and the 2009 re-theme built on that inversion: the track was painted purple with dark blue supports, trains carried onboard audio, and riders passed through rings shaped like Bizarro's S shield. The fire effects were later moved to New Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas.
Visitors need to store their personal items in lockers before boarding, as nothing loose can remain with riders during the run. The coaster operates during the warmer months when the park is open.
The track runs through several tunnel sections filled with thick fog that limits what riders can see ahead. Colorful structures stand along the route and combine with the fog to create shifting impressions during the ride.
