Canobie Coaster Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Glad they're finding additional revenue sources. I ended up going to the Holiday in the Park Lights event last week. It felt sort of eerie walking around the park with all the rides sitting idle, but it was nice to see all the lights and the park had safety precautions upon safety precautions to make sure it could he done safely. I also made sure to get my Superman and Wicked Cyclone nanocoasters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sluggo77 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Took the drive over to the park Friday night to check out the drive-thru experience. Overall we enjoyed it. They had you enter from the employee lot going past Hurricane Harbor and under Batman. New decorations were added for this part and after making your way through the park you finally ended up wrapping around and exiting through Whistlestop Park into the preferred lot. Nice way to wrap up this crazy season. Looking forward to hopefully a much more normal operating season this coming year and still a lot of credit to SF’s for doing what they could this year.

Sluggo77 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Happy to see the SF's chain putting the park opening dates out there. Not sure if it was a leap of faith with SFNE since they weren't able to provide a firm date just yet. Crazy how Lake Compounce, practically just down the road, was even able to open last year since it's in Connecticut. Hopefully the Mass. Governor follows NY's lead with letting the park open for this season soon. Can't wait for some Superman and Wicked Cyclone rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yeah it would be great if SFNE could open up while I'm still in New England. I haven't been since 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did, after a few failed attempts (another IIRC the train got stuck at a random part) I went to SFNE next year, like a few days after Wicked Cyclone opened (was a weekday so I was solo) and I did get another ride on Goliath, somehow lol Not sure how many times you've been since but I've heard WC has slowed down/lost some of its oomph, which would be a damn shame that thing was an absolute beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Oh that’s right! The first visit was Cyclone closing day right where we planned to ride Cyclone a bunch at park close and then all decided we didn’t give a sh*t and rode Superman instead. Good times.

JJLehto Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Oof yeah....even for the history of it, that was a definite one and done.

Canobie Coaster Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Massachusetts announced they will move into Phase 4 Step 1 starting March 22. I believe theme parks are the step that follows. From March 22 onwards, the only other items closed along with theme parks will be ball pits, saunas/hot tubs, bars, and nightclubs. If the positive trends continue, hopefully Phase 4 Step 2 will start by the end of April, which should include theme parks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand how theme parks ever got lumped in with nightclubs in our reopening plan anyway. One of them involves hundreds of people packed into a small indoor space and one of them involves a limitable amount of people fully outdoors. Another way to look at it is ski areas have (thankfully) been fine (and very busy) but essentially the warm weather version of waiting in line, sitting in a chair, and flying around at various speeds is still a no no. I'm hopeful for mid spring also but I was hopeful for July last year and we're 7 months past that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary.pesik Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Why can't I go to this park again? I want to get that Batman TDK credit. Would skip The Riddler('s) Revenge, because the Great Nor'Easter at Morey's banged my head around IMO and I wouldn't want to go on another SLC. Goliath will be down, I just know it.

You haven't been on The Great Nor'easter since they replaced almost all of the track as well as the trains, have you? I rode it in 2019 and it was very smooth, especially for an SLC.

ice1972 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Well is this park gonna open next month or what? LFG..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Your guess is as good as anyone's. Amusement Parks aren't in MA's Phase 4 step A part 1 subpart a that takes effect on 3/22, so whenever their Governor decides to take his head out of his ass, they'll open. On the plus side, they did hire a bunch of people back in late February, so I guess that's good news? BTW I found this information after 2 minutes of Googling.

Canobie Coaster Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Since they aren't in Phase 4 Step 1, the earliest they can open is Phase 4 Step 2. Phase 4 Step 1 starts later this month. MA has said each step has to occur at least one month after the prior. They've announced reopening phases/steps a month in advance, so we should know a month in advance before the park is allowed to open. The earliest it can happen is the end of April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zand Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 With the Cali parks announcing their opening days recently, I believe SFNE is the final park yet to announce an opening day. And, naturally, there isn't even a date where their phase of reopening might happen. Thankfully things finally seem to be moving a bit quicker on Beacon Hill so I think late April is possible and almost definitely by Memorial Day.

Sluggo77 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I'm hoping that like SFMM once they do get the green light that opening day will be pretty quick from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
