Have you ever ever questioned what occurs to retired sights? Through the years, Canobie Lake Park in Salem, New Hampshire, has seen many modifications to its sights. Once I say modifications, it may very well be a retheming, a brand new look or title, or the attraction was taken out of the amusement park.

One of many rollercoasters at Canobie Lake Park was round for a few years however in 2021 it was time to say goodbye to the attraction. I’m speaking in regards to the metal rollercoaster that despatched you the other way up, the Corkscrew.

Personally, I had a love/hate relationship with the Corkscrew (okay, “hate” could also be too robust of a phrase, however you get my level). I bear in mind seeing folks sitting there whereas the rollercoaster was caught the other way up a few occasions in my youthful days, so it wasn’t till 2019 that I made a decision to lastly go on the attraction. Due to this fact, my time with the Corkscrew wasn’t very lengthy, however once I did lastly go on it, I cherished it.

When you had been a fan of Canobie Lake Park’s Corkscrew, or simply wish to relive some recollections by seeing it once more, you should have your likelihood however you’ll have to fly (or take an extended drive).

In line with the National Roller Coaster Museum and Archives’ Facebook page, the Corkscrew shall be getting a brand new house.

That is proper, Canobie Lake Park donated this iconic attraction and the Corkscrew is shifting to Texas to be in a rollercoaster museum.

In line with the National Rollercoaster Museum, they intention to “uncover, protect, interpret and share the historic heritage of the curler coaster for current and future generations. […] to guard these artifacts and make them accessible to those that love curler coasters and amusement parks.”

With 5 truckloads of rollercoaster components, who is aware of how lengthy it might take for them to place all of the items again collectively? Once they do, the Corkscrew will once more change into a landmark for the world.
