[@BenLaurence]

lol thanks! Hope you enjoyed the video

[@MatrixRefugee]

Wow! been forever since I've been to Canobie Lake Park, but this vid brings back a lot of memories. Glad to see some of my old favorites are still there (Hope they leave that iconic fountain!). Last time I was there was back in the late 1980s when I went with our town's Camp Fire troop. I will have to go back there soon, preferably during Screeemfest. Funny story: I was such a scaredycat back then, I shut my eyes the whole time going through the Mine of Lost Souls. Thanks for filming it, so I can see what I missed out on (these days, I'd be gosh-wow-love this thing! over it. How we change as we grow up...) And the haunted house used to be called... the House of the Seven Gables, after the spooky house in another town called Salem in the neighboring state of Massachusetts.

[@BenLaurence]

Glad I could bring back some memories :) the fountain is staying and screeemfest is awesome. Filmed a video there a few years ago and might do it again. Lol the mine is so much fun! It’s definitely pretty creepy, even as an adult. Someone else recently left a comment about the hold haunted house and now I want to do some research about it for a potential video

[@101SKCintros]

Canobie lake park is the best I usually go when I take a trip to NH for my birthday

Low key though, kinda wish I fit in the kiddie canoes. I’m a sucker for boat rides. I mean Rudy’s rapid red hot rocking around the Christmas tree spin out roller coaster of doom is pretty lit 🤔 definitely a close call

The phsicodrome thing is almost like the flower building in Epcot (Disney World) they hold the flower festival, or part of the flower festival there.

[@BenLaurence]

[@BenLaurence]

I’m a little south of Boston and try to make it every summer, it is definitely an awesome place

[@mrceagle]

Always good to see someone enthusiastic about Canobie. The dark ride that used to be on the midway was called the Swamp. an old Pretzel dark ride you can actually ride the cars today since they make up some of the cars for the Spookarama Dark ride At Deno's Wonderwheel Park in Coney Island. One correction though Canobie has 4 coasters. I know Dragon is not a big coaster but it still counts. I also miss the Tiki Maze

[@BenLaurence]

YES! Love Canobie!! Thanks for the info :) I love hunting down old ride remnants like that Yeah i didn’t count the dragon cause it’s like a kiddie carnival coaster Definitely miss the tiki maze, still can’t believe they got rid of it

Hi Ben, the SWAMP, was the midway dark ride there. I operated it in the summers of 1973 and 1974. A game called QUICK WIN was to the left of the SWAMP and my Dad ran that game.

[@BenLaurence]

Whaaat that’s awesome! Is there any footage or photos of the ride? That must have been pretty cool working near your dad

Thanks. The location is in the title and I say it right at the beginning of the video 😂😂 and no I don’t. I’m from Massachusetts haha

[@heatheralfano1871]

Thank you so much for filming and posting this! What a trip down memory lane. I grew up in Salem and haven’t been there in many years; this video was like a hug for my nostalgia! So many sweet and goofy memories from growing up related to that park! And legit until I entered high school, I didn’t realize that people outside of Salem/the surrounding towns actually came to or even knew about it 🙈 (But since then obviously I’ve learned mostly everyone in New England has heard of Canobie so it’s an easy identifier to prevent people from mixing it up with Salem, Mass 😂) Oh yes the food is a *complete* ripoff-except the fried dough is the shit, if they still sell it-and so so so not worth the price. Go literally *anywhere* in town for lunch, like Kashmir or Maddie’s, or pack lunches in a cooler and eat in your car if you don’t want to lose your parking spot. P.S. good thing you didn’t go in the water because Canobie Lake is the town’s water source, so swimming/going in it is prohibited! And rip the Tiki Maze 🙏

[@BenLaurence]

YES Canobie Lake Park is the best, love that place so much. Salem is a very nice town as well. Lol yeah the food is really good though! Rip tiki maze 😭 that place was awesome!

Sorry for spamming coments but last week is was about 7 pm and there was no line for the log flume so the workers let me and my brother stay on a bunch of times!

Not spamming at all. I very much appreciated comments that are related to the video/subject of the video. Haha too funny, I love when the workers just let you stay on rides

[@bakedpotato3458]

I really like mine of lost souls too but sometimes to make it even better I go later on in the day like 1-2 hours before closing but it improves it because it’s dark out and when the characters have lights on them it really make them stand out

[@BenLaurence]

YES the mine of lost souls is fantastic! Best ride in the park

[@LaurenRichardi]

2:97 you're talking about the Haunted Mines of Lost Souls. I have been to Canobie Lake Park, and that scary ride once. When I went my middle-school chorus class, my friend and I tried the haunted mines ride and we both petrified! Lol
