For the hotel question . . .
To get to Canobie, you take Exit 2 off Route 93. If you take a right off the exit (heading to Canobie), there is a Red Roof Inn (1-603-898-6422) on the right hand side. If you take a left off the exit, there is a Holiday Inn (1-603-893-5511) and Fairfield Inn (1-603-893-4722) on the left (Keewaydin Drive).

Can't make the meet - will be in Florida!

Thanks Diane. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you guys again. It will most likely be just DW and me this time.

Just a note for those staying at the Red Roof Inn - turn right when you get off exit 2 in Salem. At the next set of lights, take a right onto South Policy Street. The driveway for the Red Roof Inn will be the first on the right. You can see it from the highway but have to make those couple of turns to get to the motel.

Just bumping us up in case there are some last minute people that want to join the fun!!!!

 

[MEG&MINNIE]

Any other N.E. Disers out there ...I've marked my date,lets hope that the weather cooperates !!!Can't wait

 

[threeboysmom]

Just a few weeks away until Cannonball time!!!

Hey Daviedude! Why don't you park your car at my house and drive down with us? You can be subjected to the very wild & crazy drivings of Mrs. Pink! More thrilling than any ride you'll find at Canobie Lake Park!

But honestly, there's no point in both of us making the drive down when you practically go right by my house on your way down....

 

[BouncingTigger]

Oh I can see it all now...Mary Ann, Julia, me, Katie, George and Karen all together...too funny. Keep in mind, Karen is planning on staying until they kick her out, and I did make a promise that I would stay too!!! George still hasn't made up his mind yet...I'm not sure he would stay until the bitter end. So he may be better off just staying at home. But, maybe his knee will be better then...he is having arthroscopic surgery on it next Friday. He is telling everyone that I killed his knee in WDW two weeks ago...so not true. It was on it's way out anyway and he really needs a total replacement. I was just trying to get it moved up a bit!!!!

wait wait wait wait WAIT!!!!! Oh-Boogie-full one is riding with us?? COOL!! We can sing the Buffard song the entire way there!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! o, I mean woo.

 

[BouncingTigger]

Yooooooo Hooooooooooooo!

Let's get some of you out to CLP
Remember, you don't want to go without your DIS buddies--we know all the CLP secrets--like how to avoid Bozo ,
Jean

ooh, very good very good! Bozo scares me...

 

[BouncingTigger]

Katie too!!! That Karen is a 'child thief' I tell ya. She offers to take your 'child' on a rollercoaster and when she brings 'em back to you, the kid is no longer a 'child', afraid of rollercoasters!!! But a grown-up kid, looking for more and more excitement!!
For a moment there I thought you were posting to tell us you weren't going Maryann!!!! Phew...glad to see that's not the case.

nope, I'm not going on that stupid turkish twist thing!!!!!

[goofy4tink]

Okay everyone...time to start thinking more concrete here. What time do you all want to meet up? Some of us are planning on staying for the entire day, in order to do the fireworks at the end...a long day. Last year we all met up just inside the entrance, beside the carousel...then some formed groups and went off, and we all met up again later. Anyone know for sure what time the park opens?

 

[threeboysmom]

nope, I'm not going on that stupid turkish twist thing!!!!!

I'm with you! That Turkish Twist thing is EVIL, I tell you, EVIL!!!!!!! And to think I used to love that ride when I was a teen. My sister and I used to do handstands when it first started so that we would be hanging upside down when it really got going! (I don't think they allow that now, LOL!)

Hello,

If us new folk (well, new to DIS boards, longtime amusement park/roller coaster fan) are welcome, I may be joining you. In response to the question of park hours from a couple of posts ago, the park's web site lists 11am to 10pm. Usually this is pretty accurate, as the park has the same hours everyday during July and August.

I've organized meet-ups at this park for coaster enthusiast groups and have always found that having at least two meeting times is beneficial. The park offers a discounted admission after 5pm, so I recommend one of the meet times be around 5:30pm or 6pm. Typically, meets that I've organized have been at the entrance area of Yankee Cannnonball. The carousel is a good landmark, but it's right near the park entrance, so if you have a meet time at opening, it might be difficult to get the group organized in that location. The Rowdy Roosters ride is another good central landmark, and it's a little more out of the way at that time.

That's my two cents. If I can make it, I look forward to meeting some of you. If not, have a good time at my favorite New England amusement park.

-Jason

I did read on their web site that the park opens @ 11am($27.00) and as another poster wrote...discount admisions after 5pm ($17.00). The park looks like it closes @ 10pm.Discount admission for children under 48 in tall !!! Hope this helps

 

[daviedude]
