Canobie Corkscrew first operated in 1975 as Chicago Loop at
Old Chicago in
Bolingbrook, Illinois. It was only the second roller coaster in the world to take riders upside down twice. It stayed at Old Chicago until the park's closure in 1980. It was featured in the 1978 film
The Fury. The ride was moved to the
Alabama State Fairgrounds in 1982, where it operated as Corkscrew until 1986. It was moved to Canobie Lake Park in 1990, where it was renamed Canobie Corkscrew. The ride was featured in an advertisement for the video game
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. The ride was removed after the 2021 season due to rising maintenance costs, and its second corkscrew was donated to the National Roller Coaster Museum and Archives, where it will be restored and put on display. == References ==
