S&S at Canobie Lake?

i was on ultimaterollercoaster.com and i was looking at new rides for 2002 and i saw my homepark has #2 on the list CLP . its the parks 100 year so i new they would get something good .. it is said to be a S&S Double Shot(free fall ride)the name is still unknown and clp's web site has not been updated in over a year... so i hope this ride gets built ...WOW a new face

lol i like TDs way more then SS.its much more fun whenthey hold you at the top of the tower..and the one at canobie if its there(il find out on april 27)will not be that big . i would guess 120ish at the most because the rides at clp are not that big(all under 100FT) and people that live near by would not want 2 see or hear a big tower and theres the lake and sound thing.

I would not hold your breath for a S&S ride a CLP. There is a max height of 80ft at the park. As much as I would like to see something new at the lake, but rich grotchy neighbors will shoot it down. I would look for another flat ride, maybe something by zamperla.

i know CLp has a 80ft hight limit.. but a frog hopper will come ...and in 2003 the flying swings from 2000 will come...the S&S will go by the Cork..or the jets that you fly

what??? the water slide were ment to be in a tube...the log flume is not in a tube at all..and boston tea party ha sa tube on most of its drop to make the wave bigger..thats what hopkins said...because of the tube wind wont slow the boat downmakeing it go faster and the wave bigger
and about screams they could do what DCA did and put covers on the cars or just the side thats near the lake

I was wrong in my earlier post. Even though it is only 80ft tall it could be very fun.

Star Blaster is a very fun ride. I tend to think that the S&S DoubleShot's are much more fun than the other programs. The ride is 100 ft. tall with about 80 ft. of actual drop space.
