Canobie Fan Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 So... Yeah.. On Thursday after I got out of school I drove down to some hick town in CT 'east granby' home of some fields, a tree, and a Token Yankee Guy.... On Friday we went up to SFNE to see whats going on with Swat and the wheel being gone.. Mr. Yankee on the way to SFNE. Cyclone getting paint Swat getting work done More Cyclone paint Hmm... Anything missing? and DF slide parts (and yes I know they renamed Swat and DFs for SFNE.. But I like the SFAW names better... So I use them) After SFNE we went up to the old Mt.Park and Mt.Tom area. Mt. Park was an amusement park that closed in the late 1980s and then Mt.Tom was a Ski Area that also had some waterslides it closed in the mid 1990s. Mt. Park is odd.. Not much is left but as you walk around you find piles of stuff.. Like.. Pile of coaster... and Pile of dark ride... Mt. Park photos Pile of coaster.. (Mt Flyer) Mr. Yankees sister playing mini golf... Thats umm... Good to know.. Mt. Tom photos... Old waterslide stuff It was a nice day.. So we went for a dip. Old wave pool Old sign saying what the park had Later that night... We went to Bradley Bowl... Where when an Airplane is landing it sounds like the world is going to end... Lame.. I know :-\ Sexy...Isnt it? Bradley Bowl... And then Saturday we went down to the Lake Compounce winter tour. the first part of the tour wasnt as good as last years.. But after most of the people left.. It was muchh better.. As we got to go more places and see a few more things. Mmm Boulderdash... The new for 05 Anchor Bay Starlight Theater Zoomerangless This year we got to go inside ghost hunt Thunder Rapids Inside BoulderDashs station. Boulderdashs yellow train Enterprise cars And an overview of the park. Oh.. Yeah... I guess I should post a few photos of the new S&S swing? Its big... But just from looks it doesnt seen any taller then Dorneys (but it is) I like the blue.. But not the yellow :-\ Only the cool kids who hung around to the end got to see the seats Box of S&S stuff.. (photo removed.... As it had the parks GMs phone number in it..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam3s Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Looks like Diablo might take longer to get up than I expected. But Swat is going along pretty nicely, (er, 'Splash Water Falls' and 'Catapult'...) Thanks, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Nice to see some pictures of Thunder & Lightning, I had no idea it was almost complete. Can't stand the fact that SFNE has two rides called "splashwater falls".(Just keep the old names!!) Thanks for the photos, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Great TR, James. I got a kick out of that shot of the Rapids' " cement river" snaking it's way along. Cool to see it dry, w/o the fillup it'll get, eventually. Thanks for the Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
