Story Land PTR 9-12-09



Wanting to get out for a cheap day a friend and I opted to make our way to Story Land In Glen, NH. I had a season pass and she gets in free since she is in a wheel chair. We didn’t rush out and got to the park around noon. The Weather was nice compared to Southern New England that was being bombarded by rain. At Story Land cloudy and worm a perfect park day. Our day was simple get pictures hit some rides. Just get away for the day. So we set out on our day.





In all we had a good day. I hit a lot of rides while my friend opted to hang back. She rode the Ferris wheel Carousel and train (last ride of the day) that were wheelchair ready, She also road the safari ride.





I hit the Bamboo chutes (Flume) multiple times. I also got one ride on Dr Geysers (Rapids ride), Crazy barn, Flying fish (scooters), Turtle Twirl, the Los Bravos Silver Mine. I took in 13 rides on the Polorcoaster. I also hit all the rides my friend did.









My favorite ride in the park outside of the coaster is the Cuckoo Clockenspeil. The attraction is a custom Tea cup ride. The ride is wrapped half inside and half outside of a custom, in house built giant cuckoo clock.






The park was looking pretty good. After talking to one of the Managers, they said they switched up some of the plants, and it seems to have worked well. The park looks highly landscaped even in the late season. The park was well cared for except for a few walkways that should be replaced by next season.






The live shows were over for the season. We watched the only show they have. Farm Follies is an Animatronics show created specifically for Story Land. It’s a fun show with catchy songs that teach you how things work at a farm.




here is a segment of the show:


One thing I was thrilled about this trip was a few additions made since my last one. They installed all the Statue windmills that used to be in front of the Heritage. 2 were added inside the car ride, one was by the Balloon Race, and another was added in the farm area.





I ask about next year, there are no plans for a new ride setup at this time. That doesn’t mean they won’t get one. The circus show will be back for another season with 3 new acts. The 2 live shows will also be replaced with something new.



In all it was a good day and I hope I can get one more trip in before the end of the season.

I'm glad you actually highlight your home state because I have hope I can pull this trip off one day. My two uncles live near Canobie; I'm due to get Funtown too. The day I was going to do Funtown TS Danny came so I ended up going to Funworld in your town. I finally got to see what Route 3a was all about. That Route 3 crawling is redic in Nashua.

Lol ya Rt 3 can be a bit nuts.

I'm glad you like my report. NH dose have a lot to offer as Amusement parks go. Santa's Village is a great family park as well. Six gun is worth while if you want the credit and like Laser tag or Go carts. Funtown is Fun worth hitting with Palace Playland around the corner.
