Lake Winnepesaukah (Lake Winnie) Review | Old-School Amusement Park

Lake Winnepesaukah (aka Lake Winnie) is an old-fashioned amusement park in Rossville, Georgia. This park has some classic attractions including the rare Boat Chute and Cannon Ball wood coaster. And this has been supplemented with some thrilling modern flats. This makes the park well-worth adding onto a trip, and I'll explain why in this review.

This is my new home park and it's cute. It sort of has a low budget Knoebels vibe. You mentioned the idea of combined park trips. If you happen to be someone like me who loves theme parks but also loves aquariums then this area is one of the best in the country. You can visit the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg and then visit Dollywood on a separate day. Then coming through the Chattanooga area you can visit Lake Winnie and the Tennessee Aquarium, which is genuinely one of the best aquariums in America. Then you head down to Atlanta and visit Over Georgia and Fun Spot and then spend a separate day at what is undoubtedly the best aquarium in North America: the Georgia Aquarium. If you like animals in general you could also add on the zoos in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Atlanta (especially for the pandas.) The only place that can rival this area for animals and theme parks combined would probably be the Orlando and Tampa corridor and southern California.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's a fair point about stuff beyond theme parks too!

[@jaimelubin6497]

Anyone who follows this plan and swings through downtown Atlanta could also take advantage of the CityPass. This allows you to experience the Georgia Aquarium or the Atlanta Zoo (you have to pick one), combined with tickets for other attractions like the World of Coca-Cola, the CNN Center, or the Center for Civil and Human Rights. Also, while the World of Coke doesn't have rides per se, it does include a 3D theater with some simulator-like effects.

Always appreciate your well crafted review videos. Definitely will be stopping here when nearby

Thanks!

I love your everyday uploads it gives me something to every day

You're welcome!

Nice job! A group of 150+ of us are going there very soon so I wanted to learn more and you helped indubitably! 👏👏👏 👏 😀

[@CanobieCoaster]

Have fun!

[@TheNinjaDC]

Reminds me a lot of Beech Bend in KY.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Does have some similarities.

[@theweakestlink2278]

Only been here once but we had a good time. Got several rides in on cannonball, wacky factory, and the other rides with little to no wait, and spent a couple of hours in the water park. Its a fun little park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@coastersnthings]

Nice to see this park get some love. It’s actually the closest park to me, and even though I go to Dollywood a lot more, this park still has a neat little charm to it. Also, good job on pronouncing the name correctly this time 😂

[@CanobieCoaster]

I heard everyone's feedback after last time. I said it like a lake in NH mistakenly.

[@coastersnthings]

@@CanobieCoaster Yeah good job, I'll forgive you for that since pretty much, if you don't know how to pronounce it, at a first glance most people won't get it right on the first try 😂

[@teddym2808]

Conestoga looks amazing. I have never seen a Huss Rainbow with the flying carpet seating position. I can imagine! I am bummed I skipped this park now, I could have called ahead to see if the Rainbow was in operation that day. Oh well.

[@CanobieCoaster]

And it runs extra fast too!

[@benreeve7451]

Hoping to get here next year. I only enjoy these old school parks. Probably will all visit Camden Park and Beachbend Park in the same trip.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice! Why do you dislike the larger parks?

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I haven't been here yet. Same issues, that I'm only in the area during times of the year that they're closed. I need to find a way to get out there at some point. I do enjoy these old school parks. I like how you're able to appreciate these smaller places in addition to the high-budget monster parks.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like all parks, big and small.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Canobie Coaster would say: Wild mouse coasters are perfect rides for families. They consist of hairpin turns on the first half and dips and turns on the second half. The turns offer laterals that toss riders sideways, but usually the forces are...

[@CanobieCoaster]

Tolerable

[@jacoboehler]

I love your Waterpark videos and thought your video on Lagoon Amusement Park was incredibly well done. You should come and visit their waterpark Lagoon a beach, Cherry Hill, Splash Summit, and Cowabunga Bay as well! They are all great waterparks!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've heard good things on Cowabunga Bay.

[@TD402dd]

I first attended this park 70 years ago with my first cousins who lived in Trion. It wasn't nearly as large then, but for a four year old it matched anything I had ever been to. I hope it will be there another 100 years, but I suspect a corporate park company will eventually buy it out making it more like Six Flags.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope it continues to stay family owned.

[@thatbruh0429]

@@CanobieCoaster i hope it can stay open in general

[@ndelli23]

I would really love to see you review Lakeside in Denver. I know there isn’t as much incentive to go there with Cyclone SBNO, but if it reopens in the next year or two I get the impression that you’d make a great review. I went there this year without Cyclone and still had a great time.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I am waiting for Cyclone to reopen before going.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Haven’t been here but hopefully you get on Twister whenever you head back

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm 0 for 3 trying to ride it.

[@user-gz1pf9fc1q]

I live less than a mile from Lake Winnie and I will suggest that you can visit Lake Winnie when they open in the summer ok?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I visited the park last summer. Not sure if I'll make it back this year.

I used to ride that Conestoga all the time when it was at Hersheypark

Nice!

[@mateoalvira7826]

I was telling you about how enthusiasts and families get rides on wild mouse coasters for the forces and laterals in this video, that is because of a wild mouse coaster that was removed and relocated. Why was that? Many families found the laterals on that coaster too violent and they could cause pain.

[@CanobieCoaster]

[@mitchellries256]

I am surprised to see a park this small charge a separate ticket for the waterpark, but I feel the same way about how Funtown Splashtown U.S.A does the same thing to, so whatever.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like how they give guests the option.

[@stephenboshears4832]

I would love to see a Eurofighter over the entrance similar to Gatekeeper. The family coaster gap can easily be solved by lowering the height requirement for Cannonball to 42” similar to GASM.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That would be a cool spot for a Eurofighter.

If Stephen King's Joyland had an adaptation I would like it to be filmed here, or well here or at canobie lake park or at lakeside amusement park in Denver

[@CanobieCoaster]

He had a book inspired by Canobie.

@@CanobieCoaster Yes, joyland the one I mentioned And honestly those 3 parks I mentioned would be my options for an adaptation

If I were a credited adult, I still would not do Wacky Worm unless I take my kids to Lake Winnie. The lowest genre of attraction is not intended for singular ridership.

Looks a bit dated maybe the owner needs to get out the golf cart and start fixing it up

[@CanobieCoaster]

I would not mind a little sprucing up, but the dated feel works for this park.
