I have no idea if it's true or not, so I don't really want to start rumors. But, I did hear about Bobsleds possibly going after this season. If it's true or not, I have no idea. Have no idea what (if anything) would replace it.

its a rare occasion when i ride bobsled so it wouldnt be that much of a loss for me.....
my ideas based on the picture is that ferris wheel be relocated to a spot (no specific spot in mind... just a good spot, nice views, you know...the usaul) along with the removal or go karts, and bobsled, but still keeping the pirate.
i would use the highlighted are for either a full coaster, or a compact coaster with 1 or 2 GOOD flats. (no specific types of coasters in mind...) the track in reality could hop over the path near the ferris wheel that goes down to SWK and the coaster could have a turn around or helix section or something like that in the area behind raging river and behind the picnic grove (although, it might be a bad idea to put a coaster close to a picnic grove when coasters are usaully loud) or my other thought would be to place a compact smaller coaster in the area of bobselds and go carts and work in a few small flats or 1 or 2 larger ones...... the space between the bobsled and go karts is pretty significant when you look at it in person...

wouldnt mind seeing somthing like a eurofighter where bobsled/go carts and but a flat or two behind where the ferris wheel is. then, you could connect ghost town to the new flat(s)

Medusa would not fit were bobsled is. even with taking out or relocating neighboring attraction there isn't enough space.

A euro fighter would be a good move. They take up little space. they could get a custom design to use the space fully. also the coaster is very quiet.

whether of not it closes after 2012 or not the coaster is on it's last leg. it's got too narrow of an operating schedule and the coaster is just loud. There is also not much draw for the attraction. It is a lot of fun but i would not tell any one they need to travel to ride it.

Euro fighters are popular and can be very thrilling. If bobsled does get taken out after this season, i feel like we wont get anything until 2014 because of the 60th anniversary

I can see an El Loco replacing it if the rumors are true!

always wanted to go on one of those but they dont seem to be the fastest coasters in the world and capacity isnt the best. imo a eurofighter would be a better replacement for bobsled

I never even thought of a eurofighter. That would be a great addition. Whatever we get and I hope we do get something, it would be nice to get something fairly unique. Is Canobie the only other park in the northeast that has a eurofighter?

Why doesn't someone just call and ask where it's going. Solve this problem easy.
