    The new slides are really coming along! they already have the foundation and are about to set up the tower.

    This is a new topic describing one of the larger parks in new england that no one seems to discuss.

    Their rides maybe, they are pretty small size wise. but they are moving along quickly

    Hopefully after this they will buckle down and really focus on the dry park.

    I really think they will. Everytime i visit there FB page regular guest are always asking when they will get another coaster or looping ride.

    There have so much land. They should do something.

    now that isn't something I want to see. the park needs to expand with a few rides. and adding a coaster unless it's more of a kiddie one is too much. as for an inverting flat they need to get something better then another carnival ride.

    This list would take then 15+ years at least. They have a habit of investing around a million then nothing for 2-3 years. They need to do a major expansion that add a water ride. if they add a water ride they really should do it right.

    as for advertising they do a pretty good job. I see adds at Cinimagic in Merrimack NH. I have friend in Candia that see adds in there local paper and I know they advertise in Portsmouth. Keep in mind they are right on the highway in a tourist area which helps then get a lot of traffic without marketing.

    BizzaroAJ - it is an impressive slide and they are building it into the old picnic ground/oval cart track so they are really expanding the water park this year.

    I would like too see an 8 lane racer at SFNE.

    Having it open for opening of Splashtown has been the plan all along.

    What still has yet to be done is the new Corporate picnic grounds.. but I would assume that is not in demand till summer and end of season.

    There not in a rush to do that. Once they get it finished they will throw that together.



    Did anyone hear about the real graveyard that they had to remove for this? There is an article online about it.

    Oh thats what it was.

    The park has now started setting up the slides land pads for the racers. he foundations are finished and the new buildings just got there walls up. They are now starting to put up support beams! You can look up the pictures on there facebook page. They are also promoting something called new fun town. not sure what it is.

    But the commercial for the slides came out really nice. That is also on the fb page.
