Best Roller Coaster Lowell Near Me

Kimberly Morey: This is one of my favorite rides at the park! However, due to its “rocks in a blender-like” effect on your head I had to give it 2 stars! If you have a metal plate I’m your neck like me…keep your head as still as possible as this ride WILL make you wish you never rode this but your internal need for adrenaline and fun will make you do otherwise! It’s a love hate relationship!

Amanda Ingalls: It feels like you're flying, it's amazing!! I had the guts to ride it twice, and the second time I even sat in the front row!

Adam Kalai: Very fun short roller coaster. Goes upside down!

Moon: This ride is so fun and smooth the view from the top of the coaster is awesome especially at night. It's a lot more fun at night!.

Myles G.: It Slaps.

Ryan Carmer: Super quick and not the smoothest. Make sure you push your head back during the drop because you’ll bang it pretty hard.

Jenny Hsu: This is the second best roller coaster I ever went on! It is short but when you get up then you drop and then there is like two or three upside down roller coasters loops! My head went from left and right while riding the loops and it honestly hurts!

Aaliyah Wareing: The ride is soo fin it’s just a little scary it’s just once you get used to it you want to go on a second time

Fayyaz Awan: Very nice

DarkWolfAnimations YT: ⛓Short But Sweet⛓

Scott Brown: 👍👍

bowzotie: Short, but great while it lasts. Best coaster in the park and I love the theming! Always has been either a walk on or under five minute wait for me, meaning I can ride multiple times in a row, which makes up for the short ride.

Patch the Velociraptor: Fun fact. The company that made this ride is the same company that made the smiler coaster

Bruce Garlock: 4.5 G's of pure Bliss.

Matt McIrvin: I love this wild little coaster. It's an increasingly popular standard model, a Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter 320+.The thrill that draws people in (or scares them away!) is going up the vertical lift flat on your back, then being treated to a view of nothing but sky as you crest the top, into a drop that is undercut *beyond* vertical. But that drop really only lasts a moment, and my personal favorite part is the big, lazy vertical loop that you go into immediately after that--it's optimized for hangtime rather than for powerful G-forces, and it feels like it goes on forever. It's my favorite inversion on any roller coaster, including some that are iconic for their loops. It's just such a nice experience.After that you go through a quick, small element that seems to divide coaster fans as to precisely what it is (an Immelmann, a cutback, a mere overbanked turn?) In my opinion (was thinking about this when I rode it again last week), it is a true inversion. Whatever it is, it's over in a hurry, then you turn into a fun roll inversion that you have a little more time to enjoy. There's a final ascending helix, then the brakes.What distinguishes this from other Gerstlauers of the same model is the detailed and clever theming: the station looks like a rustic hunting lodge of wood and stone with antlers in all of its de-co-ra-ting, and not only are the trains styled like bears, there are little wood-carved sculptures of bears all around the area. Even the supports are painted to look like birch trunks, to complete the backwoods look.As Fast Lane mentioned, there is a single-rider line: go around the right side to the back of the station. This may save you a lot of time in line, since few people seem to know about it. I've never really had to wait a long time to ride Untamed.

Jamie Knight: Fun, but short.

RANT: After the initial drop it isnt that bad

Casper Frechette: Best ride EVER not that scary for me but for a young kid probably but I highly recommend and once you are on if you don't like it it is over In 2 seconds so yeah AWESOME

Michael Edelstein: Snapped my neck rather strongly on the final twist and a week later still stiff, painful. Unless you are young or invincible skip this one. I can’t say it was worth the lasting consequences.(And it was not just me, as partner Karen had a similar snap but escaped longer term issues--I got off feeling like I had just gone to a bad chiropractor).

Christopher Wise: Very smooth and intimidating for first timers

Kristifer Morency: My favorite roller coaster

Matt McIrvin: This small kiddie coaster is a fairly common Zamperla model with a train themed like a dragon. Like many kiddie coasters, it's a powered coaster, that is, there are electric motors in the train instead of a chain lift or launch. The layout consists of two descending helixes that actually provide a decent sensation of speed. They send you around twice, for a total of four helixes in a ride, which if you think about it is more elements of note than some larger family coasters have. Definitely aimed at younger kids, but their parents will be able to ride along.This particular one was relocated from Deno's Wonder Wheel Park on Coney Island.This was my daughter's first roller coaster and she considers it a sentimental favorite.

Matthew Cotton: Two rides for the price of one!

Evan Lockwood: It’s amazin

Amanda Ingalls: THIS RIDE IS NUTS!! I texted my mom while I was in line for the ride, and according to her, I am "insane". As far as wooden roller coasters go, this is, hands down, one of the wildest. I wanna come back for ScreamFest and ride it again. FIRE IT UP!!

Matt McIrvin: This ride is a historic gem, a 1930s Philadelphia Toboggan Company roller coaster designed by the great Herbert Schmeck. It was originally built for a short-lived park in Connecticut that was killed by the Great Depression, then was reconstructed at Canobie in 1936 in what seems to have been a substantially different form, bending around what is now the Canobie parking lot in an L shape. ("Yankee Cannonball" is actually a relatively recent name; it seems to have been originally called the "Greyhound".)Several years ago this coaster got an extensive retracking and reprofiling that left it extraordinarily smooth for a vintage wooden coaster; it rides like new. That's probably what keeps it such a popular ride. Some enthusiasts have complained that the ride became less forceful after that work, and it's certainly not the most intense coaster in the region, but on my most recent ride it was still packing some force.The lines can get a bit long; this is probably the most popular ride in the park, and they only run one train at a time (ever since an accident some years back in which the two trains collided), which reduces the capacity.

Jayvien Sierra: favorite ride ever tbh

Mutant Rabbit: Fast without too many harsh drops or turns. Fun without being nauseating!

Dusty: Great coaster. A lot of airtime. Seats are squished.

Robin R Johnson: A solid, old school coaster with great balance of shake and comfort. Enthusiastic staff add to the excitement. Tons of fun!

Cat Cat: My favorite ride here for sure!! I dislike roller-coasters that spin too much or go upside down so this was perfect for me. The first drop is scary but the ride is mostly just fun. If you're thinking about going on it I'd say do it!

Kristifer Morency: It's scary

Nash Goldstein: The best ride at Canobie in my opinion. Goes really fast with great drops, and you can get some good airtime too, especially on the first drop.

Ian Wootan: The Yankee Cannonball is well deserved to be a star attraction here at Canobie Lake Park.

bowzotie: Lines can be longer than the rest of the rides at the park, but it's definitely worth it. Great wooden coaster and a historic one.

Tommy: Hands down, the best roller coaster in Canobie Lake Park. It's a smooth ride the whole way though and is very thrilling, from start to finish! It doesn't throw you around like untamed and corkscrew which alone makes it 10x better than both of those.

Scott Doucette: Memories made

Scott Smiledge: Always a fun ride! A new England classic

Evan Lockwood: Grthhyggg

Shrek !: Yankee Cannonball is an excellent vintage wooden coaster! Very Smooth and a decent amount of airtime! Highly recommended in the second to back row. Highly recommended, especially at one of the best small parks in the world!

Killer Kitty Gaming: AWESOME RIDE! Definitely one of the best ones! I also have other favorites :)

josh withe: Lots of fun, go early, the line takes longer than the rest of the coasters at the park

Jacob Vetstein: Super fun wooden roller coaster. It’s a bit rickety but that’s what makes it fun. The line moves slow so get there early. Otherwise a great ride

Lauren: This was the first major coaster I have ever ridden, great ride. Crazy about how well Canobie kept this coaster in shape for all these years!

Cat Cat: Love it! Great for families and you get your photo taken at the big drop, which you can turn into a souvenir. However you will get wet so bring a poncho or buy one near the Boston Tea Party ride.

Jacob Vetstein: Great ride, if you don’t mind getting wet.

Matt McIrvin: Classic log flume ride, good for hot days, though the line can get long. Most of the ride is near ground level; there's a small lift and drop near the beginning, and a larger one near the end.

Patrick Leguis: Wonderful place!

Temp Rogers: Love it

Hairah Nalubwama: Love this place

The_Renegade07: One of the best places I've ever been. Ever. And I've been to a lot of places.

Ahmed Pasha: So much of my childhood was spent here. It's probably not as great as I remember, but damn New Hampshire is lucky to have this.

Fernando Estrada: Lugar muy bonito y buen ambiente

Raquel Reyes: Es muy divertido cuando lo abren y va estar listo para visitar

Chris Cote: Place was great .. The kids loved it .

Andrea Simokonis: Never had a bad time here!

f7i6f67fkh: Fun amusement park

Jake M: Don’t play the games

J D: Not like it was when I was a kid. Lots of rides were closed or not there anymore. They spent way too much money on the outdoor water park area considering you can't use it for more than 3 months out of the year. If they were smart, they would have made that indoors so they could keep the park open year round, or opened up an indoor water park with the Canobie logo. Gotta think year round profits.

Kailea Lewis: I had a blast here, but when I went it was exceptionally crowded and it seemed like no one was wearing a mask at the height of the pandemic. The lines actually moved fairly fast despite this, though.

James LeBlanc: A lot of fun and free parking

Bart VonDoom: I lowered my original rating to two stars as we went for their Screamfest 2022 yesterday (10/09/2022) and it was sadly disappointing. First, I find their no food policy an absolute scam but that's been in place for a while. Now, about Screamfest, they added 5 haunted houses (and I would say 3 of them were great, two of them were just ok) but half of the rides were closed and the park does not open before 3pm yet they still charge you full price for entrance and they don't reduce the park admitance capacity. This results to a ton of people (aka the full park capacity) queueing for 50% of the rides. Result: 1 to 2 hours minimum wait per ride which is totally unacceptable, especially with young kids. We went there during summer, park was crowded but we never had to wait more than an hour for a ride. I honestly feel it was a total rip-off for time and money and clearly we will definitely not be back for Screamfest next year.

Olivia: Went here for scream fest! I've been many times with the school system when I was younger but this was truly a great experience. Can't wait to go back next year!

alexsandra cosme: Always a great experience, perfect for children 14 and under

John Ralphs: Canobie ia always good. Close to home n free parking. Took the kids to Scream Fest this year. Most of the rides were open n got different food all over the park. Played some games too. Canobie never disappoints.

Shelby Suarez: Had so much fun with the kids . Just a little pricey

Zach Costa: overrated but still fun

Robin R Johnson: The best way to start or end your day at The park.

Cat Cat: Nice and scenic. If you want a thrill ride though, this is not it haha.

Brian Lopez: Its really cool

Jacob Vetstein: Such a classic ride, it’s the tallest ride at the park and it offers scenic views of the park.

Matt McIrvin: 80-foot Ferris wheel that I think is actually the tallest ride at Canobie. Good scenic views. Silly dad jokes and trivia quizzes on the electronic sign in the queue.
