The Quantum Accelerator Opens After Long-Awaited Delay

WWLP reports that the Quantum Accelerator roller coaster at Six Flags is set to open to visitors on Friday, April 17, 2026. It is notable for being New England’s first dual-launch straddle coaster. It will include two dynamic launches and will attain speeds of up to 45 miles per hour.

The ride includes 11 moments of airtime along with quick twists and turns. It starts with a launch from the station that propels riders to 30 miles per hour, followed by a second burst mid-trip that boosts speed to 45 miles per hour for the final segment. Riders must be between 48 and 77 inches tall to participate.

Season pass holders gained entry to the Quantum Accelerator starting last Saturday.
