???? - Wooden Coaster - Rumor - (9/13/06) Sources tell us that the park still wants to build a new wooden coaster eventually. However with all the projects set up for 2007 (New Entrance, Frisbee and possibly a new ride to replace the outgoing Matterhorn) the new coaster may have to wait a few more years. Sources tell us that the park has been in discussion with both Great Coasters and Gravity Group about possible designs. We’ve also heard that they’ve given reference to wanting something similar in size/design to the Excalibur at FunTown. (1/2/06) Screamscape has been informed that Canobie Lake may be shopping around to find a good deal on building a new wooden coaster in the future.
