I have been going to Canobie since I was a baby and I have never seen it as crowded as it was yesterday. The line for every ride went beyond its cue. You had to wait anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour for everything including all flats. Things like the Blue Heron and the Canobie Express were no exceptions. The Blue Heron's line was always 2-3 boatloads deep. The line for the Corkscrew went past the train tracks. Even rides that are usually just a walk on had 20 minute waits. Actually nothing was a walk on. The parks popularity has suddenly skyrocketed.
On a different note the best deal in the park is still the rib dinner at the Dancing Bear Canteen. You get a full rack plus fries and coleslaw for $19.95. It has enough food for 2 people to share.
