The Caterpillar ride is a vintage flat ride engineered by the inventor Hyla F. Maynes of North Tonawanda, New York, who dubbed it the Caterpillar when it debuted in Coney Island, New York in 1925.
Brilliant! Thank you for this information although a big part of me prefers Carpetbaggers description of "a ride for people who don't like scenery" 🤣 it's such a delightful ride 💖
Man, I thought that was bs, but they literally just filmed in front of the canobie corkscrew (not featured) and nothing else. How bizarre. It appears that the marketing firm the company hired was Boston based. They must have simply looked up the most intimidating coaster in the area, with the best filming angle and decided to film there.
"What is a Psychodrome?" Everyone in northern New England grins evilly, knowing exactly what you're in for. Funtown in Saco, Maine, used to have the same ride, called the Stratosphere, except that one featured deafening heavy metal music and random terrifying images projected onto the inside of the dome, along with the flashing lights. (Chicken being beheaded, anyone?) Those rides are an experience, for sure.
This was my hometown amusement park. My class went there every year before the last day of school. You basically went on every ride that I was afraid of going on when I was a kind, sans the corkscrew. Thank you for this blast from the past!
I love that you are in NH & that you actually went to & featured Canobie Lake Park. I go to Canobie Lake Park at least once every summer. Soon they'll be transferring over to Halloween there too. It's called Screamfest as you saw & it's amazing. I could be wrong, but I think Labor Day weekend is actually the last weekend that Canobie Lake Park is open for the summer. I think once they close after this weekend, that's when they start to transfer over for Screamfest which actually opens just in a couple of weeks.
@@spookymummabaker9678 Oh awesome! Thank you for letting me know! That me & my husband's wedding anniversary! I think I know how we're going to spend our anniversary this year. Best part is we have relatives who live 5 minutes away from Canobie Lake, so we'll probably stay with them that night so we don't have to drive home to Boston once the park closes for the night.
That Dark Ride looks awesome (The Egyptian Tomb bit is quite random, but so cool), also the Caterpillar ride is rather distinct. Finally loved the reactions to Turkish Twist, Psycho Drome, Untamed, and Yankee Cannonball!!!
Whalom park in Lunenburg Massachusetts was like that it was a trolley park . it was the Third oldest amusement park it opened in 1893 and now it’s condos😡😡
I’ve lived at lake Whalom for nearly my entire life. I’m 57 now, and long gone are the days of the traffic jam on Rt 13, the smell of charcoal emanating from the pine groves, the constant train whistling, and of course the screams from the flier comet roller coaster
Yay you’re up my way! I always went there every summer with my camp as a kid. It’s amazing how much it has expanded and changed in just the past few years! If they are doing it this year, you should go in October for the haunted house!
I went to Canobie many times as a child and I went on school trips there at the end of every year. After high school I worked there one summer in the Kiddie Land area as my first job . The Turkish Twist is one of my fave rides. Kids use to try and stand upside down or in cool poses but operators make you stand straight these days . if you stand on the bridge of the Boston Tea Party and get splashed you will be soaked for the rest of the day and on a hot day it’s a relief and you will dry quickly .There is slight scent of molasses piped in the Boston Tea Party area to reference The Great Molasses Flood . The Yankee Cannon Ball was my first big rollercoaster as a kid. I’m so glad to see this and relive childhood memories even thought I’m late . I’m gonna try to go again this summer !
Jacob, in the Mine of Lost Souls, at the very end when the guy says “you thought you were safe, think again”, there used to be water that rushed down that trough to the right making you feel like it was going to pour on you
I miss some of the features of Canobie that don’t work/run anymore. I also remember right after Michael Jackson passed, they had a huge MJ statue at the front of the park. My whole family took photos posing with it that summer. So many good memories at this park.
I never laughed as hard at any of your videos as you on the Psycho Drome! 😄😄😄 That was awesome, Jacob! I'm a proud patreon supporter and you never disappoint! 💯😄👍🏼
I haven't been to Canobie in forever. The Lost Souls is my favorite haunted house of all time. Good to know that the Turkish Twist is still there. I might have to take a trip out sometime this summer.
When I was a child we went to Belle Vue amusement park near Manchester England . They had a caterpillar ride and I was sick as a dog 😂😂. Oh and hello from northern England xx
My parents took me and my brother here when I was really little. I remember us calling it "Canopy Lake Park and Sale" because that's what my brother and I thought the commercial said.
Hey there Carpet bagger ! So i went to the mine of lost souls last week 08/31/21 and i went on youtube last week and searched to see if you came here and you didnt. Today i see that you just came over to my neck of the woods to ride my beloved mine of lost souls. its a great ride, i love how the bolders just scare the crap out of you and the ghosts are just pretty chill. Ive been a resident of MA and have been riding this dark ride my whole life. Thank you for coming to visit and documenting this WONDERUS occasion :] . This seriously has made my day. I think this may be the best ride in New England. thank you again
Please please please come back for screamfest!!!!!! There’s many different haunts with different themes, I’ll actually be working there this year with my friends who are avid watchers of yours! I think you would enjoy it!
when i was a kid i would ride that mine like five times in a row but the shooting gallery used to scare the heck outta me. that buzzard on the tree hehe
I haven’t been to Canobie Lake Park since I was a child! I remember the Caterpillar well! Oh yes, Scrambler in the Dark! That was a favorite too! 😂 it may have had a different name, back then, but glad it’s still there! ❤
The scrambler was always my favorite ride!!! Times in our country are so low right now so thank you for the much needed distraction. I feel a whole lot better 😁❤️😁❤️
Dammit. I work there every summer and had no idea Mr. Bagger had ever been there. The park used to be decorated with cube lights from the 1964 World's Fair but there's only one left. I'd have loved to show off where it was.
Thanks Jacob. When we used to live in Mass, my family would take me up their to Canobie Lake Park. In fact, I had my first date there with my late wife and her two boys. (I have one boy myself). Thanks again.
I grew up in NH and have been to Canobie Lake many times. We always pronounced it Can-O-Bee. I live in NC now and was back in NH this summer and heard an ad on the radio and they pronounced it the same way you did in the intro. I was shocked to hear the way they said it on the radio but then thought ok maybe we have been saying it wrong all these years. Thanks for the great video bringing back to the days of my childhood. Cheers.
YES this is my childhood theme park! And love the trolley park lesson - I had no idea 😲 I love seeing pics when the park was new and everyone was wearing gowns and suits 🥺👏🏻
Our favorite part of the theme park videos is watching him panick on the rides and be scared to death of the haunted houses. Did you see the one where the little girl asked him how old he is when he was screaming?
The Turkish Twist is just like a ride I used to ride at my hometown park World's of Fun, our version was called The Finishing Fling. I knew exactly what it was as soon as I seen it on your camera! Lol.
Fun fact: there actually used to be a Caterpillar ride in Idlewild in Pennsylvania. Was one of my favorites as a kid. Can't remember when they took it out but sadly it is no longer there. It was to the left of the Wild Mouse Coaster.
Hey that’s my states park! So awesome to have you in NH Carpet Bagger :)🤘🏻🌲 also the mine of lost souls is my all time favorite to go ride at the park ⛏💀
It's so rare anyone comes to NH I love when you're here! I went to Canobie once, it was very hot and a girl had heat stroke and fainted on my shoulder 😬 definitely a fun memory for it hahah
I recognized the caterpillar as soon as I saw the cover. Used to ride one at Idora Park in Youngstown, OH back in the day. The ride is best at night as the cover makes it pitch black inside. It's a make-out ride, once the cover is on, you go to fun town.
Excellent quality of props in Mine of Lost Souls. Actually, what a great park in general. Jacob, look up "Green Man" That's your guy made of vegetables.
Canobie lake park! I went there when I was a kid. Oh Gawd, the Turkish delight! I was up on the observation deck, and someone threw up in the spinning part. Lol
I have know idea how I missed this video in September but this place is on my list just for the dark ride.Their animatronics are insane and that is a long ride.Very cool.
Sidenote = I am so excited to see you made it there! I'm sure you had heard of it before, but I kept dropping comments about it in your live streams. It's just a Charming old park that they have maintained pretty well over the years. So cool that you were in the 603. Sorry to have missed you. So glad you enjoyed it. Knew they had a dark ride you'd be interested in. It's my hometown Park too like many people have said here. Dig it!
Hey Jacob that's 30 minutes away from me been going there my whole life. So happy that you finally made it wasn't it great! Much love from Lowell Massachusetts 😘
Sigh... memories, my Childhood was spent Here 3 Summers... but dang had a chance to run into THE Carpetbagger n never even knew he was up near Massachusetts, oh well hope you enjoyed your visit Jaccob!!!

Its also one of 2 left in operation
I know I have been on one of these as a kid. I think it would have been at Kennywood.
Man, I thought that was bs, but they literally just filmed in front of the canobie corkscrew (not featured) and nothing else. How bizarre.
It appears that the marketing firm the company hired was Boston based. They must have simply looked up the most intimidating coaster in the area, with the best filming angle and decided to film there.
the young dudes being so enthusiastic about an old coaster was awesome. love to see it.
That dark ride is like Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and The Mummy combined!
and long before that there was a huge spider and a pirate ship

Cavalier "that wasn't that bad" after screaming in terror. Lol classic
I thought that was hilarious!
Totally Carpetbagger 🤣🤣
The fried dough and giant popcorn bucket looked straight out of Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
One of the game trailers for roller coaster tycoon was filmed here, fun fact
And the one with the shark reminded me of the game too.
The commercial for that game was filmed at Canobie Lake Park, that could be why.
My hometown park! So glad you made it out there!
hello fellow NH resident
Well hello there! It's wicked cool that he came out to NH for Canobie Lake Park!
Amazing place!
One of my favorite animators and one of my favorite bloggers meld in one place!
Mine too usually go there for Screamfest
Those kids on the roller coaster were hysterical...
couple of bros lol , made me laugh
Hey Jacob! Thanks for coming to visit my home! Was a pleasure meeting you! - the antique autos guy
This was my hometown amusement park. My class went there every year before the last day of school. You basically went on every ride that I was afraid of going on when I was a kind, sans the corkscrew. Thank you for this blast from the past!
"A ride for people who don't like scenery." Best line EVER!
Jacob your reactions to the rides are more fun than the rides themselves lol Love your child-like enthusiasm :)
I love that you are in NH & that you actually went to & featured Canobie Lake Park.
I go to Canobie Lake Park at least once every summer.
Soon they'll be transferring over to Halloween there too. It's called Screamfest as you saw & it's amazing.

I asked them. Screemfest starts sept 25th!

I used to go ever summer when I was a kid. Love that place! 💗💗💗💗
This is where my husband and I had our first date. I love this park.
That Dark Ride looks awesome (The Egyptian Tomb bit is quite random, but so cool), also the Caterpillar ride is rather distinct. Finally loved the reactions to Turkish Twist, Psycho Drome, Untamed, and Yankee Cannonball!!!
My Wife was epileptic, and it makes me happy when I see people actually putting flashing light warnings before videos.
So glad you could visit our local amusement park! Great wooden coaster!
Whalom park in Lunenburg Massachusetts was like that it was a trolley park . it was the Third oldest amusement park it opened in 1893 and now it’s condos😡😡
Oh that sucks, seems like condos over take all the good areas
It should've stayed a trolley park! Way cooler than some boring condos!
I’ve lived at lake Whalom for nearly my entire life. I’m 57 now, and long gone are the days of the traffic jam on Rt 13, the smell of charcoal emanating from the pine groves, the constant train whistling, and of course the screams from the flier comet roller coaster
Thank you for going on all those terrifying rides for us!
I appreciate that he goes on rides that I wouldn’t be physically able to go on ( mobility issues).
Spent many hours here as a kid. Wonderful memories!
Really enjoyed this Jacob. Canobie was our home park
i loved this ride! went on it multiple times in one day at the park! lol
Drome is a suffix, means “ running course “ is in Hippodrome. (Greek chariot and horse racing course)
Yay you’re up my way! I always went there every summer with my camp as a kid. It’s amazing how much it has expanded and changed in just the past few years! If they are doing it this year, you should go in October for the haunted house!
I loved untamed
Same here! Haven't been to Canobie in like 9 years since they unveiled Untamed.
I went to Canobie many times as a child and I went on school trips there at the end of every year.
After high school I worked there one summer in the Kiddie Land area as my first job . The Turkish Twist is one of my fave rides. Kids use to try and stand upside down or in cool poses but operators make you stand straight these days . if you stand on the bridge of the Boston Tea Party and get splashed you will be soaked for the rest of the day and on a hot day it’s a relief and you will dry quickly .There is slight scent of molasses piped in the Boston Tea Party area to reference The Great Molasses Flood . The Yankee Cannon Ball was my first big rollercoaster as a kid. I’m so glad to see this and relive childhood memories even thought I’m late . I’m gonna try to go again this summer !
Finally in my neck of the woods!! I’ve asked for this video forever so glad you came!
Me too!!
So fun to see vlogs in all of my childhood parks recently - hope you're enjoying your time in the North!
You are the creator of bucket list. Love the older parks. Great job again Jacob !
I’m crying. Finally a video at my favorite place on earth. Wish I got to meet you! ❤️❤️❤️
Jacob’s Tombstone: “I don’t even know what a drome iiiiiiiiis. Oh Psycho Droooome!”
lol
I Google it and didn't find much
I love how he goes on rides he hates just so we can see what the ride is like. You're the best Jacob!
Jacob, in the Mine of Lost Souls, at the very end when the guy says “you thought you were safe, think again”, there used to be water that rushed down that trough to the right making you feel like it was going to pour on you

You make haunted houses and roller-coaster rides so much better to watch
I LOVE Canobie Lake!! I used to go on field trips here when I was a kid 💖😭💖
Those kids at the end remind me of my classmates! Man this whole video took me back!!
I haven't been to Canobie in forever. The Lost Souls is my favorite haunted house of all time. Good to know that the Turkish Twist is still there. I might have to take a trip out sometime this summer.
When I was a child we went to Belle Vue amusement park near Manchester England . They had a caterpillar ride and I was sick as a dog 😂😂. Oh and hello from northern England xx
Never heard of this place
I was just there with my daughter! Had a feeling you would be in the Northeast soon. Too bad we missed you. We love canobie.
Those food stands look straight out of Roller Coaster Tycoon, I love it
Looks like Fun. Great to see these parks being open!!!! THANKS
My parents took me and my brother here when I was really little. I remember us calling it "Canopy Lake Park and Sale" because that's what my brother and I thought the commercial said.
The two guys on the coaster were great. This was a great video. Thanks for the fun.
Thanks Jacob for the tortment of a rollercoaster you take for us. Greatings from Germany 👍🇺🇸🇩🇪
Heck yea , 10
Mins from my house ! So glad u went !!!
The Turkish twist has been a right of passage for teenagers in New England for the past 40 years... It's no joke
Hi Jacob! Yes chickens can fly a short distance and a drome is a large structure at an airport where aircraft can be stored and maintained
every summer growing up and school field trips, Love Canobie! Yes chickens can fly, somewhat, not like those though... so much fun! Thanks for sharing
Welcome to NH!! I love Canobie and have been going there for 30 years!!
Love it! Very old school. They had a caterpiller ride at old Norumbega Park in Newton, MA You made my day!!
This is one of my favorite parks. The ride that you called the chicken is actually a rooster. The Turkish twist is like a washing machine.
There's another caterpillar at Idewild Park in Ligonier PA
Hey there Carpet bagger ! So i went to the mine of lost souls last week 08/31/21 and i went on youtube last week and searched to see if you came here and you didnt.

this trip was vicious to you ride-wise haha, especially w the surprise/hidden carnival rides!
Please please please come back for screamfest!!!!!! There’s many different haunts with different themes, I’ll actually be working there this year with my friends who are avid watchers of yours! I think you would enjoy it!
Love the two lads at the roller coaster. Just super silly and fun dudes.
Yeah, I hope they find the video of themselves 😊
when i was a kid i would ride that mine like five times in a row but the shooting gallery used to scare the heck outta me. that buzzard on the tree hehe
Went here a few years back with my girls, I’m a huge dark ride fan so that was my favorite ride, beautiful clean park
I haven’t been to Canobie Lake Park since I was a child! I remember the Caterpillar well! Oh yes, Scrambler in the Dark! That was a favorite too! 😂 it may have had a different name, back then, but glad it’s still there! ❤
What a cool beautiful park! Loved the dark ride!

Never been there but looks like a nice little park to have a fun day at. That carousel and swing ride were both beautiful.
I always loved the caterpillar ride at the Clark County fair and the Ohio state fair many years ago!
This park looks like so much fun. So many unique rides and a really beautiful lake. I live so far away. But it's in my goals list to visit there
Thanks Jacob. When we used to live in Mass, my family would take me up their to Canobie Lake Park. In fact, I had my first date there with my late wife and her two boys. (I have one boy myself). Thanks again.
Great dark ride! We called the Turkish Twist "the hell hole".
Ive defintly searched your channel for this park before!!! Its the only one ive been to in the US. Soo happy to see this! Thank u!
Jacob with our favourite theme park history today! Love ya!
Thank you once again, Jake, for subjecting yourself to torture for our amusement. PSYCHO DROOOME!
I grew up in NH and have been to Canobie Lake many times. We always pronounced it Can-O-Bee.

YES this is my childhood theme park! And love the trolley park lesson - I had no idea 😲 I love seeing pics when the park was new and everyone was wearing gowns and suits 🥺👏🏻
Jake: "oh my gosh. I hate this"
Later in the video: proceeds to ride Untamed Rollercoaster and scream like a little girl 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Our favorite part of the theme park videos is watching him panick on the rides and be scared to death of the haunted houses. Did you see the one where the little girl asked him how old he is when he was screaming?

Hey that’s my states park! So awesome to have you in NH Carpet Bagger :)🤘🏻🌲 also the mine of lost souls is my all time favorite to go ride at the park ⛏💀
Wow, in New Hampshire. I went back in the very early 90's when I lived there. Cool place.
My home town park! We used to call it Cannibal lake park ! WOW it has changed a lot since I've been!
The popcorn stand that looks like a tub of popcorn looks good and this video is amazing this one is in the bag the incredible carpet bagger.
The caterpillar is an old amusement ride found at the trolley parks years ago. I grew up riding one at Kennywood park.
The caterpillar ride is super rare, and so fun!
Impressive rides here.... Especially Psycho Drome! Never found one like it before... Untamed was one wicked little coaster!
It's so rare anyone comes to NH I love when you're here! I went to Canobie once, it was very hot and a girl had heat stroke and fainted on my shoulder 😬 definitely a fun memory for it hahah
i can’t believe you’re there that’s my favorite amusement park!!!!
The Caterpillar is the ride that frighten me as a child!

You took the words outta my mouth, so to speak!! I thought it looked like a washing machine too!!
Excellent quality of props in Mine of Lost Souls. Actually, what a great park in general. Jacob, look up "Green Man" That's your guy made of vegetables.
Screams loudly in terror. Ride ends. Oh that wasn't that bad 😅🤣😅🤣🤣😅
Canobie lake park! I went there when I was a kid. Oh Gawd, the Turkish delight! I was up on the observation deck, and someone threw up in the spinning part. Lol
I have know idea how I missed this video in September but this place is on my list just for the dark ride.Their animatronics are insane and that is a long ride.Very cool.
Those two guys on the roller coaster towards the end of the video were great lol
My favourite park! Screeemfest is super fun and scary! We often go down to visit Canobie and Nightmare New England during haunt season!
Sidenote = I am so excited to see you made it there! I'm sure you had heard of it before, but I kept dropping comments about it in your live streams. It's just a Charming old park that they have maintained pretty well over the years. So cool that you were in the 603. Sorry to have missed you. So glad you enjoyed it. Knew they had a dark ride you'd be interested in. It's my hometown Park too like many people have said here. Dig it!
I was always afraid to ride Untamed, but my daughter convinced me to and it was a blast - even cooler at night.
Been there a bunch of times. Great park. Glad you made this video.
This is like the rotor ride in the New York park that was closed when you went great channel been enjoying for a couple years
Hey Jacob that's 30 minutes away from me been going there my whole life. So happy that you finally made it wasn't it great! Much love from Lowell Massachusetts 😘
Sigh... memories, my Childhood was spent Here 3 Summers... but dang had a chance to run into THE Carpetbagger n never even knew he was up near Massachusetts, oh well hope you enjoyed your visit Jaccob!!!
I really love you Jacob you stick by your guns don't use profanity and are positive thinker very kind it's always a pleasure being around you
