Sorry for bring up such an old topic, but I like Boston Tea Party, Dodgemen, Matterhorn (Despiote it was running a weak program its just fun), Log Flume and don't kill me but Timbersplash Wet! I found more air on it than the Corkscrew . Corkscrew is a pain in the head and . Also, I didn't ride that many rides at canobie (7). I'm going in June or July and might ride Starblaster and the Yankee Cannoball!

Yankee Cannonball, by miles.

 

I also like Mine Of Lost Souls... Not too many parks with a dark ride like that anymore. I also like the whole side of the park with the log flume, waterslide, etc., nicely wooded.

 

I'm heading down there this summer when they install their Huss frisbee.

I love Huss stuff.

Me likey Turkish Twist. I remember going to Canobie this one particular time when I was a kid,,,my cousins and I just kept getting back in line for it. We could've ridden it as many as forty or fifty times that day.

1. Yankee Cannonball. Powerful (and at times painful) airtime on this simple little ride.

 

2. Mine of Lost Souls. Yes, the varied theming is odd, but this dark ride seems unusually long, complex and well-developed for such a modest park.

 

Some other notable rides:

 

I'm grateful the park preserved their Caterpillar. Tame but charming.

 

Starblaster had an excellent pop of airtime.

 

Untamed has the typical great Eurofighter first drop, but it's otherwise quite tame and can be painful.

 

Turkish Twist is probably the second best Rotor I've ridden. They're always fun to check out.

Favorite ride is almost definitely Yankee Cannonball. It is one of the few rides there that I feel is worth a re-ride when there is a line (Untamed is only worth re-riding if the wait is 5 minutes or less). For non-coaster rides, my favorite track ride is the Antique Cars and my favorite flats are Star Blaster and Turkish Twist (really hard to say which I liked better). Honorable mention goes to the Caterpillar, as it was a neat ride, just not that exciting. For whatever reason, I didn't really care much for rides a lot of other people liked (Boston Tea Party and Mine of Lost Souls primarily), and I found the Psycho Drome very underwhelming.

Yankee Cannonball, although I give major props to the landscaping around Untamed....the wood carvings of the bears and concept within the station was top notch. I am not really into flowers but they and their colors were really well done in my opinion.

I really enjoyed Untamed! It's not a top 20 and there is a bit of head bang, but i thought it was a really fun ride. On that note, I did like Yankee Cannonball a little better, but I did not go into Canobie Lake Park expecting it to be a thrill park, and I think that made my experience much more enjoyable. I think the biggest surprise of my visit was Starblaster. I just thought it'd be a mini-version of Scream at SFNE, but the airtime on that second shot was incredibly powerful! Psycho-dome was interesting and I think it was faster than most scramblers, but it is a bit overrated. And while i didn't actually ride the Boston Tea Party, the splash that it makes is impressive considering its size. All in all, I think Starblaster is my favorite ride there, but with the park's brilliant atmosphere, I think that the synergy between all the rides is absolutely perfect.
