Tallest coaster in the state... lolz @ LC giving a shout out to the newest Kennywood owned park... Storyland in NH. My friend Steph came down with me after the park was 'on' some tv show she likes...

Only looping coaster in CT. Free soda.... (Yeah. HW isnt the only park that can do it ) It was hot.. So we did use the waterpark for a bit. The 'best' slide in the park.. "Lights Out" Oh.. And you can swim in the lake.. Lake Compounce. Fish... Yeah so.. Dash got a lot of trackwork this year... And is running almost as good as it was in 2000... yay More parks need trolleys Mmm..

EastCoastn07 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 This is like porn for Dan G / EastCoastn Sad, but true...It's just too bad Kennywood can't get both sides of our Swing working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyscraper Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Awesome Trip report Canobie fan ! I can't wait to go for the first time this sunday evening ! Boulder dash is running almost as good at the opening ? That's great news ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Remember that TV show back in the 90's with this ride.... Ah, thank-you, I had been trying to think of which ride it was, for some reason I thought it was Blizzard River at SFKK. You learn something new every day, haha.

Canobie Fan Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Boulder dash is running almost as good at the opening ? That's great news ! Dood.. Dash is SOOO good this year... Much better than it was the 2 times I rode it last year.... But stay in the front.. The back cars are still 'rough'.. With not as good airtime.. Dash always has been a front seat ride... And still is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I road Boulder Dash last season and it was fun, but the potholes were nasty. Looks like I've got to finagle a visit to LC this season to see what it's really about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 The cow looks seriously stoned--but Boulder Dash looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningstroller Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Nice TR. Love the retro looking Storyland billboard. I was at Kennywood a few weeks ago and they had all the KW Entertainment parks painted along the entry tunnel; I wonder when Storyland will be added.

asr Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Nice TR, Lake Compounce looks like a nice little park. Also, isn't SFNE's Batman: The Dark Knight technically in Connecticut? If so, it would take away both of Zoomerang's already pointless records... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 I think the only part of SFNE that is in CT is parking lot.. On the nonpark side (way way back where tram stop 3 is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Z Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Great shots from the Ferris wheel, I never ride that thing. I rode BD earlier this year and still think the part before the on ride photo feels like the train is going over railroad tracks. It's smoother than the potholes last year , but that feeling is so odd and fun. It's great to see zoomer's finally open as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imbordisux Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 "TV Show from the 90's"? It looks vaguely familiar, but I can't think of it. Also a question about the Sally ride: When Monica and I were there last year, it seemed unfinished, like the first half was themed, and then the second half was just empty black rooms. Has it always been like that? Or was it maybe just that some of the lights weren't working, making it seem like there was nothing there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Sweet, i went here last year and indeed enjoyed this park alot, it's one of the better smaller parks with obviously an incredible woodie. Retracked sounds like an amazing thing, i did get rocked around last year but it's still my 4th fav woodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFNE Dude Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Is this seriously running as good as it was in 2000? I remember riding it in 2000 and being so blown away by everything. It was fast, extremely smooth, and had tons of airtime. Since then it's gradually gotten worse although still a great coaster. That's amazing news and if its true then I have to get down to Compounce ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Just stay in the front.. As you go back it gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 ^ But doesn't the back row give you a more intense ride , and is it very rough or just a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 No. Not really.. Dash always has.. And it does have more air in the front seat than in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
