Canobie Screeemfest 2011 PTR

[mrceagle]

It's that time of year again were some parks turn creepy and kooky. Canobie Park is one of those parks. On its 4th year hosting a Halloween event and the 3rd year doing it on their own. I was eager to see what this year had to offer. The park was opened form 5 to 11 and the weather report was looking good.

I arrived a bit after 5 and made my way into the park. I immediately went to the Rowdy Rooster (flying scooters) since they are finally back up and running. The park had new tubs built by Sky trams to replace the heavier tubs they run which were built form Bomber gas tanks. The new tubs are roomy and comfortable, have standard seat belts, and are very easy to control. Only down side it the ride still move too slow to snap the car but fast enough that you almost get there.


The crowds were light with most rides being walk ones or a short wait. Since the haunt and the shows were a big reason for my trip I hit rides in between those attractions. Another ride I made appoint to hit was the Turkish Twist the parks Rotor ride. I really do enjoy the power of the ride, though I did notice that the cycle was a bit short. I enjoyed it none the less.
I only bought a drink; I refilled a Souvenir cop I have had for many years. I skipped out on food though there were a lot of specialty items to go with the Parks Oktoberfest calibration which runs along with Screeemfest.

Nice TR. I'm happy to see the rooster pictures posted so everyone now knows exactly how they look. I'm glad to hear the 2 new haunts are good additions, it seems Canobie is on it's way to really having a great haunted event in the years to come (not that it's bad now, but it gets better each year).

They are definitely not resting on what they have. rearrange and resetting what they have and adding new attractions and sets. gives you something to look forward to. most photos coming
editing another 60 photos.

Great TR & photos. I like the look of the (new) flying scooters.
I still wish they would bring a ride back similar to KosmoJet or Moon Orbiter.

There are 2 companies that still make a casmo jet ride with the movable cars and battle aspect. Astro moon orbiter i agree completely. there are a number of option out there and if they get a larger model they can hold adults and kids. The medium sized jets that Zamperla make (big red plains at SFNE) are 600K.
