We used to go to this place every year when I was a kid. I loved going there. Glad to see a family run park still in business! Anyone remember when Fantasy Farm was next door?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I don't know of that place.

[@ritamaneata6856]

I LOVE Whale’s Tail. I haven’t been in many years, but I used to frequent Whale’s Tail, Six Gun City, and Santa’s Village on trips to NH. I was happy to stumble onto your video and will definitely be watching more of your videos as Carowinds is my home park.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@mitchellries256]

I'll keep this place in mind should I revisit New England in the future with friends. Perhaps a review of Water Country should come next just to see how it compares to this.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I will soon.

[@mrceagle]

Practically of visiting this over water country would depend on your trip. Whales tale is in the white mountain nit far from Clark's trading post/trained bears and within a hour from Santa's Village and Storyland. Water country is in Portsmouth and if your looking to hit Canobie and Funtown you Practically go by it since it's the southern coast of the state. I've been to water cou ty a couple times it's a large park I've only stopped by whales tale to take picture but all the white mountain attractions have an amazing charm to them and customer service from the mostly family owned parks is great.

[@SlimFury]

I will keep this place in mind as I am considering a trip to the White Mountain region next year.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Well worth checking out.

[@Ky-hc5hw]

loving your reviews of the New England parks! I'm local and grew up going to all these places so brings back great memories. Curious if you would review Clark's Trading Post. It is right across the street from Whales Tale and when I was a kid my family would always take us to Whales Tale for the afternoon discount after spending the day at Clarks. Haven't been in YEARS but I remember Clark's being a pretty weird place... I remember the main attraction was a train ride where a crazy old wolf man with a gun chased us around the outskirts of the park.... Strange stuff lol

[@CanobieCoaster]

I haven't been to Clark's Trading Post in over 20 years. I need to revisit it before reviewing it.

We took our son & his best friend here for a weekend several years ago & it was wonderful. We love NH. We loved this water park. They have excellent drinks & food too. The only thing is it’s a bit smaller of a park & the weather can be cooler. But it was a very nice time.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@Anamenoonewilluse1919]

I love this waterpark so much

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@Android480]

The plunge used to give you these blue mats to slide on, curved at the front like a toboggan. This was my favorite park, specifically because sliding down a steep slope like that head first on your stomach was just something you can’t get anywhere else, super intense. Sad to see it go, but I understand it wasn’t the safest thing.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Interesting! That makes more sense about the start platform now.

[@juliomoebam]

Me and my friends went yesterday and we all loved the downpour slide that you said was slow, it was only slow if you wear a t shirt. But for us we know the proper way to ride slides no shirt and we put most of weight on ankle and shoulder blades and we went flying down the downpour slide and loved it and were violently thrown out at the exit

[@CanobieCoaster]

I went without a t-shirt and still got stuck.

[@pre_s_t]

What sucks for me is that because of my light skin, I usually have to wear a t shirt so I won't get sunburned as bad

[@TheChef420]

I've never even heard of this place but now I want to check it out

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's my favorite water park in the area.

[@alexkivikoski1897]

Hands down my favorite water park because the slides are so unique

[@CanobieCoaster]

The slides are great.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

You go pretty fast on these slides especially that first body slide

[@CanobieCoaster]

This park has several wild slides.

[@bigc1280]

The reason for the awkward runoff on Downpour is that they used to be mat slides. They used to stop the mats in a more gentle way like that

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh that makes sense!

[@dcsmooth]

I went to this park back in the early 80’s as a little kid when it was called Fantasy Farm. It was part amusement park part petting zoo.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Wow!

[@maxhagenauer24]

Banzai looks like the best thing there and what an awesome park, also what do you think of the CP removal of WT announcement?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Wicked Twister was overshadowed by Cedar Point's other coasters, so I'm not surprised it's leaving.

[@noahkessler5500]

This is a weird comparison but this reminds me of my local park in sandcastle. It has a lot of classics for its type but it does have a few new modern slides especially since we’re getting a trapdoor slide for 2022

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've never been to Sandcastle, but that should help its lineup.

[@noahkessler5500]

@@CanobieCoaster recommend it if you’re ever back in the area I like it better than kw honestly but it has a hidden gem in it’s lightning express yellow slide. Imo it has one of the strongest airtime on any traditional freefall slide

[@keithstransitexperiences9749]

Which full ride parks have waivers pre-entry? I'd assume if you need to sign a waiver, you can't be unescorted when you are under 18 because 18 is the mimimum age to sign contracts (waivers included). Also, when I told about this park requiring a waiver to sign to my coworker, I was told by my coworker that he agrees that people should sign a waiver, or at least require people at least 18 to be alone, though some people are different on age to be alone. I was 17 when I went to Six Flags Magic Mountain on 2/29/2020, which wouldn't mean that if someone didn't agree on me being alone, I would be stopped as it was allowed for me to be alone at 17. I had permission by my parents for that as it was understood that my dad likes to go to parks when it isn't too crowded and I wanted to do something for the leap day that Saturday.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I am not sure. I usually see them at mountain coasters and resorts.

[@Kfik2]

For drop pod slides do you prefer proslide or white water west

[@CanobieCoaster]

For me, it usually depends on the drop steepness and slide smoothness.

[@TydalTech]

Do mustang waterpark! It would be a change because it is small! It is in the central coast of CA.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I haven't been!

[@WCfanboy]

Sadly Poseidon’s voyage went down when I was the next person on, and stayed down for the rest of the day. I really liked my day at this park though

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's a bummer it broke.

[@chargedonpc9989]

this place looks good

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@ChipCross]

Up until last year the only thing you needed to sign a waiver for was the flowrider.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Good to know!

[@kingbob8596]

Im waching this because im going to wales tales next week

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy!

[@Cjt2277]

Whale’s tale, Water country or water wizz. Ive been to water wizz twice for my birthday but are the other two better

[@CanobieCoaster]

Whale's Tale is my favorite if you like extreme slides.

[@rmc_fan]

how do i become a water slide enthusiast? most of the knowledge is so obscure, but i want to know more like i do about roller coasters

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'd research the web pages of the different manufacturers.

[@rmc_fan]

@@CanobieCoaster could you give me the names of a few, because the only two i know is white water west and proslide

[@noahkessler5500]

@@rmc_fan they’re the two main. They’re the intamin and b&m of waterparks

[@rmc_fan]

@@noahkessler5500 oh ok

[@TDF_playz]

Going there in about 3 days. Which is the best slide?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Banzai Pipeline and Poseidon's Voyage are the two best slides.

[@TDF_playz]

@@CanobieCoaster Thank you

[@d3th2m3rikkka]

I think most slides are blue because it's themed to whales. Whales are blue, and so is the ocean, so it makes sense

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe.

[@bigc1280]

Also the double down slides were called the Moby Dips, which added to the whale theme.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

Strange that all of these slides are blue

[@CanobieCoaster]

Very

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I’m surprised the logo isn’t an actual whale

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@ElectriKong-]

Cedar Point just announced the removal of Wicked Twister

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, I saw!

[@calebmatthews7980]

idk best but water country>>>

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like this over Water Country.

[@dytamic]

There's no way this park is better than whale's tail

[@CanobieCoaster]

This is Whale's Tale.
