Thanks for covering our little park. Oaks isn't much, but it's all we've got in PDX

[@ShadezParks]

I drive to wild waves but dats about it

[@StamfordBridge]

Enchanted Forest a bit to the south is fun.

[@ShadezParks]

@@StamfordBridge creepy and not really any good rides in my opinion

[@StamfordBridge]

@@ShadezParks Well, it’s aimed at younger children, obviously, but I found it quirky and charming. Wild Waves I found a bit depressing. One decent woodie that runs way too slowly, and one fine but old Arrow. The rest feels like a barren waste. 😝. To each their own.

[@ShadezParks]

@@StamfordBridge yeah but in my opinion for thrills enchanted forest doesn’t deliver thrills as much as wild waves not saying wild waves in top tier because it just is not compared to a park like cedar point but wild waves is just better for thrills. But enchanted forest wins in the theming department.

I love oaks park, I live in Washington so it’s abt 35 minutes away from us, we’ve been there abt 3 times, it’s amazing

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@bingcherry1122]

Don't forget their truly wonderful roller rink with live old time organ music!!!!! There are few places in the world you can get that!!!!

[@CanobieCoaster]

The rink does look cool if you know how to skate.

[@bingcherry1122]

I learned to skate when I was 16 years old. The Senior Camp Counselor encouraged me teach myself how to skate. And I did that. During the first skate session I skated around in the side lines. I skated just like Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason - The Honeymooners). kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYLSZIOla8-WfLs Then I surprised the Senior Counselor by asking him is we could please stay for the next Roller Skating Session. I was now ready!!!! During the Second Session during the "Couples Only" session I asked a really cute girl if she would skate with me. She said yes!!! We had a great time skating!!! If you ever take up Roller Skating make sure to buy a pair of custom made Roller Skates for yourself. Trust me you will enjoy skating a lot more in your own very comfortable roller skates. I live on the East Coast, but if I am ever in that area I will stop by on Organ Music Night!!!!!@@CanobieCoaster

I love me some Rock O'Plane. I miss this ride so much in the Michigan area and that lighting package of red, white, and blue. The best Lighting package when it comes to old-school flats is the Double Ferris Wheel. As much as I miss them, the new school LEDs are gorgeous.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I still wish I could have tried one of those sky wheels.

[@rcnyoplait]

Thank you for reviewing. I'm glad the weather was good for you! Please come back to our city whenever you can :)

[@CanobieCoaster]

I come back every few years for work.

[@easynhonest]

👍That 180 and 360 option on AtmosFear is a great idea, do many parks do that? I guess you're looking forward to a Rock-O-Plane being added to Knoebels antique ride collection in 2024😎.

[@CanobieCoaster]

A lot in Australia did the mild and wild option.

[@travisvanalst4698]

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently and your content definitely made me subscribe! That being said, I find it funny that Zamperla has all these good flat rides in the country and Cedar Point looked at them and said “yep. You guys get to redo one of the tallest, fastest, and most complex rides in the world” 😂😂

[@CanobieCoaster]

Zamperla has been beefing up their coaster division, but that was a lot of trust.

[@micoasters]

Just got home from getting my legs obliterated my magnum and steel vengance to see this was uploaded, now I have something to watch

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy! I'm guessing you're on the taller side?

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I should go to this place one day.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's worth a visit.

[@MrJohnjohn25]

I loved the older riders with I was younger. It's just not the same anymore 😪 same with the food

[@myopnonmusic5525]

in upper clements park there was a rock o plane, I did it when I was 8 but we never let it go upside down because I was too scared to let it do that, second time we went it was down for maintenance, and unfortunately the park closed 2019, its good to see that rock o planes are still around

[@CanobieCoaster]

Wish I could have made it there.

[@myopnonmusic5525]

@@CanobieCoaster it wasnt much compared to American parks, but it was one of the only coasters within 5 hours of me, it was a great time and I still miss it

[@tonkafiredepartment6395]

Scream'n Eagle was shut down because one of the restraints had a tendency to disengage while the ride was operating. That was also during my first season working there.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh my! Atmosfear is better anyway.

[@koodoin6310]

I remember years ago i went on screaming eagle and it was on a really busy Saturday and i think they were short staffed or something because they had maintenance crew running some of the rides and i don’t know what was going on inside this maintenance guys head but he like overclocked the ride or something because it felt downright dangerous and i loved it plus he ran the ride for twice as long ive never experienced such an intense ride on screaming eagle ever again and i miss it

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh wow!

[@Xhadp]

Interesting list. Disco, I will never understand why anybody loves this. The back digging restraints make this super awful to experience. I don't know if they've updated it or if it just my slender frame since I've ridden it but they need to figure out something because otherwise that is sticking on my hated list. Up Up and Away. Its. . . fine? Haven't ridden it that much but would like it to have a bit more of an insane element vs. other rides like Scrambler or Rock 'n Roll.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I love how easily I can spin the balloons. The disko restraints don't bother me.

[@ziggy_zagg]

I went on the screaming eagle before they took it down it was a pretty good ride screamed a lot throat hurt really bad after 😄

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer the new frisbee they added.

[@4Corry]

Would you do one for Wild Waves?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, later this week.

[@4Corry]

@@CanobieCoaster have you been there before?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm actually a 2023 season passholder to Wild Waves

[@4Corry]

@@CanobieCoaster yeah and I saw you’ve already don’t some videos regarding it so no need to ask. I also have a season pass along with my dad. I’m probably gonna use it 3 times as I live 3.5 hours from there. I only ordered the season pass because there was a deal where the season pass was actually cheaper than 2 tickets and you could bring a guest with it one time even and so my dad and I brought my sis and her bf. I hope you feature the Timberhawk in your countdown as its the best ride there. Will water rides be included like with Silverwood and because of that will it be a top 15?

[@harikanaidu_]

Hi can anyone tell me the price details… Need to buy each ride ? Or single ticket for all rides ?

[@CanobieCoaster]

You need a wristband for most rides. The train and Carousel are free.

[@harikanaidu_]

@@CanobieCoasterthank you

[@mitchellries256]

Now that's a surprise. I thought for sure Adrenaline was going to be number one.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was close.

[@birdlovesart]

my best friend told me about this pne time she saw a kid do the spider man on zero gravity 💀

[@CanobieCoaster]

Most parks don't allow you to climb the walls on round-ups anymore.

[@StamfordBridge]

I was excited to check out the historic roller rink at this park, but I have to say I was pretty disappointed by what I saw.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't hear the band organ promised in Great Old Amusement Parks.

[@StamfordBridge]

@@CanobieCoaster Exactly my source of expectation!!!

[@ShadezParks]

Rock o plane I was scared so I didn’t flip so it’s 4 on my list there

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's fair. I have to flip to make it fun.

[@ShadezParks]

@@CanobieCoaster yeah next time I will probably
