New Hampshire man here, seeing all these places in a mainstream video is kind of surreal. Also, the double toboggan at water country right by Ollie the octopus have moved from D tier to a solid A tier after they got new toboggans with handles. The old ones were gross flat mats that most human beings would fall off of and chafe their nips.
I have an unreasonable love of Canobie's Untamed and it's my personal favorite ride in the state, but objectively, from a coaster-freak standpoint, it's hard to argue with Roar-O-Saurus ranking high. But if I had to pick a water ride at Story Land it would be Splash Battle: Pharaoh's Reign. And Water Country has a solid lazy river. Did not do Patriot the last time I was there but I did Double Geronimo a billion years ago. My major lack when it comes to New Hampshire ride experience is that I haven't done any of the mountain coasters. Or Santa's Village.
...also, I'm fond of Canobie's Ice Jet, but that may just be an indication of my lightweight status when it comes to spinny flats--I know some lament that it's not as intense as the thing that was there before.
New Hampshire is definitely a great state for small but fun places. They have your home park, the park that makes this channel get its name. But you also got probably the best GG Family Coaster out there.
I’d personally put Cannonball higher. I may be lucky, but my most recent ride this summer was incredible. Track was hot, we got back train, and it was weighted to the max, so my ride might be biased. However, knowing what it is vs say a BoulderDash or El Toro, I was BLOWN AWAY with how well it was running this summer. Might be the extreme heat we’ve been getting, but definitely worth a look for a top 3-5 in my mind
great video. i agree with most of your choices. i have not been to all of these places, but i have been to most of them. one of my favorite rides was Rudys Rapid coaster at Santas Village. they retired that coaster this year. they will have a new coaster in its place next year. great choice for number 1. that is my favorite ride at sroryland.
@CanobieCoaster I am excited to go on the new coaster. Unfortunately I was unable to renew my season pass for Santa's Village. They sold out really quickly this year.
Great vid because I like how you cover flats as well as ountain coasters and flumes I've always wondered if you could add log flumes and Mountain Coasters to a Coaster credits list? I hope there will be a video of the top 25 or 50 Flume rides, maybe base them on sensations, how wet you get, and theming?
I am supprised someone put the mine at canobie so high because my first ride on it was a few days ago and it was really good, i didnt think anyone else would agree because as you said it is a bit dated, but for a park like canobie it sticks out in a good way
A great ride you missed, (but defunct ride) is the old Matterhorn at Canobie when it went full tilt! That thing was insane and they literally ran into the ground!
Excellent list, Mike. I would have to agree with almost all of these. I grew up in Massachusetts as well. Just out of curiosity, what town were you raised in? I feel like you and I had similar upbringings with a love for theme parks.
Canobie Coaster would say: Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park. The state's oldest roller coaster is the signature attraction at Canobie. This Herb Schmeck designed wood coaster runs alongside the parking lot and it has those coveted buzz bar trains, which means you have plenty of room to experience the airtime. A decade ago, this coaster would have placed... A) near the bottom of wooden coasters. B) in the top wooden coasters. C) in the middle of the pack of wooden coasters.
While I haven't been to New Hamshire this list is probably close to what mine would be. As someone with an alpine coaster in my top 25 (Deep Creek, MD. Wisp Resort) I need to check out the one you rank highly here.
@@CanobieCoaster I found it to have absolutely crazy laterals, which hightens the thrill level when the restraint is only a seatbelt. I basically say "read Cupcakes&Coasters review of the Blackpool wooden wild mouse and you have my review of the Wisp alpine coaster). Also several good airtime moments, I even remember even getting lateral airtime. With a car seatbelt as the restraint. And no speed limit like the ones in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have.
Have you ever tried the red slide on the shipwreck island water complex at whales tale? If you launch yourself down it fast, its one of the most disorienting and intense experiences you will get on a waterslide :)
Hello, Canobie! I was about to be in your server for 10K sub celebration, but I was almost an hour late. I decided to drop dead after that even though I did come with questions! Here's one I'd like you to answer right now: What is the roughest roller coaster you've ever ridden?
Since you included waterslides on the list, can we logically assume that Dr. VonDark's Tunnel of Terror is the worst ride in New Hampshire from your perspective?
Yup- Untamed, Corkscrew (I guess they removed it?), and Yankee Cannonball at Canobie are all rough riding from my experiences; the two former I'd ride again if visiting, but I've never had a good time on the YC despite everyone obsessing over it (GhostRider at Knott's is a better wooden coaster in my opinion). Other thoughts: -YES BAMBOO SHOOTS -Sad for no honorable mention of the Storyland Polar Coaster's disgusting ice pole that one (or more) kids would be licking while another kid rubbed their back/hands all over the opposite side -I'm honestly shocked that Fun World has survived the pandemic; even as a child I thought that place was gross and unsanitary -Excellent video!
I always enjoyed the Yankee Cannonball--it was the first coaster I rode after a long long hiatus, that got me back into riding coasters--but with one-train operations, the line for it is usually so long that since 2011, when I have my "Dad goes off solo and rides big coasters" time, Untamed draws me away from it. And I actually haven't ridden the YC since the big retrack that CC says made it smoother but tamer, so I can't speak to how it is now. The Polar Coaster has special status as the first coaster my child ever marathoned.
I am always thinking of ways to enhance that fun so the experience becomes physically mentally financially spiritually beneficial and rewarding. Example the roller coasters should include some kind of test to see how well a person may keep their composure under high intensity excitement. Like being able to write your name and address before the ride ends. I think would be a fun way to test one's eye hand coordination similar to astronauts and jet fighters. Equally as true all roller coasters today should automatically have an electronic system that is constantly scanning the track for weakness fractures rust and corrosion. And with today's technologies should be no problem to upgrade any and all other roller coasters which will maximize on safety so people may have extreme fun on every ride
@@CanobieCoaster It is and I know it will be effective in being able to improve upon one's overall functionality. However the safety precautions I mentioned which would be able to detect any weakness fractures rusting in corrosion within the entire track seem more important. Fortunately they can both be accomplished fast affective cost-efficient.

I only rode Double Dive Boggan with the new mats and it was solid.
BigAirBag looks crazy! I'm not sure if I would have the guts to do that one.
It was a ride I was surprised to see in this country.
I haven’t been to New Hampshire yet, but I plan to soon. It looks like a really beautiful state with some good rides to go along with it.
It is a nice state.

Double Geronimo looked a little better than Patriot. Splash Battle is fine, but I prefer Dr. Geyser’s and Bamboo Chutes myself.

11:19 Is there anything that prevents the raft from running into the wall from the drop?
No

It had a lot of parks I grew up with.

There will!

I put mountain coasters in coaster lists if they're good enough to qualify for a certain list. I plan to make a top water rides video.

It's a charming classic.
Good work on roller coaster rides in nh Kelsey
Yes
A great ride you missed, (but defunct ride) is the old Matterhorn at Canobie when it went full tilt! That thing was insane and they literally ran into the ground!
I loved that ride. I kept defunct rides off this. Equinox would have placed highly too.
I totally guessed the number one! Also when I went to Clark's trading post I think I did everything but Merlin's Mystical Manor.
I haven't been to Clark's in a very long time.
Now just imagine if Canobie Lake Park got an 80ft Gravity Group woodie 👀 one can only dream 😂
That would be great.
Excellent list, Mike. I would have to agree with almost all of these. I grew up in Massachusetts as well. Just out of curiosity, what town were you raised in? I feel like you and I had similar upbringings with a love for theme parks.
I don't want to say where I grew up exactly. I grew up in the suburbs.
@@CanobieCoaster Gotcha. No worries. I grew up in Woburn.

I love everything about nh
It's a nice state.

Pretty much.
Hello, Canobie! I was about to be in your server for 10K sub celebration, but I was almost an hour late. I decided to drop dead after that even though I did come with questions! Here's one I'd like you to answer right now: What is the roughest roller coaster you've ever ridden?
Coaster Express. That ride is vile.
5:56 Ė̃É̩ê̄Ꞧ
I know that sounded awkward lol

Yankee Cannonball has always been smooth for me despite its age. I remember that ice pole as a kid!

Had no idea about BigAirBag lol
Such a strange but fun ride.
Did you ever come off something at New Hampshire breathless? What do you think?
Yes, Roar-O-Saurus.
I miss Geronimo, they looked steeper than patriot.
It did. And you could race.
They were. It was almost a vertical drop, very freaky.
I know this would never happen but imagine they rmc yankee cannonball
I agree it never would happen.
You know what would be great? If Canobie Corkscrew got replaced with a Chance Hyper GT-X
I'd love that, but I'm 99% sure that site will be a water park expansion given its location and the park's need.

And Turkish twist the floor drops
Yes, love how intense that ride is.
Did you ever come off something in New Hampshire disappointed? What do you think?
Yes, Equinox when it didn't work.
Did you ever come off something in New Hampshire in pain? What do you think?
Canobie Corkscew was rough as a kid.
wth does vegan mean when talking about roller coasters? Like it has no emissions?
What ride did I describe as vegan?
@@CanobieCoaster 3:39 It sounds like you said " this vegan model" here
