Canobie Coaster Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 In early 2019, Scandia Ontario closed their doors forever. The small park had some awesome mini golf courses, a few carnival rides, and most notably the Scandia Screamer, a giant Miler coaster with some frightening airtime and aggressive turns. The ride was sale for a few years, but it finally found a new home. Traders Village in Grand Prarie, Texas will be opening the Prairie Screamer this fall. Link to Traders Village SCREAMING INTO TRADERS VILLAGE FALL 2021, PRAIRIE SCREAMER, a family-oriented roller coaster that will be popular with all ages! • Drop 80 feet • Speed 50 mph • Duration 1:56 • 2 Trains with 10 riders per train Until this announcement was made, I honestly had never heard of Traders Village. But this place is less than 5 miles from Six Flags Over Texas and while it's mostly a flea market, it has a decent flat ride lineup, including a Larson drop tower. And rides cost just $3 a piece or $14 for an unlimited wristband. I will be sure to check this place out once the Screamer reopens because that coaster really surprised me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yes! Scandia Screamer looked absolutely awesome, so glad to see I could be able to ride it one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalJasonland Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I wonder if it received the full $950,000 that was requested? A warm climate will be good for it as it required a full train to dispatch in cold weather. At least at Scandia it operated that way. It also sounds like they ordered at least one new train as Scandia just had one last barely working train when it closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Definitely some intriguing news. Glad to see someone pick this ride up and I'll definitely make some time for it the next time I'm in the Dallas area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hmm, Dallas, you say? That's a lot easier to get to than LA is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Putting this coaster at a flea market scares me even more than riding it at a Californian FEC!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
