kids or not, i thought that this was a fun ride. good way to get kids into coasters, and even some fun for the big kids!! this thing feels like ur going fast, i dont know what it is, but it think its the proximity to the ground, love the helixes, i think theyre tons of fun. obviously not competition for superamn, or batman, or anything like that, but still a fun ride! wish they would double the circuit though, that would amke it twice as fun (no pun intended, ok maybe, hehe)

I think you intended that pun, it is prity good an I dont know why they never run it thou twice. their is never a line. and they runit normaly 2/3 full. so it wouldnt hurt.

ive never ridden it. never really had the desire to with S:ROS right there. only a 6, does this mean its not worth a ride next time im in the park.

i was just lookin at it on rcdb and it says its called poison ivys tangle train. is this some new name change?

No its wrong on his site but its not worth the time to change it. hes got beter things to wory about.

Teh ride it worth a spin. theirs never a line so you can walk right on. its a littel smaller then Rudys Raped Transit as Santas Villedge.

looks like a pretty flat ride

ok, a ride, with no wait, ever! never waited for this ride, and if u have to, its for all of the 40 somethin seconds the ride operates for! still a fun ride, not the best, not even comparible to SRoS, but still, when u get a second, just hop a ride, cant hurt.

By flat, do you mean small and mild? it isn;t that fast. its just an injoyable ride. has same theming issuse but then again what dosnt in this park.

i mean small but more of not much height. stays pretty close to the ground. just a bunch of turns.

yeha, thats why they call it a jr.!!!

no im just commenting how flat it is. im not expectin a 200ft coaster but it has like no drop at all.

Coaster Santas Village has a larger Versio then this and their going after kids and familys.

santas village is, well whats the audience for poison ivys. it seems like santas has a larger version but all i meant by the flat comment is it seems to stay very close to the ground and rely on turns.

Its a custom figure 8 it isnt anything fantastic. I do think they could have don more with the space. they shoudl have put the zierer up in the flashback place and then instaled an invertigo in the spot of poison Ivy. they would have been able to instal a biger version.

thatd be great. id much rather ride an invertigo. they could make it a clone of two-face: the flip side in (i cant think of the park but it exists) to fit with the themeing.

Is this a clone of Roadrunner Express at WoA?

seems like it

No this is a Tivili modle from Zierer. rodruner is a Zamperla mini coaster. Two face is inSFAm

they have the same length height and layout.

Sorry they are the sme thing. my mind was thinking Great Adventure for some reason.

Hey i confuse parks too once in a while theres so many to remember.

He asked if it was like the one at SFWoA. I had said no becaouse I was thinking about the coaser of the same name at SFGAdv.

theres a lot of road runner expresses.

I asked if it was like the one at WoA.

and you got your answer. yes, yes it is

Yes and I gave him the answer. their are many but this two are the same. it comes down to SF clasic problem of reusing names.

its not all that bad but i think maybe 2 should be the limit. do not use the name more than twice and its ok if they are far away (like medusa) but there are too many B:TR, 3 S:ROS, 3 S:UF and who knows how many times they re-use names on boomerangs.

Onother thing tey likly still hold the copyright on the name. so we may not be able to use it even if we want to. pluse I would want to kep a heavy seporation from SF. make shore people know this is a all new park.

mrc, what are you taslkin bout..a whole new park?

I I bought SFNE I wouldnt kep it SFNE. I would and would have to rename it. I would keep the new England park and add somthign to it Paradise for example. the park would still ahv eits great rides and coastes but beyond tha tis woud be restructured. you woudl need t advertise teis at an intirly new park . not SFNE reformed. leagaly I couldnt.

ok i get it now. kinda out of nowhere though.

well inorder for me to get controle of SFNE I woudl have to buy it. so not that out of nowhere.

better start savin up lol

I woudl acually work my way up. buy whalom and then Santas Village. now that i have constant revinew I can use that money to buy the park. but then It woudl likly be easyer to buy Great escape.

buy canobie

I coudl buy Great Escpae, SAntas Village, and Whalom for the price it would ack to buy canobie. what I shoudl do is buy out one of the owners. would take less money. then all I have to do is convince the other two to get teh attractions.

there you go then

What I woudl do is help then instala masive ride. use that to require advertising on the ride for so lang. that was I woudl get advertising for the parks and Canobie woudl get a majer ocaster. another thing you coud do that my brother and I can up wt woudl be a majer park season pass. that would work on all NE parks. but SF woudl likly refuse. I knwo we could get the rest. we gut got to set canobie up with some way to take season passes.

Canobie doesnt have season passes?

i like the NE park season pass idea.

No canobie dosnt have seasson passes. they still take the passes by hand. they would need to update their entrance way before startig season passes. the entrance way is gong to be rebuilt in a year or so. but they do affer discount tickets at the local mall over Christmass really cheat $15.00. they also offer on opening days tickets at $17.00. note canobie has changed their opening day to the 26th do to the weather.

how much is normal canobie?

They went up to $24.00 this year. so you coudl go 3 times for the price of a full price season pass from SF. a 4th if you count the savings on food.

How much is a LC season pass?

Early perchase is $59.95 then it gos up $10 bucks.

Why is it that small parks charge huge amounts for season passes, and they offer a low number of rides, when Six Flags has reasonably priced passes that are good for all of their properties?

good question. one thing SF is not money hungry about

one you are paying for th water park and the park. two teh food is alot cheaper. three its 8 dollors to park in a security patroled parking lot. SF maes up fo rit by charging you up the wazo for everythig else.

Story land Season Passes are also available for $54.00. Whalom had one for 50.00. season passes are generaly priced at a two to thre park day coast. tht wasy you need to come 2-3 times to pay it off.

SF does have expensive food.

Who the hell goes to Story Land?lol. It sounds like a Disney knock-off.

Actally Story land opened before Disney. and i go at last once a year. They turn 50 this year, makign them two years older then Disney. so its more like Disney is an epansive nock-off of Story land. just to get the facts straight.

SF food is almost twice the cost of any other ark in NE. some for their beverages. also 10 bucks to park, now fare from the park. the onlt other NE park that charges for parkign is Compounce and at least they have security watching the parking lot. hell Canobie watchs the parking lot more then SFNE dose.

disney is better tho. story land seems to kiddi-ish for me.

story land ahs as many rides as 2 Disney parks. and if you try comparing MK and Story land, storyland has more thrilling rides. also Storyland is a family owned park. disney has a malti million doller company behind theparks. so them being of a little better quality should be emanded. But Story land is a family park not a kiddie park. they get alot of teens goign to the park over Santas village.

disneys still better. both BTM and pace mountain are more thrilling than polar coaster. it has better themeing and AE is more thrilling than anything at storyland.

I agree. but that dosnt make Storyland a kiddie park. out side those three atractions their rides arnt any more or less thrilling. actually many of them are more. I am less talkig aobut comparing the twe park. but yes Story land is older by 2 years. the parkis family rides like Disney is. and given their single family owner ship they have done alot with the park. mostly Im tryign to get you to realive that htey are not a kiddie park. a kiddie park woudl be Quazzy.

i still see it as a kiddie park. i drove by it severaly time the weekend before last cuz i skied wildcat and i looked into the property and remember great childhood memories but it didnt look like a place id ask to go back to.

You should go. so what f its mostly flats. every rid eexept one is family size. The raft ride is great. tyhe flume is small but better then SFNEs The new crazypark is a first to the US. its a family park. so what if it dosnt have a hypercoaster. this is still one of the best park is the area. and it is definatly the best theme park in NE.

yes def the best theme park but i wont be goin. id rather spend the money on SFNE or Canobie.

I dont blam you I do ge t both those parks more. im more just statign that it isnt a kidie park . thow that is their adiance. its still sothign you shoud check out if your in the area. I live much closer and go camping up theri often so or me its easy and no mor out of the way then SFNE.

see i couldnt see takin a trip all the way up there just to go to the park since its not that great to me since i like more thrills.

I can agree its not a thrillpark, butfew parks are. if you ever want a park the complete oposit of SF but stil ride some good rides. this is the place to go.

i just always want some theills. canobie is not a thrill park but i want to go because it does provide some minor thrills.

they have some. MAtterhorn, Starblaster, Turkish Twist, a littel in the corkscrew, alot from the Cannonball. theyre addin thrill rides. but about 1 to ever 4 faily rides. still a better valuse then SFNE.

you may want thrills now. bat what about in 5 of so years you get maried and have a child. what then. SFNE dosnt have much for your child to do are you really goign to insest that sort of money for it. or go to a rounded park like canobie, lake pomounce. that has alot all of you can do.

well see thats why i wouldnt go to storyland now but when i have kids sure ill go back but itll be for the kids. now i want thrills so ill go to SF. when im older then ill still go back to SF but prob not with my kids.. ill take them to storyland and santas. as for canobie, i see starblaster, corkscrew turkish twist,and yankee cannonball as thrills but thats not alot. still, canobie isnt meant to be a thrill park but i still want to go. mostly for starblaster but i also want to ride MoLS and boston tea party again.

I think you will be suprised withteh Materhorn. but I still ahve a better time a story land then SF. I think its because I feel thar are doign theri best at story land to give me a great day. I dont feel that SF give a hoot.

i dont think they do either but i enjoy myself more at SF cuz my fav type of rides are thrill rides and you cant find those at storyland so i have moire fun at SF.

But I find thrill ride to be rerry repitisius. they eventually all feal the same. but I can go to story land 2-3 times for the coast of 1 tri to SF. 2 times to Canobie. I two injoy the thrill rides. but if Canbie got a top spin, Freisbee, and an inverter I woudl have little reason to go. Story land is great for geting away from it all. and that is this hectic world is great.

u find them to be the same. i have never had the same ride on S:ROS, Cyclone, Scream, they are all different. i dont care what canobie gets (well i care i mean, well let me finish the statement), as long as SFNE has S:ROS ill be there.

Which returns me to my statment oabout rideign their one or two good rides. I injoy the cannonball mor ethen superman. for tow reason one the air is just as good and two you can ride the cannoball 2-5 times it takes you to ride superman once.

it depends when you go. i went once it was night. i got right on superman, no line and once i got off i walked around right back on.. i got in 5 rides in no time. then they closed it

. but anyway, yankee cannonball is good but nowhere near S:ROS

. but anyway, yankee cannonball is good but nowhere near S:ROS

Actaully it deponds of what you want. i lie Ejecter air time better then flot. its more exiting. Superman has alot of flot but little ejecter air. Cannonball is nothign but Ejecter air. and soe foat. but to hav eno lien ir very rair.

i need to ride YC again cuz i dont even remember

The new tracls make it run smooth adn fast. its loke havign the best of a steel adn wood coaster together.

like i said im gonna try to get up to canobie but def next year is they add a new coaster or major ride

Beleave me I will be buging them to get somthign of a thrill ride. not to mentin inforce the demand for a new coaster.

good

Hard park is geting every oen to aprove it. and if they dont have a design this will take some time. they woudl have to order it right now andhope it woul dbe ready for next year. a flat ride is easy acoaster is much harder.

Do you know how how long it takes to design and plan a coaster(even a clone)? If the park doesnt have something planned then its probably not going to happen.

Canobie refuses to get a clone. if they put in any coaserof any type it will be custom.

The park already has three cloned coasters why not make it four?

That is exaclty why. teh Dragon is loosly a clon, and the Galixy adn Corkscrew are clones. they dont want to invest a lot of money to get somthign alot of other people have. A custom woudl bring in more people.

Who cares what they get? Just as long as it brings in people its all good.

Well Canobie puts allot more thought into what they pu tin. They dont work of the SF mantality of through in a clone and get the asses in the park.

Whens the last time Canobie put in a coaster?

nearly 10 yaers ago. but they have added 11 rides since then. not to mentin many landscapign emprovment and the Jackpot Casino.

i would hope canobie doesnt get a clone. customs are better.

..and lets not forget the one they ruined in 2000/2001..

Galaxy...R.I.P

Yes customs are better. Galixy was better before. but it looks beter now. all they need to do is remove the bracks. but ten the computer system woudl get screwed up

Well of course customs are better but, the park will get what they can pay for and sometimes thats a clone.

i think canobie could afford a custom. theyve prob been savin up for a while.

They can aford a custom without putign a dent in their walets. its mor eof a mater of getign all three owners to agree on the adittion. they woudl have a wood twister by now if CCi didnt go out of buisness.

CCI isnt the only wooden coaster company out there. Their coasters are good for a few seasons then they get horribly rough an example of this is Villain at WoA.

CCI isnt even in business anymore, so a Custom is out. Unless that "Gravity Group" makes some.

Have you ever heard of GCI, INTAMIN, or S&S? A custom is always a possibility.

Red - they were going to get one from CCI. they designed a coaster for us. but before we coudl preses with it they closed. PAul - Ther is a bosibility the origanal design coudl be used beign built by Graxity cgroup of S&S. and red - yes a custom is possibel and is what is wanted byuthe park they want somthign that only they woudl have. so not getign a CCI was probubly in the best. I personaly would liek to se Intamin. somthing liek Balder but with a stronger twister element.

If canobie got i nice wood twister id be there in a second

How much is the park willing to spend for a new ride or coaster? Do they have land for the ride or do they have to remove something?

It depends on the Owners at the time. they spend 1.2 million of starblaster and Jungle bounce. they have the money put aside. they have instaled new rides every year fo rthe last 4 years. they pay for everythign they buy cash. HTey still have Corkscrew field and the ball field open. thou I wouldnt mind seeign them remive the Canobie 500.
