Not that long. Canobie allows you to sit one to a seat. SFNE didn't They would waist time teaming people up and waiting to get a second person.

While Wipeout isn't the fastest loading ride in the park it's rarely more then 2-3 minutes load time.

Lucky for you. Usually I end up waiting around 4-5 minutes while Wipeout loads, but I will admit that it is getting faster each year.

As for the double rider policy, that is very similar to the Trabant at The Great Escape as that one had the same policy when I rode and it caused the loading process to be much longer.

TGE didn't have that rule in the past. I road a couple years back by my self. My groups often end up in odd numbers. it's a SFI thing not a Safety recommendation from the company. if it was Canobie woudl be enforcing it.

Canobie dose however try and balance the ride as much as possible so they will move groups if the balance looks too shifted to one side.

Yeah I have had to move before to help balance Wipeout out last time I went.

i have seen days were they have tried to ask guests to go to specific cars to make things go quicker but they rarely listen.

I honestly prefer Nightwing over Enterprise because of the fun and comfort


There is nothing comfortable about Nightwing, it is like being trapped in a middle age torture device.

There is also nothing fast about Canobie's loading times.

I mentioned that in an earlier post I slid around quite a bit on Lake Compounce's Enterprise. Also, I didn't find Nightwing to be that uncomfortable at all because it was well padded.

That's true for some rides like the Rowdy Roosters, Psycho Drome, the Giant Sky Wheel, and sometimes DaVinci's Dream and Wipeout, but other rides like Star Blaster, the Crazy Cups, and Over the Rainbow have very fast loading times.

I can't argue on that since the rides you mentioned as quick I didn't try and the slow ones are the ones I rode. the flume was also terrible as they kept sending out boats no where close to full.

That's been the case for a while, Especially now that they have On ride Photo's/ But then I haven't seen any parks now a days loading boats to Full capacity outside of Disney. Downfall is it's one of the most Popular rides in the park. If they were to add say a Rapids ride The line would likely thin out a bit.

It's rare to Find a Park thats on there game at every ride. But some are just terribly all around. Nightwing is one of them. I'm not fond of the way Canobie operates Mine of Lost Souls either.

Yeah the Mine of Lost Souls' line and capacity is pretty bad.

The Flume however has a very fast moving line now that all the boats are running. Even if the entire queue is full, the wait is around 30 minutes. Usually though I end up waiting 15-20 minutes, which is definitely worth it.

On busy days even after Canobie got all the boats on the line was often upwards fo 45 minutes. A number fo times this last year the wait was near a hour with all the boats on.

What they need is a new attraction in that area with solid capacity.

Well, I went twice this year on a Tuesday and Thursday, which made the Flume's wait shorter than it was when I went on the two Fridays last year.

I agree about a new attraction going there.

I went 7 times in 2007 every trip but one was a saterday. The one dy I went that wasn't a saterday, It was a thursday trip. Still moderatly busy. I waited 40 minutes for both Mine of Lost Souls and Policy flume.

One easy way to get another Family ride into that section would be to move or remove The Land Sea Rescue kiddie ride. That area Could fit a solid Family attraction.
