  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

The coaster was purchased in 1936 by the owner of Canobie Lake Park and installed here as the “Grey- hound.” The 60 foot tall first hill was destroyed by a hurricane in 1954. In the mid- 70’s, the coaster was renamed the “Yankee Cannonball”. The Yankee Cannonball is known as an “out and back” coaster because of its large “L” shaped layout. The three- car train travels over a track length of 1,840 feet at a maxi- mum speed of 35 miles per hour. The first and highest drop is 53 feet. With a ride time of 52 seconds from the top of the hill to the brakes and 1 min 52 seconds from station to station it has been rated as one of the top ten wooden coast- ers in the country! The Antique Carousel Built in the late 1800’s, the Antique Carousel is the oldest attraction at the Park.
