Pandemonium (originally titled Mr. Six’s Pandemonium in its first year) is a steel spinning roller coaster located at Six Flags New England. Its design consists of six cars holding four riders each. While the cars traverse the track, they spin around according to the angle of the track and the shifts in the riders’ weight.

[edit] Layout

The layout consists of several "segments" separated by brakes. The first segment comprises a swooping drop and climb into the second segment, which is a series of S-shaped turns. The third segment is a heavily banked figure-8; the fourth is a series of hills that form a semicircle; the fifth is a pair of small hills; and the sixth is a helix into the brake-run.
