Boooo, I wanted a different ride in place. Maybe a roller coaster. lol. The ride looks fun for only the few few seconds, then it must be boring.

So is this kind of like a cross between a Rockin Tug and a Disko?

If so, it would not be boring. I loved both rides.

Im thinking it is just a rethemed Rockin Tug, kinda like Knotts got. Or by the looks of it, it might be a Disko cus it seems like it's a decent size.

I haven't been on either so I wouldn't know what the ride is like.

We don't know that for a fact yet, do we? It has been reported that the park is leasing the ride and has the option to purchase it at the end of the season and make it a permanent addition to the park. I hope they do as it is a great, midly thrilling family ride that would be perfect for Canobie.

Besides the corny paintings of skaters on the side, the ride looks pretty cool.
