"Untamed" - Eurofighter for Canobie Lake Park

[ECG]

While trying to catch up on news that happened while I was in Germany I noticed that Canobie Lake is getting a new Eurofighter for 2011 called Untamed. They have this on the park's website:

This will be the 3rd installation of the 320+ model in the world (after Rage & Falcon at Duinrell), the 1st in the USA & the 4th Euro fighter to come to America. It's also the first new coaster to debut at the park since the Canobie Corkscrew opened in 1987.

LOL at the bear! <3

Anyway, looks quite standard, but I like Eurofighters, so that's a good thing =]

Yay, etc.

Rage clone.

Could be good... Rage is pretty fun...

Yeah I like these, they're cute an all that. I just think the loop is a bit too big for how small the whole ride is.

Never the less, these are always good additions to pretty much any park.

^Well I think a large loop is an easy way to make a big impression. Just imagine the talk in the park: "Wow, look at that big ass loop! Omg, I wanne ride it!!" It aint always about what rides the best but what looks the best (read: most impressive).

I think a Eurofighter is a good choice for a park that hasn't had a new ride in a long time. It's not the most exciting ride, but a good addition, and reltively easy to theme.

Clones

I don't like clones. I'm prejudiced against them. I like to go on original and special designed rides only. I'll go on coasters that are identical but released at the same time, but not clones. I have been on Batman at GADV, but that was the original clone for that group, so it's all good for me.

 

[Tomatron]

^That's just daft.

If a ride is awesome, I'll go on it no matter how many times it's been reproduced.

This should be a great little ride for the park. Rage was good fun, so I see no reason why this won't be as well.

Who did the drawing of the station? looks like a 10 year old drew it lol

 

[ECG]

Canobie Lake has posted station construction photos on their facebook page. It's looking exactly like the sketches they released.

^That is one tiny drop tower.

Otherwise, this looks pretty good and a good addition for the park

 

[ECG]

Yeah. They have strict height restrictions at Canobie Lake, which is why the coaster will be quite small (compared to other Eurofighters) as well.

 

[Dave]

Jeez these models are all the Rage.

Har har

^I think Erol hacked Dave's account.

new

A standard 3-inversion eurofighter can do a lot of good for the park, considering they haven't had any new coasters this will give the some needed buzz.

 

[Martyn B]

^That is one tiny drop tower.

It is but I bet it packs one hell of a punch!

 

[Jake]

How dare they get a clone? I mean, all the residents in New England are BOUND to have been to Southend and the middle-of-nowhere in the Netherlands. How do the park think they're going to get away with this?

 

[oriolat2]

I think this is the perfect fit for a park in need of a new decent coaster. We know this is not the tallest, fastest or most thrilling Eurofighter, but I guess it will do wonders to Canobie, since their last coaster was built in 1991, and the last decent coaster back in 1987...

Cheek....

I would NEVER say "har har"
