IMHO Canobie Lake has only a couple of "real rides".  It's a very
small park that's good to take the kids, but it doesn't hold a candle
to something like "Kings Island" Cinn, Ohio or even to Knotts Berry Farm
in Anaheim, CA.

It's got a small roller coaster, a joke of a log ride, a small "steal
roller coaster", and lots of other small rides.  (All IMHO.)
