  1. Has anyone heard anything about what new thing will be at the park this season? i.e. what will be replacing Equinox?
  2. As much as I will miss the Cyclone I am head over heals excited about its replacement "Wicked Cyclone" I can't wait to ride it.
  3. The video was awesome! I loved it! Recommendations for your next 2 installments: 1. Your favorite rides 2. Your most hated rides.
  4. Wow! That looks so awesome! I hope CGA or SFDS pick it up. My life would be complete if I got to ride it.
  5. 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.
  6. I will be in the park on 8/17 for my yearly visit. I have been going to the park since I was baby. Is anyone else going to be there that day?
  7. Canobie Lake Park just put a Tango in their park. They named it Equinox. I heard that the seats are very uncomfortable. Would you agree?
  8. When I saw that e-mail I laughed to myself and thought how ironic.
  9. Vortex at CGA. It lacks excitement. It is really slow and a real headbanger. Last time I rode it, it made my neck sore.
  10. More wet is good, especially on those hot and humid summer afternoons!
  11. Thank you. Did they change the height or is it the same?
  12. Does anyone know what what they changed on the Policy Pond Log Flume?
  13. Ya...I agree 100%. Look at how long it took to get rid of that lemon, Avalanche Run/Disaster Transport. The only reason they removed it was for space reasons and to put something better in it's place. ...I think people who only know Cedar Fair from their experience with CGA judge it because they removed Invertigo. We all know 2 things led to that ride's removal; the aftermath of the nationally publicized ride being stuck incident left the ride unmarketable here, and the impending sale pushed by Dick Kinzel where they felt it was the one ride they should keep for themselves at another park. Cedar Fair didn't remove anything for Goldstriker, Firefall, or any the wave pool expansion. Paramount and Kings are the bastard companies guilty of removing everything cool; Stealth, the train, the trolley, triple wheel, the edge (okay, that one I don't miss), triple play, whizzer, yankee clipper, the lobster, skyhawk, the tidal wave (and not to mention every ounce of theming that existed at the park.) They had a weird concept that you had to operate with minimal attractions to keep costs down...no "you built it, they will come" initiative like you see at Cedar Fair Parks. That is probably why Paramount is no longer in the theme park industry.
  14. I don't no how you stayed on Vortex so long. For me being only 5'3", my head falls right in the middle of the resraints. After 3 rounds I had a headache and my ears were sore. Enough so I had to stop for my own well being. So I applaud your success. Well done!
  15. My favorite flat ride is the Turkish Twist at Canobie Lake Park. It is a classic rotor ride. I find it quite thrilling when the floor drops about 2 feet below you, and your stuck against the wall without restraints, held there by nothing other than centrifugal force.
  16. If CGA continues in its trend with adding coasters just to move them to another park then we better not get to used to Gold Striker because it will end up who knows where in a couple of years from now.
  17. The last time I was there prior to this past Sunday was back when it was still owned by Paramount. I was surprised to see that they removed Invertigo in favor of a patch of grass. It does not make sense to me that a Park would want to remove a really awesome coaster and not replace it with something better. Or even replace it with anything.
  18. Vortex is actually not a very good coaster. It is quite slow and it is a head banger. I had to get off after 3 rides during cfk because I had a headache from banging my head on the restraints constantly. I would recommend skipping this ride especially if there is a line.
  19. I am really looking forward to this as it will be my first TPR event.
  20. I rode Gold Striker during coasting for kids. It is an amazing ride. It is so fast you lose track of where you are. It has some serious airtime. I would highly recommend it.
