Been going to Canobie for 20 years myself. It's one of my favorites and always will be. The charm is what gets me, it's not in your face, it's not dirty, it's not doing too much, it's there and it's amazing. The Policy Pond Log Flume is BY FAR the greatest traditional log flume I've been on, I could ride that all damn day. Think a perfect family coaster would be a junior gravity group. Take a page out of Kentucky Kingdoms book. Put the station at Tall timber splash and have it go across the parking lot. Really love your dedication and effort put into this video.

It was neat being able to have a new batch of rides I was tall enough to go on each year. The day I hit the magical 48" mark was glorious.

Love that this park is still open. You can't even put a value on the nostalgia if you went here as a kid and can take your own. I grew up as a whalom park pass holder with the park 10 mins from mom's house. So seeing it close and watching condos overtake your memories and never being able to take my kids is heart breaking. I remember the mine log ride at canobie as a young child while my grandparents were visiting though, so I cant wait to take my 3 yr old daughter on it and just feel the generational nostalgia!

This is my home park too and I love living so close to it. For reasons of zoning and space, it can't have huge thrill rides. But it's just such a nice place. The single-rider line for Untamed is the park's best secret. I love the pinball parlor too--today, it's the single best publicly accessible collection of pinballs in New England, beating Funspot (which is, however, the place for classic arcade videogames). There was once a better one: Pinball Wizard in Pelham, NH. But it closed down a few years ago, and Canobie has stepped up its pinball game, perhaps in response. Back when most of the pinballs were at the Palace Arcade on the midway, it seemed like they were always broken. Now they take better care of them, and while they won't all be in perfect working order, at least they'll tape over the coin slots of the non-working ones.

I even worked at Canobie one summer as a technician in the entertainment dept, and it was I think the last summer they had Equinox.

Weak coaster lineup, long lines, aggressive pricing.... but, you invested the time to make a 26-minute video about this park, topping your 24-minute Cedar Point review, which is the gold standard of amusement park reviews. Based on that alone I'll give Canobie a shot. Looks friendly with pretty atmosphere and high-quality customers. Hoping it feels like Knoebels.

The pricing is better than it looks since it has free parking (and nearly all guests are going to arrive by car). The lines are not worse than at other parks in the region--the park has no skip-the-line passes, but that in itself means the standby lines move a bit faster than they do at Six Flags. Aside from the single-rider line on Untamed, my preferred way to deal with them is to go at lower-volume times. My absolute favorite used to be pre-season weekends in May (as long as it was NOT Mother's Day), but Canobie hasn't opened for most of that period in the post-COVID era. My second favorite is right now, the September post-season in between Labor Day and Screeemfest. The waterpark isn't open, but the weather is more temperate and the crowds are light.

@@CanobieCoaster, but not for Thrill rides? I was told it was better due to the Waterpark and cleanliness. My wants are Waterpark with Thrill rides I enjoy. Love Six Flags due to it's selection both water & otherwise. The foods awful & Waterpark isn't really clean enough walking through, but in the water or on rides it's been 100% adequate. But Canobie seems to be more of a nostalgic attraction? Am I right. I'm in Maine and it's so far!!!

Work there in late 80's and again in the late 90's as a maintenance mechanic. Shitty pay, long hours, no benefits and no time and a half after 40. And i miss it!!

It was the closest park I grew up by.

North Carolinian enthusiast here- I was lucky to have a work-related trip to Portland, Maine in August of 2019 and I used one day to spend the afternoon at Canobie Lake. What an absolute gem and beautiful park. I hope to return some day!

@@CanobieCoaster Yep! Untamed ended up being my first Gerstlauer and I was lucky enough to get a backseat ride on Yankee Cannonball.

A launch coaster would be a really good fit for Canobie. It would (without a doubt) be a big investment, but I think a Gerstlauer, S&S, or Premier would be great. It would be pretty compact and would be super low-to-the-ground. That would probably cause some abrupt airtime pops and have some very whippy elements. And if it had tunnels, it could have some really cool underground elements and sustained airtime. Imagine a zero-g roll variant that dives underground 🤤 also something like one of those abc rides gyroscope thingys would be nice. or maybe even a larson loop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and even some flats that go underground 🙂 but obviously a family coaster will be added first, so I'm going to say maybe a Zierer Tivoli

I'd love to see an Intamin hot racer. Looking at the one going to Luna Park, it's clear they can be compact and it works for their height restriction.

I know that park doesn't have a ton of land though, but if you want a new addition hard enough it can be done. See Indiana Beach or Grona Lund.

@@CanobieCoaster there just like indiana beach where they can clear out a bunch of their parking lot over there that never gets used, make a path and use some of the woods and old parking lits space back by jackrabbit for a bunch of rides

Since there's only five in the whole of New England, not a lot to choose from. but yes it comes down to compounce or canobie.

Considering that Canobie Lake Park has a strong relationship with Gerstlauer and they have a height limit, I could see both a Gerstlauer Family Shuttle Coaster and a Gerstlauer Sky Racer.
