In my opinion, a park that has 50+ rides, but less than 5 roller coasters is criminal, but if one or more of those roller coasters is very well known and famous (Like Yankee Cannonball) or if all the roller coasters are good rides, then the park gets a pass, and Canobie gets a pass because of how well known Yankee Cannonball is.
If only Yankee Cannonball still ran like it did 6 years ago.
I like coasters but I think the modern tendency of the big parks to put in huge numbers of roller coasters threatens to become excessive--there are other kinds of rides! It used to be that a major theme park like Busch Gardens or Hersheypark could be viable with only three or four coasters in it, if they were really good. (I suppose this is still true if your name rhymes with Shmisney.) Canobie is a small enough park that it's hard to imagine it having many more coasters than it has.
The Untamed is cool to
yankee cannonball still runs , i went to canobie lake park and i’ve been on the cannonball ride at least 7 times in one day
And now corkscrew is gone 😢
this park just looks so quaint! It's like a public garden with coasters, so cute
The atmosphere is its strength.
It’s a great park
I remember being on a school trip to Canobie, we went on the Turkish Twist, Right when the floor dropped my boy started to sing "you spin me right round, baby right round", the driver welled at him saying "this is a family park"!!!
Lol
Dude ran me thru a classic park from my youth. 6 years ago i accidentally became a Dad. Got married bought a house and have brought my daughter EVERY September of her life. Her furst ride was the GORGEOUS carousel. I cried as she beamed (she cracked her first real smile the month before) the whole ride... then got mad when the ride stopped. We ride 18 times before she passed out.... then i got to go on the Cannonball. My last 5 visits were the best of my life... each better than the last. My wife and i never tell her when we are going. When she sees the yankee cannonball and the flags at the entrance... she loses it! GOING NEXT WEEK!!!! Can't wait!!
Nice!
I missed so many of these during my first visit 10 years ago. This list and your recent reviews will be excellent resources for my trip next month! I'm glad their rotor is still clinging on after all these years.
Nice!
As someone who makes it a tradition to go to canobie every summer I have to say log flume is in the top 3 but going on Boston tea party and then running over to psycho drome to stay dry never gets old! Last time I went Turkish twist only dropped the floor for a few seconds, and sadly I’ve never gone during screamfest and haven’t tried both the horror rides only open during halloween.
Nice!
I go to canobie every summer aswell :D
I’ve been going to Canobie every summer (except last year due to COVID) since I was 2 years old! My favorite ride is Extreme Frisbee but Untamed is a very close second. I love the variety of rides at the park, I’m sad that they got rid of Equinox because that, along with Extreme Frisbee, were really the only thrilling rides. I can’t wait to go again either at the end of July or sometime in August
Enjoy!
Thanks! I’ll be going to canobie in a week or so so this’ll really help me out!
Enjoy!
I went to Canobie this past summer for the first time since 1996 and hooooooly moly has it changed, with the addition of the waterpark.
Definitely!
The waterpark doubled in size a few years ago and it's still slammed all the time when it's open. It needs to get bigger, and I imagine that's what they're going to do with the plot where the Corkscrew was.
Supposedly they bought a Zamperla NebulaZ that they're going to put somewhere back around Untamed, but they're taking their sweet time installing it. They could use a new fourth coaster too, but I don't know exactly where it would go. They took out the Tall Timber Splash slide, but that plot is relatively small unless they expanded into the parking lot.
The laterals on that wipeout look insane
Especially at the end.
My Home Park too when I was a kid..It has Great memories.
Thanks for posting .
You're welcome!
Love Canobie! Especially the haunted mine. There used to be another coaster there (mid to late 90s), that had smaller cars and lots of really high up turns (but not the Wild Mouse). Does anyone remember what that coaster was called? It was similar to the one that was at Old Orchard Beach before they put the Sea Viper in.
I remember Rockin' Rider too. It was usually closed for me.
It was originally called the Galaxi. It was in the spot now occupied by the Frisbee ride. A great little coaster.
As a ride operator in past seasons that worked at several of these attractions I can say the spinning at OTR does get out of control at times especially among the kids. Wipeout is often mistaken by some as a kiddie ride but it's a black diamond and one of the more intense attractions. Psychodrome is not recommended for people with seizure disorders as the lights and music could cause seizures. I don't have seizures but was having headaches after operating it. CLP has built their business on providing fun for all and wants their guests to make memories. Going there as a kid and then working there as an adult I got to experience both sides.
It really is shocking how fast those balloons can spin.
I saw the Ramones jamming out here in 1986. I was 8 years old at the time and loved the music. I got to meet them later in the day and all 4 of them were so cool to us
Nice!
Who would have guessed that Canobie Coaster's home park is Canobie Lake?
Technically it isn't anymore since I moved closer to Edaville, but it was for many years and it's still close.
Always loved this park. Been forever since I've gone. Hoping to go again this year.
Enjoy!
Canobie Lake park is a nice little park, not the biggest park in the world but has special stuff to it and a good ride lineup. Only 4 coasters but it doesn't really need more. My favorites would probably be untamed, the drop tower, Yankee Cananball.
The lineup is large considering the park's size.
Love to see my home park get some love. I’m in Hudson so I come here all the time!
Nice!
I've watched dozens of countdowns on your channel but I don't remember any of them discussing your favorite rides at these parks. You should do more of them.
Noted!
I used to go to this amusement park every year on my birthday. I'm pretty sure my school is gunna bring us there, and that park was one of the best parts of my life.
Nice!
@@CanobieCoaster I also learned some more things about this park, from this video. Like, Ice Jet was originally the Matterhorn.
Something I learned before I saw this video was that Zero Gravity's original name is Round Up.
I haven't tried all the rides yet because I was a scaredy cat back then. But I'm willing to try rides like Xtreme Frisbee, I would've tried the Equinox if it was still there
Canobie is my home park too. I want to see a new roller coaster :D
Me too.
Canobie you should make a video about what you think/want the next coaster at Canobie Lake Park to be
RMC just announced a junior hybrid model that seems intended to compete with Gravity Group's family woodies. My daydream is that they take out the Corkscrew and replace it with one of either of those.
i agree they could use a new rollercoaster
I know it's close to me but I always felt like it's the perfect family amusement park. It has something for everyone while not being IN YOUR FACE and super brand heavy. Don't want anything bigger than a JR GG, anything else would look too big. Love the list, #2 and #1 are pretty obvious haha because they are mine too!
That would be a great fit.
I guess it's been a long time since I went to Canobie Lake Park. The only ride from your list that was there was the Yankee Cannonball. Although at the end you showed the old gondola like a ski lift that I enjoyed getting an overview of the park on. I guess I would be lost there now. Thanks for the tour.
You're welcome!
honestly the best part of canobie lake imo is the fact that all of the good flat rides run much faster than other parks run theirs
They do have good cycles.
I'm 16 and haven't been to Canobie since I believe I was 7 or 8, I'm a very nervous person so rides have never really been my thing but we're going in a week or so and I'm gonna try more rides than I usually would this time!
Enjoy!
You deserve more views, I like how your list included flat rides as they are as worthy as coasters to me and I hate how most CC's ignore them outright. Matterhorn looks wild. Do you know the parks policy on Flyer snapping? Thx dude.
The flyers have a metal chain that restricts how much the fin can move so they're impossible to snap.
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks! That seems pretty out of place for a park that runs most of their rides fast.
Worked here for 5 years and have visited many times. Nice to see some love for my home park.
Nice!
I’d love to see this list for Knoebels!
That's one I could do.
Yes me too, headed there soon with not too much time so I would love to know which flat rides to prioritize
I'm going to this same one tomorrow with my friend I can't wait
Enjoy!
I’m going tomorrow this really helped me map out where I was going
Nice!
I love the twist and shout and psycho drome the best also the boston tea party. will be going tomorrow!!
Enjoy!
Great video - I would love to see ur review on Yorks Wild Kingdom
I haven't been there in years and want to get back.
I am going to Canobie later today, and I cannot wait to ride the log flume!
Enjoy!
My favorite ride was the break room when I worked there 😂 I understand why people like the mom and pop feel to this park, and it certainly was something I enjoyed from ages 6-13 years old. But as I got into my teen years and eventually worked there for 4 seasons, I’ve come to realize that it is just an overpriced, horrible line waiting, money grab these days. The rides aren’t fun besides untamed and yankee cannonball. My favorite part of the starblaster is the noise it makes. And it’s just lackluster compared to almost any other park I’ve ever attended in my life.
It's fine for families.
Thank you for this video. I no longer live in New England. My last visit to Canobie was over 30 years ago, but most of my memories are from the mid-1960s. There used to be a "flat" circular ride with beautiful carved wooden horses that went gently up and down. The ride went around in a circle while music played. It is probably about 100 years old. Is it still there? It was off to the right, near the Dodgems (bumper cars) and the Whip, as you came in the main entrance. I'm glad to see that the old wooden roller coaster is still there.
Yes, the Antique Carousel is still there.
Yup still there! It’s currently undergoing renovation so it’s down right now.
I remember when l was a child my parents took me to Canobie. We came to the Turkish Twist ride not really knowing what it was, but it had an interesting name, and me and my dad walked inside to find this weird black round room. Neither of us knew what it did. At the last minute l got nervous and bad vibes about the ride and walked upstairs to the viewing platform, leaving my dad. I watched in horror as the thing started to pick up speed and spun insanely fast as the bottom floor went down and the people were all plastered to the wall. My dad got off that thing and was white as a ghost. He thought he was having a heart attack. Never again he said. Never for me l said. Great times.
At least the queue lets you see the ride.
I don't think there was a line that day. I know went a few times in the 80's and that ride was always closed. So we had no idea what type of ride it was. Great list by the way. I have always enjoyed wooden coasters, and the yankee cannonball is great. I know the corkscrew is kind of rough, but l still like it. I can't speak for Untamed, because l haven't been there since they built that one. But Canobie is a great park. It may not have the most thrilling and latest innovations, but it's beautiful and has something for everyone.
My favorite is Untamed. Sure it's a little jerky but it's not painful and neckbanging can be completely averted if you position yourself right, and I love the intense forces on it
It's definitely one to ride defensively.
My favorite park in the whole world. I visited in August of 2015 and it’s a core memory of my teenage years. I saw it on Bert the Conqueror as a 10 year old and knew I had to visit one day. My favorite attraction ended up being the grilled cheese stand and a bench by the lake. Was a perfect way to watch the sunset. The log flume is absolutely great too. Just a gorgeous park in a great part of our country.
The sunsets are great there.
3:32 lmao I thought you were talking about an actual hotel at first 😂
Nope!
Just went again today with our season passes. I absolutely hated the Equinox the one time I rode it lol. It felt like being stuck in a dryer! I actually wonder if the Frisbee has been slowed down a bit this year. Or if my rides on the Turkish Twist has warped my view lol
I loved the chaos of Equinox.
This is great to show people what my home park is like 😅 The Mine of the Lost Souls is my guilty pleasure. I miss Corkscrew.
Mine of Lost Souls is a solid dark ride for a regional park.
My family’s most signature picture was when I was 3 years old. On the log flume, we used to call it the log ride, and we used to call untamed the bear ride
Understandable!
untamed, x-treme frisbee, and boston tea party>>>>
i love going to canobie every summer!! i’m so excited to go this year
Enjoy!
I rode a KMG tango at the Wisconsin State Fair and it was totally nuts!!! Sad that it probably isn’t returning this year but hopefully it will next year!!
Hopefully!
I wish eqinox was still there. i was to young to ride it when it was at the park but it looks like it would have been so much fun to get to ride. i hope they add another flat ride that is like that.
They really could use an inverting flat.
the Canobie Corkscrew was actually my first ever inverting ride ever
One of my first.
Cool video!
Thanks!
I don't know if a carnival is worth a trip from NH to PA, but my local two-weeks-a-year carnival still has a Tango (I think).
I'm hopeful that St. Michael's Carnival (run by Reithoffers) returns this year, after cancelling last year for obvious reasons.
I've seen that exact Tango being set up at a NY fair a few years ago.
Recently two weeks ago I moved back for a week or two to Massachusetts and when we were there before we went on the star blaster it just broke we heard it from like the other side of the Park it was just really loud and it shut down after three rides after it broke
Yikes!
Curious to know if we need to wear slippers/water shoes or normal shoes? and any other things to be prepared before the visit?
You can wear water shoes in the park. I'm not sure on slippers though.
Hey canobie coasters I’m going to canobie this Sunday. Any tips/suggestions/ food recommendations you would like to share. Also what do recommend doing at rope drop
I have a full review video that goes into more detail on everything, but from a high level- Dancing Bear Canteen (by Tall Timber Splash) is the best food in the park. If you plan to stay all day, save the water rides and dark ride for the evening. You should then rope drop the Yankee Cannonball and Untamed (no single rider line currently). Psycho Drome is another one to ride early if you can handle the spinning on it since that has a low throughput.
Hey, Ive gone to canobie a few times, and sadly i've never gotten to ride a coaster because the lines are always overpacked. I also went on the Turkish Twist one time and im suprised I didnt hurl. Anyways, keep up the great content!
Thanks, this park always gets crowds.
I loved the Turkish Twist. I always got yelled at by the operator for turning sideways lol.
The secret to Untamed is to use the single-rider line--it's around in the back of the station. You never have to wait more than a couple of minutes to get on.
But if you want to ride the Yankee Cannonball, there's no shortcut. And it's definitely the most popular ride in the park.
untamed was one of the rides i would never go on as a kid but now that im going this saturday i might try it out
It's over quickly if you don't like it, but I think it's a lot of fun.
I’m going soon and I’m terrified of the untamed. Is it really bad or what should I expect?
The ride is over in a flash and a lot of fun.
I love canobie my favs are the first one u mentioned, untamed, the swings, the 2 gravity ones the one where the floor drops and the other spinning fast one and the frisbee I wanna go so badly right now but idk if I can make my parents take me
Hopefully you can!
@@CanobieCoaster I overheard my parents saying we could go during fall to go on the Halloween rides
Oh dear, I remember going into carnivus as a little girl and my dad wound up having the carry me out! Still remember a clown trying to comfort me with a shoulder pat while I prayed for him to walk away lol
Oh wow!
Right before it closed some of my friends had ridden Equinox, and they watched as a bolt fell off of one of the arms. As much fun as it was, it definitely seemed to be a maintainance nightmare for the park.
Yikes!
I LOVE the haunted mine!
It's a fun one.
The Turkish twish is my fav ride! I was there the other week and I went on 4 times (I somehow don't get dizzy on it)
Great spinning ride.
I’m going there this Thursday :))
Enjoy!
I love roller coaster, especially the cannonball roller coaster
That's a classic.
i went on the log fumes and i thought i was gonna die cause i was in the front and the bars were slippery so i didnt have a good grip. And then there was like a picture when you go down
At least you won't come out of the log even if you slide.
In my opinion, my top 5 would be
1. Untamed
2. Canobie Corkscrew
3. Yankee Cannonball
4. Boston Tea Party
5. Starblaster
Wow, Corkscrew ahead of Yankee Cannonball? You don't see that often.
@@CanobieCoaster love both, but corkscrew is more exciting
Yankee cannonball is definitely number 1. I gotta say that the xtreme frisbee is my personal favorite. Im surprised the zero gravity didn’t make the list
Yankee Cannonball almost got the top spot.
Equinox was my number 1 at the park too. I got lucky I had ridden it 8-9 times.
I'm jealous!
Im from Montreal and when i would visit my family in Boston in the 90s, we would go to CLP. Sigh....best memories!
Nice!
X-treme frisbee is my fav there right now but i cant remember the last time i went and it was running smh
It has been a while.
Went yesterday and rode it
It was running all day when i was there this weekend
I use to love family trips to Canobie and have been dying to go back. Haven’t been since 2002/2003
It's a good park.
Is the vertigo theater still there? I used to Canobie Lake Park from 1978-1982
The theater has been removed. The yellow dome is still standing, but they moved the Autobahn kiddie car ride underneath it.
@@CanobieCoasterok...thanks
I think the best new flat ride for Canobie should be a Lasron Looper or something like that. Maybe an Endeavor by Zamperla as they are too small to ever get an SLC.
Either would work!
cool!
Yes
going tomorrow with 3 other friends, really exited to ride untamed, the flume, yankee cannonball, and boston tea party
Enjoy!
Wow I'm from NH and been on the corkscrew multiple times. I thought it was yellow? Have I really not been there in that long?
It had been blue for a decade or so.
@@CanobieCoaster yikes lol. I looked it up and apparently they removed it so that sucks. Canobie is in dire need of coasters in my opinion. I also remember the white coaster being the absolute best. Sad to hear it got nerfed
The footage used for the Frisbee was from my local park, Adventureland on Long Island. That’s a sweet little park but not one to include on any best of list. It’s got a swing like DaVinci and a new one like Joker from SFNE.
It's rare for me to see Canobie's frisbee open.
im definitely going this summer at least 5 times
Nice!
I miss the Matterhorn. That, along with the Galaxi and Paratroopers were 3 of my favorite rides.
Matterhorn is definitely missed.
I was about 15 when I tried the Turkish Twist ride but i had to cry cree before it exceeded the speed lol my chest felt so tight
It's so intense.
Damn I really miss Equinox... I rode it in 2013 for Screemfest and it was also my favorite ride. Hope Canobie in the next few years intoruces something like that or just more rides in general!
An inverting flat would serve them nicely.
@@CanobieCoaster Also like you said in your video about the Frisbee being down at times, you think they would ever replace it? If they want to keep the frisbee concept, I thought maybe they can do the frisbee's they have at six flags now like wonder woman and harley quinn spinsanity. Although with spacing I'm not sure if it would be possible. But I think it would be a nice upgrade, since their current model is down a lot.
Their issue would be the 80ft height limit. If they replaced the frisbee, a small inverting one would work.
@@CanobieCoaster I completelyyyy forgot about their 80ft height limit.. Damn, but hey you’re right a small inverting one would be a good substitute
Love canobie. Also for 3 decades. So solid.
Nice!
@@CanobieCoaster haven't been for 4 years..trying to set up a trip for late summer/early fall if we can swing it. I hear the fireworks every week from my house..God i miss that place.
well done video
Thanks!
Also my home park. I’d also agree this is one of the best log flumes I’ve ever been on.
Anyone looking for more thrilling rides/coasters take the drive to six flags New England well worth it
I agree Six Flags is the better park for thrills.
Six Flags New England has the two best coasters in the region, but Canobie beats it for beauty, games, food and relaxed vibes.
Other regional dark horses: Lake Compounce (go for Boulder Dash, stay for Phobia Phear Coaster, Ghost Hunt and the waterpark), Story Land (adorable NH kiddie park that somehow got a beast of a Gravity Group junior woodie).
Are you old enough to remember the mouse coaster that was somewhat by where the Frisbee is? I forget its name but it was wicked fun.
Rockin' Rider? Yes I rode it.
I think thats it, or damed close. @@CanobieCoaster
I miss the Kosmo Jets. It was very unique. Also the mirror maze was cool when it was spinning.
Those were classics.
I've only been there once but honestly one of my favorite theme parks
Such a charming park.
@@CanobieCoaster spent $75 on a single cup from there 🤣 easily the best purchase I've made
i moved away from NH a few years ago, stumbled across this video and ur making me nostalgic!!! gotta say tho, as a short person, i hated the corkscrew lol. everyone i know why is like, 5'7 and above thinks its a decent ride, the rest of us come off with one hell of a headache
OH GOD WHIPE OUT!!!!!!!!!!
oh they've upgraded since i was last there!!!
psycho doesnt use a fog machine anymore????? oh im so sad!!!
is untamed new? i dont remember it at all. it looks like its in the place where the wooden coaster was. i love roller coasters so i would have defiantly gone on that if i knew it was there
turkish twist yes!!! god that ride is so fun!!! there needs to be more!!!
Yule Log Flume>>>>Bamboo Chutes>>>>Policy Pond, if we are ranking NH flume rides.
I put Policy Pond at the top, followed by Yule Log Flume and Bamboo Chutes.
Aw man I love policy pond log flume I did it with my parents grandparents and cousins it’s a very fun family ride I’d say especially with the worker at the peak who I think ask if you wanna continue yes or no as if the option was there the whole park is definitely worth the drive from Boston
I agree it's a good park.
Is the casteaway island open? And if it is do you have to wear a mask in the water?
Masks aren't required at Canobie this year, but strongly recommended around the dry park.
@@CanobieCoaster alright thank you :)
Now we know where the channel's name comes from
Yes, it was my home park.
Could you do this for kings island possibly?
Maybe!
The Rocket Ship ride has been defunct for years, but you can still see it on Google maps in the storage yard if you look hard enough
Cool!
Miss the corkscrew. It wasn't the best, but it really rounded out the lineup.
I recall hearing that they can't surpass a certain height for their buildings - hence why they focus more on ground rides as opposed to coasters.
I suspect Corkscrew will be replaced by a needed water park expansion.
Im going on the 17th im so excited man
Enjoy!
@@CanobieCoaster thank you, im sure i will !
Great video, i miss equinox
Thanks, me too.
Do u have to wear a wrist brand when u enter?
No
@@CanobieCoaster good
I always liked the Galaxi. Rocket Ship was kind of cool too, unique experience.
USA Mission was a guilty pleasure of mine.
@@CanobieCoaster wasn't it "USA Missle"? That ride was hilarious. I remember laughing hysterically with my buddy in high school when we went on that ride.
Apparently they still have it in a storage area somewhere, or at least they did a few years back.
Opinion on the canobie lake park water park?
It's small. Looks good though and is nice for families.
My favorite ride there was phsycodrome. Least favorite would have to be the yankee cannonball bcuz I don’t like big roller coasters. I still really respect that ride though and will definitely ride it in the future
That's understandable.
What is your least favourite gerstlauer eurofighter?
Of the ones I've ridden, Predator. It's a rougher version of Untamed.
I’m going in July this year. Someone respond to this when it opens, is there anything new there?
The park will likely reopen weekends in April or May.
@@CanobieCoaster ok thanks
