Amusement parks in NH

[dalebert]

Stephen King remarked that NH seems to specialize in a lot of little amusement parks. Where the heck are they?

OB1 Canobie Lake?
That's the one I know about.

Maybe he means places like Santa's Village, Six Gun City, etc.

I would hardly think of NH having a lot of little amusement parks though. Canobie Lake Park is really the only decent size small park I can think of.

Storyland is another park and is decent sized:

Stephen writes about a place in Laconia, Thrill-something. I'm sure it's fake but I wonder if it's based on a real one with a different name. I did a quick search and the only thing I found was a go-cart park or something like that.

I've got a pet cemetery I'd like to sell you Dale,  It is very special.........oh yeah and I know this guy who can make you loose weight by touching you!

There's Whale Tails or Tales too in Lincoln I think.  My favorite is the drive-in!

Off topic:

This is about Stephen King.  Tell me your opinion on this please.  I always dreamed of sitting there with Stephen King, kicking ideas for a book back and forth, like being his helper if he ever is in an imaginative rut.  So I thought I found his myspace page and thought my whole life was going to change, well I found out after everyone I know was laughing at me that it was his fan's page.  Do you think Stephen King has his very own Myspace page?  If so do you think he would ever actually write to me? 

I have so many ideas for books but in clumps nothing organized with a beginning, middle, and end, just random imaginative thoughts so is there something I could do for a living with my clumps?

Honestly, lots of people get those disorganized clumps. It's when you can organize your thoughts and have the discipline to write them down into a coherent storyline that separates you from all those other people. I'm still trying to find out if that's me or not. It's taking more forever to get my novel written.  I recommend you read a book called "Telling Lies for Fun and Profit". It's a very quick read and very fun. The author has a lot of useful tips for writers and potential writers and he tells it to you in a very entertaining way.

You can sell books made out of clumps.  Just look at Sidney Sheldon.

Excellent I will get the book, thanks!  I didn't know you are trying to write a novel, good luck!    My sister ordered me a year subscription of Writer's Digest but it really hasn't been that helpful.
