  • Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire is my home park. As a result, it is the amusement park I have visited more than any other. In this video, I will review the park from the rides to the atmosphere to the operations to the food.

    You don’t realize how much you appreciate the shade and maintenance until you go to a park with neither. Been going here since I was in the first grade and it’s always a good time. And even when it changes, it maintains the charm.

    Been going to Canobie for 20 years myself. It's one of my favorites and always will be. The charm is what gets me, it's not in your face, it's not dirty, it's not doing too much, it's there and it's amazing. The Policy Pond Log Flume is BY FAR the greatest traditional log flume I've been on, I could ride that all damn day. Think a perfect family coaster would be a junior gravity group. Take a page out of Kentucky Kingdoms book. Put the station at Tall timber splash and have it go across the parking lot. Really love your dedication and effort put into this video.

      And the crazy thing is that 2020 is the worst it ever looked (and it still looked great), mostly since they lost their off-season to finish refurbing/assembling rides and couldn't open at night for their lights to come on.

    Dang spending 30 years at a park, so since almost the 1990s. That is truly nostalgic. I've only been going to my home park, Canada's Wonderland since 2009, and so only about a decade, but spending that much time at a park must be truly special for you.

    Love that this park is still open. You can't even put a value on the nostalgia if you went here as a kid and can take your own.
    I grew up as a whalom park pass holder with the park 10 mins from mom's house. So seeing it close and watching condos overtake your memories and never being able to take my kids is heart breaking.
    I remember the mine log ride at canobie as a young child while my grandparents were visiting though, so I cant wait to take my 3 yr old daughter on it and just feel the generational nostalgia!

    This park means so much to me and my family. It's only about 15 minutes from my house; my mom worked there when she was a kid, and my sister's been working there every summer since she was in high school. All throughout college and beyond, I've made an effort to go at least once a year, and every time what I get to do is a little different depending on who I'm with.

    This is my home park too and I love living so close to it. For reasons of zoning and space, it can't have huge thrill rides. But it's just such a nice place.
    The single-rider line for Untamed is the park's best secret.
    I love the pinball parlor too--today, it's the single best publicly accessible collection of pinballs in New England, beating Funspot (which is, however, the place for classic arcade videogames). There was once a better one: Pinball Wizard in Pelham, NH. But it closed down a few years ago, and Canobie has stepped up its pinball game, perhaps in response. Back when most of the pinballs were at the Palace Arcade on the midway, it seemed like they were always broken. Now they take better care of them, and while they won't all be in perfect working order, at least they'll tape over the coin slots of the non-working ones.

    Weak coaster lineup, long lines, aggressive pricing.... but, you invested the time to make a 26-minute video about this park, topping your 24-minute Cedar Point review, which is the gold standard of amusement park reviews. Based on that alone I'll give Canobie a shot. Looks friendly with pretty atmosphere and high-quality customers. Hoping it feels like Knoebels. I don't have a home park, but if I did, I'd want to be able to sell it like you sell Canobie Lake Park.

    • @MattMcIrvin

      The pricing is better than it looks since it has free parking (and nearly all guests are going to arrive by car).
      The lines are not worse than at other parks in the region--the park has no skip-the-line passes, but that in itself means the standby lines move a bit faster than they do at Six Flags. Aside from the single-rider line on Untamed, my preferred way to deal with them is to go at lower-volume times. My absolute favorite used to be pre-season weekends in May (as long as it was NOT Mother's Day), but Canobie hasn't opened for most of that period in the post-COVID era. My second favorite is right now, the September post-season in between Labor Day and Screeemfest. The waterpark isn't open, but the weather is more temperate and the crowds are light.

    Idlewild Park in Ligonier, PA used to have a Caterpillar that had a canopy. Rumor has it, that the canopy was removed because a snake was hiding in the folds of the canopy, and when it was placed over the ride the snake was to have fallen into the ride a bit one of the riders. The canopy was removed, then brought back a few years later.

    Most of my Canobie days precede a lot of the new rides. Coasters were just the YC and the Galaxy, and then the Corkscrew. I need to try Untamed.
    In my skinny younger years I could get serious air time on the Yankee Cannonball, Not the brightest thing I've done, but I could grab the head rest in front of me and "stand" for the ride.

    Canobie is also my home park and one of my favorites. Xtreme frisbee is probably my favorite flat ride I’ve ridden as it is smooth and has tons of airtime. I even worked at Canobie one summer as a technician in the entertainment dept, and it was I think the last summer they had Equinox. The ride’s failsafe sensors were hair-trigger and the ride had tons of downtime as a result. Overall I have been happy with the park’s updates over the years, but personally not a big fan on the focus of the water park expansion.

    Goodness, I remember equinox! Almost went on it as a kid, but decided to back out at the last minute. I kind of wish I didn't, but if the rumors of some riders ending upside-down after the ride was done were true, maybe I had the right idea back then, heh heh! It's a good park, overall though. I haven't been there in a few years. I'm thinking about heading back sometime soon, though, if at all possible. It's a great park, even if the turkish twist made me a bit sick the last time I was on it. Probably shouldn't have eaten right before I got on that one time.

    I had a really cool thing happen at Canobie last time I was there. It was July 2019. They were suppose to close at 9 but they decided to stay open an extra hour because they had a lot of guests. They made an announcement over the loud speakers. No other park would do that.
    Just personal opinion but I would say that Canobie is the best for families or if you just want to relax. Six Flags is the best for thrill seekers. Compounce is the best if you want scenery and also want the best rollercoaster in New England.

      A lot of the early PTC woodies at that time ran 3 car, 3 bench trains. Maybe they could get a 4th car- Wild One at Six Flags America did. But I suspect the cost it would take to do that would be better invested just upgrading the brakes.

    A launch coaster would be a really good fit for Canobie. It would (without a doubt) be a big investment, but I think a Gerstlauer, S&S, or Premier would be great. It would be pretty compact and would be super low-to-the-ground. That would probably cause some abrupt airtime pops and have some very whippy elements. And if it had tunnels, it could have some really cool underground elements and sustained airtime. Imagine a zero-g roll variant that dives underground 🤤
    also something like one of those abc rides gyroscope thingys would be nice. or maybe even a larson loop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    and even some flats that go underground 🙂
    but obviously a family coaster will be added first, so I'm going to say maybe a Zierer Tivoli
