Or they could just embrace it and rename Predator the Ride of Wood. -

^ Hades 360 and Clementon's Hellcat also have warnings that the rides are running aggressive. -
La Ronde Discussion Thread
Canobie Coaster replied to Skyscraper's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
One big thing to watch out for with La Ronde is how long it takes to get in the park. It took me a half hour to navigate from the bridge to the island with the park and then 1.5 hours (yes you read that right) waiting in line to get in. If the back entrance is open, I highly recommend that if the front one is a total madhouse. -
Our 2017 Mega Coaster trip report.
Canobie Coaster replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Great report! With a trip to Silver Dollar City likely happening in a year or two, I'll be sure to stop at Worlds of Fun. Always glad to see a rotor still standing. -
With the location of the clearing and survey markers, a water park expansion makes too much sense for the park's long term success. A mini woody like Roar-o-saurus or Wooden Warrior would be great since they're relatively cheap and amazing rides. If they wanted unique, they could add a barrel roll like Mine Blower but that would remove the family aspect.

Worst Ride Name
Canobie Coaster replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The extra puzzling thing is dropping the possessive is a recent thing with Six Flags. SFMM's stand-up is Riddler's Revenge while SFOT calls their frisbee Riddler Revenge. SFNE calls their coaster Catwoman's Whip while SFOT calls the endeavor Catwoman Whip. And the employees at SFOT even add the possessive which shows how awkward not having that apostrophe s is. -

The golden part is the thing that gets me. For whatever reason, I just think of golden shower (I play a lot of Cards Against Humanity). -
I think the next coaster should probably be of the family variety. After the Dragon kiddie coaster, the next tamest coaster is Yankee Cannonball. I think they could use something to bridge the gap like maybe one of those Mack spinners. My pipe dream is Kanonen since it's just below the height limit and would have a unique layout for a ride in the area. I'd say that's a very fair assessment of Yankee Cannonball. It's super reridable, but the airtime can vary wildly. I have gotten rides where I've come out of my seat on every hill, but that hasn't happened in 4-5 years at this point. Then again I have also had some slower rides where I can hardly get any air.

A giant frisbee would help the park's flat ride lineup significantly. Please start adding rides to the Old Country area. That area was so spooky to walkthrough last year at Holiday in the Park, especially when a Six Flags security guard pops up from behind and interrogates you why anyone would want to take a picture of the old observatory from the Chiller ride.

This looks absolutely amazing! Not that I needed another reason to visit SFFT since it's now my favorite Six Flags park, but this may make me return even sooner than I anticipated. The first drop looks bonkers. Not sure if it will beat Iron Rattler, but the fact that I'm even thinking that says a lot. The layout definitely seems clonable so I wonder if we'll see it at another Six Flags park next year or in the following years. I know I thought the same about Goliath, but Great America is still the only park with that exact layout. The capacity does seem a bit worrisome. 8 riders on what will be marketed as a premier attraction seems very low. Then again, Six Flags has been able to keep the lines manageable on the free spins so with the right crew I think they can keep the line palatable. I'm guessing it will still be at least an hour on most days though.

^ Unfortunately the cycle before you always has a ton of screaming and you'll often have someone come off greener than the Hulk. Plus they also have the observation deck next to the queue. Best of luck getting her on, but it'll be hard if she hates spinning rides. Obviously Disney is going to do a better job with a coaster, but for a smaller park Untamed's theming is unbelievable. The park's overall charm is where Canobie shines. I think one more great coaster will really put the place more on the map with enthusiasts and make it a must when they go to SFNE.
