Ace Great Nor Easter 2017 @ Canobie

Just got home from Nor'Easter. I didn't take notes but I will try to give some info since nobody has posted yet.

SFNE - of course., highlighted Joker. As we knew it will not open in April. Date to come later. They teased a big announcement coming March 15. Don't know if it is about Joker or something else. They did confirm that STR station is being restored to original condition! YAY!!! Also the entry plaza is being redone to allow bag check and metal detectors to be before ticket scan turnstiles. SFGADV does this and it is vastly superior. Long overdue!!

Great Escape - Pipeline slide on water park.

Edaville - Kersplash coaster is now pushed back to 2018 with the cars being sent to Oregon for rehab.

Canobie - Funny guy doing the presentation. Biggest new thing is a new sewer pipe. Might be a new attraction mid season. Stay tuned.

Lake Compounce - Some new lighting. Major track work for BD and Wildcat.

Santa's Village - 1st time the park presented. Ops manager was passionate about the park and it showed in his presentation. Lots of behind the scenes info but no new attractions.

I am sure others can add more as this was all by memory.

Nice report. Glad to hear Santa's Village resented. Not surprised they are not adding anything. They added attractions the last two years, the you tubing slide hill and the poggie spinning coaster.

Here is what my brother and I got today, pretty cool stuff. So glad I got a Bizarro watch, and the BD parts are pretty awesome! Got a wheel, some restraint mech parts, a chain dog, and a few other things. Great time as always!!

We got some free tix to Holiday World which will save some $ on our planned July trip. There were quite a supply of door prizes this year and with the lower attendance due to the size of the room it was easier to get a good prize.

I won the trivia and got 6 tickets which was awesome. I had a great time at the event. Personally, I prefer it with a larger audience.

^Congrats on the trivia win. Those were really tough questions this year. The very first question knocked out about 9o% of the people!! I am sure the event attendance will go back up when the venue changes to a site that allows members to bring guests. It isn't likely there will ever again be a crowd like there was at SFNE for the WC year. That would take something that had as much interest as WC and that would be tough.

Very true about SFNE. Non of the events have been that large. though Nor Easter has seemed to get more popular then the old days in a Church hall with 50-80 people.
