Yankee Cannonball
mrc - you are the ultimate homer. I rode it on Friday night for the first time and this was one of my most disappointing coasters ever.
I don't even know if this makes my Top 50 for coasters under 100 feet.

I get your point but with only 100 coaster under your belt that a little harsh. But it's your opinion and I respect it. I Just hope if you visit the park again you give the ride another try. But I also don't know what you look for in a coaster. and in my park most of the wood coasters I've been on were over 100ft.

I'll give it another try if I visit the park again, I just didn't have time for a second ride this time. I found Excalibur (or at least the first half of it) far superior to anything YC offered. However, knowing the under 100 foot coasters in New England I'd have to say Pandemonium blows them all away.
here are 50 coasters under 100 foot coasters I prefer over YC: in no particular order; 1 - Raven 2 - Legend 3 - Cyclone 4 - Phoenix 5 - Cornball Express 6 - Colossus (Thorpe Park) 7 - Wild One 8 - Nemesis Inferno 9 - Comet (Great Escape) 10 - Georgia Cyclone 11 - Hydra 12 - Laser 13 - Thunder Road 14 - Gwazi 15 - Great Bear 16 - Lightning Racer 17 - Roar (SFA) 18 - Thunder Run 19 - Avalanche 20 - Cyclops 21 - Grizzly (PKD) 22 - Rock n Roller Coaster 23 - Jokers Jinx 24 - Poltergeist 25 - Blue Streak (CP) 26 - Blue Streak (CLP) 27 - River King Mine Train 28 - Road Runner Express (SFFT) 29 - Hoosier Hurricane 30 - Swamp Fox 31 - FoF (PKI) 32 - FoF (PKD) 33 - Thunderbolt (Kennywood) 34 - JackRabbit (Kennywood) 35 - J2 36 - Rita Queen of Speed 37 - Air 38 - Grand National 39 - Megaphobia 40 - Skyliner (Lakemont) 41 - Dragon's Fury 42 - Spinball Whizzer 43 - Pandemonium 44 - Timberland Twister 45 - Steel Dragon 46 - Velocity 47 - Exterminator 48 - Nemesis 49 - King Solomon's Mine 50 - Wild Mouse (Blackpool's Wooden Mouse) 51 - Silver Comet
I will stop now!

Pandemonium is a really good coaster. I really enjoy it. Were did you sit when you road the cannonball? This isn't an effort to dispute your clam just Curious. But I can agree on a first ride anyone might expect more after a 45 minute to a hour wait.
I would hope that the second half of Excalibur gets better after it's worked on this off season.

I want to say CI Cyclone but I'll go with Laser instead just because I'm a sucker for Schwarzkopf anythings.

thanks for the info. Normally you get air time of every hill in that seat. Was it running slow that day?
