Canobie Lake Park is still fighting to regain its once enormous guest count. 4 years after Covid-19 began local businesses are still struggling to get to where they once were. Canobie Lake is thousands under how many guests they had pre-Covid. The park is trying to draw in new guests with more attractions and festivities.
After Covid many businesses suffered drastic loss of revenue, many had to close. Even 4 years after Covid, we are still in the post-Covid era, and are still affected by it. Looking at one family owned business, Canobie Lake Park, a very successful amusement park we can still see the post-covid numbers.
Canobie has always had a limited occupancy policy to an extent, they can only hold so many people though due to parking. Some days they know that they will be busy; they will only supply tickets online, which helps with better crowd control and preparedness. Due to Covid in 2020 the park had to only have 25% of normal crowd attendance, but few people attended even with that regulation.
During the fall season Canobie brings on many festive attractions. Many of these are repeating ideas but every year they add more. They use all ways to activate a person’s 5 senses which give the guest a completely unique experience. Anywhere you look in the park you can see pumpkins, hay, skeletons, graveyards, spiders and many more Halloween decorations. They bring in fall themed food such as apple cider donuts, apple pie fried dough, hot cocoa, any way you pass you can smell the cinnamon aroma drifting through the air. The most popular thing bought in the fall is undeniably Screeemfest. This year the park had 5 haunted houses that were open at dark, with many “scare actors” who partook in making it a truly scary adventure for the guests. The houses ranged from clowns, mental hospitals, zombie apocalypses and so much more.
During Covid the park set restrictions such at the 25% normal crowd rate but since then they haven’t been able to reach how many guests they once had. Canobie is working hard to draw more people in because their revenue has been the best this year since Covid but still hasn’t reached their max revenue before Covid Although there has been a great recovery since Covid we still see many places struggling to get back to where they once were. They have many big ideas coming to draw more people in the coming years, those are secrets as of now though…
