New England SkyScreamer is a tower swing ride in the North End of Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts. Riders sit in swings hung from a ring that climbs a tall tower and rotates, and the park says the ride carries them about 400 feet above the park. It was built by Funtime. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall, or 44 inches with a companion.
History
The ride opened in 2014 on the site of Taz's Daredevil Dive, a Skycoaster that had operated at the park since 1992 and was removed after the 2013 season. According to Wikipedia, New England SkyScreamer was the tallest swing ride in the world when it opened, a title it held until the Orlando StarFlyer opened in 2018.
