New England SkyScreamer Topped Off!

That didn't take long!  Six Flags New England officially topped off the New England SkyScreamer today, adding to the top of the tower the giant gold star with six flags atop it.  The above shot is from earlier in the week when the final section, which has the Six Flags lettering on it, was added.

I'm guessing the person at the park realized they weren't able to get the whole tower in a shot, even after turning the camera sideways!  While the park is still holding out on an official number, the final height is expected to be over 400 feet and enough to claim the record for the tallest swing ride on planet Earth - currently the Texas SkyScreamer at 402 feet and 10 inches.

Here is one last dizzying photo, showing the top of the tower in place and the tiny, tiny ground below it.  Just imagine the view when you're up there swinging around at 40 miles per hour!
