Yankee Cannonball, Wooden roller coaster in Salem, New Hampshire
The Yankee Cannonball extends across 2000 feet of track, reaching speeds of 35 mph and featuring multiple bunny hills and twisted sections throughout its course.
Originally constructed at Lakewood Park in 1930, this Philadelphia Toboggan Coaster was relocated to Canobie Lake Park in 1936, where it first operated under the name Greyhound.
The 1983 renaming to Yankee Cannonball commemorated the Civil War, with trains painted in blue and gray to represent the Union and Confederate forces.
The roller coaster requires riders to be at least 48 inches tall, with single-seat arrangements and safety features including seat belts and center dividers.
The coaster alternates between two separate trains each year, maintaining its classic wooden structure while incorporating modern safety standards.
