"Skater" took up some of the removed Rockin' Rider site, but has since been moved to the old location of the "Paratroopers" ride (which will be sold and has been removed from the park). The park also added a ride called "Skater". Also in 2005, the park opened a new water park called "Castaway Island". It opened for the last three days of the 2004 season, and was officially opened in 2005. " Wipeout", a tropical surf theme ride, replaced "Kosmo Jets" (an SDC Telecombat ride). In 2003 the park opened "DaVinci's Dream", a Chair-O-Planes-type ride. In that year, it opened an S&S Power Double Shot ride named "Starblaster". In 2001, the park opened "Ocean Trip", which has been replaced by "Boston Harbor Patrol" (to fit the " Boston Tea Party" theme).Ģ002 was the park's 100th season. The floor then drops out from beneath them, while they remain stuck to the wall. The entire drum begins spinning, and the riders are pushed against the wall by the strong centrifugal force. Riders stand with their backs to the wall of a cylindrical drum (with no ceiling, so others can watch from above). They turn around and plunge down a tunnel into the water below, creating a large wave.Īlso in the back portion of the park is a rotor ride named "Turkish Twist". Riders board a large boat and are transported up a lift hill. Located towards the back of the park, along the lake, is a Chute-the-Chutes ride titled "The Boston Tea Party". Another flat ride at Canobie is the "Psychodrome", a 12-car Scrambler ride located in a dome, with special effects lighting and music. Passengers board a "mine car" and are transported into the depths of a dark mine, which begins to collapse. The park also features one of the few dark rides in New England, titled "Mine of Lost Souls". There is also a kiddie coaster, called "The Dragon". It was formerly located at Old Chicago, where it was called the "Chicago Loop". The park also has a looping, steel roller coaster named the Canobie Corkscrew, designed by Arrow Dynamics. The Yankee Cannonball, a 1930s-era wooden roller coaster, is one of the park's best known rides. Today, owned by 3 different families, the park features over 50 rides, including roller coasters, a log flume, a hand-painted antique carousel, a steam train, a Ferris wheel, the "Starblaster", " Dodgems", "DaVinci's Dream", over a dozen kiddie rides, a variety of foods, prize games, three arcades, live entertainment, fireworks, and more. From the 1930s to the early 1950s, Canobie Lake Park’s Dancehall Theater became known as an entertainment destination hosting names such as Guy Lombardo, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, and later, Sonny & Cher and Aerosmith. In the park's early years, it was known for its flower gardens, promenades and gentle attractions. The amusement park has opened every summer since then. Canobie Lake Park opened on August 23, 1902, as a trolley park for the Massachusetts Northeast Street Railway Company. ![]()
