Halloween has hit theme parks across the country, but there are only a few weeks left before things go into hibernation for the winter. With zombies and werewolves lurking behind every corner, some coasters have become even scarier. We took a look around, and here’s what we found:

The leaves have started to change color in the Northeast, but there’s still a few weekends left to enjoy the summer season at Six Flags New England. Superman: Ride of Steel was always the park’s best coaster, but a couple years ago it got even better—and even scarier—as it transformed into Bizarro. It seems like pretty much every year Amusement Today picks this coaster as one of the best around, so you won’t be disappointed. ]]> kjb 2010-09-29T11:44:56-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/9/16/73117/0955

Fresh off winning the award for best steel coaster, Six Flags New England announced yesterday that Superman: Ride of Steel, will undergo some renovations in time for the 2009 season.

As riders travel twenty stories into the air, they'll now be treated to pockets of fog, bursts of fire and an all-new audio track as they fly along the track in just over three minutes. Trains will be totally renovated as well, but no word on if they'll modify the unique restraint system that leaves your upper body free to flail about.

Of course, all the excitement was ruined as the park also announced that the renovations would further help solidify its position as the ideal "daycation" destination in the area. With or without the "clever" marketing, the ride looks to be a must-see in 2009.
