Calvin Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I don't get what all the fuss is about Frisbees. I rode one at SFMW and it was pretty dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 This makes me want to just ride Revolution sooo badly at SFGAm... why does it have to be closed?!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrceagle Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 i personally like the rides and find the ride Unique as far as ride sensation goes. far better then the skaters and disco's. But on the ride setting and ride Cycle the Ride can be very thrilling. As for Revolution i can't say much I've never been on it. you could always after it's open Fly into Manchester , NH Airport and Drive down toe Canobie.

mrceagle Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 The ride will not be ready for the end of the season. They are still waiting on 4 representatives from Huss to help put the ride together. They do hope to have it together by the end of the operating year but they will not run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray! 2 rides. The new Frisbee and a replacement for the Matterhorn ride. The only way it will be 3 is if they opt to but 2 family rides to take the place of the Matterhorn over 1 thrill ride. Vekoma Fan Boy - then I guess you went 2 days before me. You lucked out. Saturday was totally swamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 What's replacing the matterhorn? I guess I'm going to wait to visit the park next year. I was mainly going to go for a "pin pickup" but hopefully they'll be in the gift shops next year. I HEART the Mine of Lost Souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the Frisbee isn't going to be open this your really isn't much of a reason to not go at all. as for the matterhorn replacement they don't know yet. they will Look for a replacement During this winters IAAPA event.

megamatt Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Its not been confirmed yet but I have pictures! A Zamperela Kangaroo is coming to Canobie Lake Park in Salem New Hampshire. It is a more family oriented "Bouncy Bouncy" like the one at the Crazy Spanish Fair. It is taking the place of Autobahn. On to the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vffreak07 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well now that I found my magnifying glass, I can say it looks like a nice little addition to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megamatt Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Another picture. OTSR's FTL! (for the lose) Anyway, It looks like a nice more family oriented Satori Techno Bounce. Canobie Seems to be turing into Zamp's testing grounds. The worlds first protype Skater and now a prototype Kangaroo. EDIT-Sorry i just realised I double posted.

megamatt Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Here is a video of it from Zamperla. Note that the one at Canobie Lake is floorless and not themed. kang_a_bounce.wmv A video of a similar ride in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em-Z Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 There's a themed one like in that video at Wild Waves, it's quite fun for a kid ride! They have it on a more intense setting than in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) http://www.eagletribune.com/newhampshire/x1535825474/Coaster-fans-Canobie-Lake-Park-eyes-a-new-one SALEM — Put your hands up, planners, it's roller coaster time. Canobie Lake Park is in the planning stages of adding a new roller coaster, but it needs the town's permission to move forward. "The type of ride is exciting and I think it will be a good addition," park spokesman Chris Nicoli said yesterday. A hearing about the park's coaster plan is on the agenda for next week's Planning Board meeting. Planning Director Ross Moldoff, who typically deals with requests for subdivisions and sign permits, said roller coasters are a nice change of pace. "It's one of the fun parts of the job, actually, when Canobie Lake Park comes in for a new ride," he said. Moldoff said plans submitted to the town show the roller coaster located near the Canobie Mall, in what is now a grassy area. "It's not a large roller coaster. It's nowhere near the size of the Yankee Cannonball," Moldoff said, referring to the park's famous wooden coaster, which would remain Canobie's largest. Still, it looks like the new ride might pack a punch. It' a Compact Euro-Fighter coaster, made by Gerstlauer Amusement Rides, a German design company. The coaster starts out with a 97-degree drop, and then can be customized to include loops, over-banked curves, zero-G humps and other "thrill elements," according to the company's website. Nicoli said the new coaster was still in "the planning phase." "I think this is a good step for us and we're excited," he said. At the close of every season, park visitors start thinking about what new items they'd like to see next year, he said. "Everybody, every year, kind of always says, 'What do you have new?'" Nicoli said. "It's almost assumed that amusement parks need to have something new." And those people are almost always hoping to see a new roller coaster. "I think everyone asks all the time," he said. "Even if we had many of them, they'd still want more." Moldoff said the park has done a noise study and traffic study — and Planning Board members will get to see the coaster in action. "They have a video of the ride that they're going to be showing at the Planning Board meeting," he said. Moldoff said the noise study and video were taken from a similar version of the ride at an amusement park in the Netherlands. "It ends up being a particularly quiet ride," he said. He said the coaster is slated to be about 75 feet tall, just under the town's 80-foot limit. The addition of the ride to the park is on the agenda for the Planning Board meeting Tuesday. This is great news for the park and its exactly what they need. I'm glad to see more parks in the US getting euro fighters!

technfxrick Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Man, it seems that most of the Parks on the North East trip are getting new coasters next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Man, it seems that most of the Parks on the North East trip are getting new coasters next year. I doubt you will see this for the begining of the 2011 season if the park is only in the planning stages, but I've been surprised in the past.
