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 concerning the metal rollercoaster that despatched you the wrong 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 individuals sitting there whereas the rollercoaster was caught the wrong 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. Subsequently, my time with the Corkscrew wasn’t very lengthy, however once I did lastly go on it, I cherished it.
