[@Soxfan1998]

That was actually a mini cart ride similar to the canobie 500. It was a kiddie rail kart ride

[@charlieg1661]

You should REALLY do a history video in Storyland, Glen NH- That would be so cool! They have a book you can buy that has LOADS of the parks history!

[@BenLaurence]

I was thinking about it for a while but can’t quite figure out how I would do it. I don’t think there’s enough stuff to show for that one. It be mostly a slide show type of video. I do really want that book though, I sought in the gift shop and almost bought it

[@charlieg1661]

@Ben Laurence I have the book. Its actually loaded with a good amount of pretty intresting history! PS: SORRY FOR CORRECTING YOU ON SOMETHING OTHER THANK THE TRAIN!! 😬😂 here’s an online version of the book: books.google.com/books?id=MUrZh-CtW8IC&pg=PA102&lpg=PA102&dq=Sharyn+Ekberg&source=bl&ots=dwjBakTf6s&sig=ACfU3U3lOjZEcQ8jBDLAFpGHs4PHNuN_WQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiOpvWsj9HjAhVPtlkKHW2cAnkQ6AEwBXoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=Sharyn%20Ekberg&f=false

[@mollydonovan5642]

Fun fact about the caterpillar ride at Canobie: The caterpillar ride used to be a very common ride in the US after it’s debut in the 1920s. However, there are only two remaining caterpillar rides in the US, including the one at Canobie.

[@BenLaurence]

Thanks for the info!

[@TheRealKissyRee]

My mum's friend said teens used to make out on the Caterpillar ride.

[@jeffmurdock3072]

I worked summers at Canobie Lake Park 1963-1966. I remember when they bought & installed the Rubiks Cube light/speaker system. The Wurlitzer Band Organ, Model 153 on the Merry-go-Round is the original organ on that ride I believe. A special band organ maintenance man would come from out of state yearly to check & replace payers as needed. During my time working at Canobie I had the opportunity to go back stage at the Ballroom where I’d see old posters on the was of musical groups (1940s +) that had entertained there. I had seen Herman’s Hermits & The Searchers play at the Ballroom. Other groups I remember that played there were The Loving Spoonful, The Who, & Gene Pitney, Sonny & Cher (I saw them walking through the park by the wooden structure roller coaster). These were all Friday night events with WBZ Radio personality Dave Maynard as program host. I had also attended a high school prom at the Ballroom. The windows overlooking Canobie Lake offer a nice view of the Lake during evening events. Wednesday nights was fireworks night.

[@noreastdiztravlr6234]

You are correct at 7:24 and the train did loop around the way you mentioned.

[@BenLaurence]

Thanks! After poking around the station I figured it out. I haven’t been on the train in years!

Right!? Isn’t that cool

[@anthonycata9419]

Didnt know the spaceship was still on property, that's awesome! Couple things you could've included, the original stone entrance over by the Mexican restaurant over by the dance hall I believe( there is a plaque somewhere over there ) the carousel is one of the oldest park attractions.. built in 1903 and I believe brought to the park in 1906. Another quick tidbit about your (actually our fav ride )is policy pond was the original name of canobie before it was renamed , hence the name for the Policy Mining Co in the mine of lost souls and also the Policy Pond log flume.

[@BenLaurence]

Thanks for the info!! I was going to include the original entrance as a bonus fact but just decided not to. I mentioned something about the carousel in the previous Canobie Lake Park video. Huh I never put 2 and 2 together! Now seeing Policy everywhere makes sense lol

[@Coasterdude02149]

Huge trip down memory lane, dude. I grew up going there. Whenever my dad would take me I felt like I was going to the best place on earth. I remember the swimming pool on the left when you'd first enter the park, I remember the Swamp ride heading towards Yankee Cannonball, think it was before the Calypso -is that still there? The Galaxy was my very first roller coaster, was really sad to see that one go. The Whip was somewhere up front. There was a roller skating rink down back by the theatre somewhere. It has changed so much...last time I was there the line cutting was absolutely obnoxious. But still remember the best times of my childhood there. Really wish someone had video footage of The Swamp, that was so cool. Cheers 🥃🥃

[@TheSuperkooz]

my cousins grew up right near the park, back in the 80's. whenever we went up there in the summer, we'd walk through the woods behind the park, right up to the fence to watch the roller coaster. you could time when you'd see the coaster come down the hill based on the antique cars and when they went by. though i only ever actually went into the park once. great video. it's nice to see regional amusement parks keeping it up against the monsters like 6 flags, busch gardens, disney, universal, etc.

I'm so happy they still have the old nickelodeons in the old train station 7:48 I remember going on the Space Shuttle ride and frankly it was pretty lame. If memory serves, there was a little round screen at the tip that had a video emulation of space travel. It also tilted about 45 degrees up to make it feel like you were about to take off lol Pretty cheesy, as was the Vertigo Theater, which was next to the Paratroopers ride (kind of near the Psychodrome) Didn't know about the 1964 World's Fair light!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

I've been in that rocket ship ride. It was a carnival flat ride. I remember a carnival had one when I was a little kid and I got to ride it. There were a four rows of small seats in it. The walls were carpet. There was a small rear projection movie screen in the front. The rocket tipped up at less then a 45 degree angle and would rotate side to side. It would have been cool if it could barrel roll and send us upside down, but it didn't. It just rocked back and forth. I recall the movie they showed in the front being a complete goofball comedy. They were trying to launch us to the moon, but the rocket went out of control and ended up flying through all kinds of crazy places, like down streets, and through people's houses and stuff while terrified people dodged out of the way. I remember specifically someone opening the front door to their house and us flying right in, up the stars, through the rooms, and out a window, causing chaos the whole way. They definitely went for "goofy comedy" with that rocket ride. I think that there are still operators running that ride too, but instead of using the movie projector and rear projection screen, they just hung a flat screen TV in front of the screen and the video it plays is probably on a computer in it on a hard drive or somethin.

There was a moon orbiter ride. It had red and blue cars and they orbited a moon, I think where Starblaster is now... then there was that rocket ship that raised upward as you sat and they played a dumb movie and that was where the Bear coaster is now. Paratroopers were where Skater is now. I only know rides from 1993 and onward that were replaced. Before that I think they had the scrambler, but not sure where it was...They had the Galaxy Coaster...I think that's part of the water park now. They also got rid of the Corkscrew. Glass maze is gone too! Pool is gone.

Duuude the glass maze was awesome! Rumor has it, they have the whole maze stashed in one of the buildings in the back of the park

They use to have the Komsomo-Jet cars in the backwoods but they either sold them off or people went into the woods and took them. By the way, my first visit to CLP was in 1969!

[@BenLaurence]

Awesome! I bet there are a lot of cool things hidden in the woods at Canobie Lake Park

[@ceciliaburris9206]

I remember back in 2010 they had a swimming pool inside the entrance of the park

[@lunathestoryteller6293]

I laughed when you mentioned the red face. I too hate people with red faces too so weird that someone else has that in common with me. Cool though.😂😅

[@31782mbnh]

I remember the rocket. I remember being too chicken shit to go in it and ride the ride.
