This isn't related to Canobie Park specifically, but the mention of the Turkish Twist made me think of it. Carowinds used to have a similar ride called "The Oaken Bucket."
My mom likes to tell the story that she rode it on one visit and got more sick than she'd ever been before. To her surprise she found out shortly thereafter that she was pregnant with me. So technically, that may be the first amusement park ride I ever rode! =)
Ha! Great story. Yes, a ton of parks used to have Rotors. As for the nausea, the Turkish Twist is the one ride which needs to be hosed down more than any other at Canobie. That's why I decided to forego a ride. (Although I suspect I would have actually been okay. Then again, that drum really spins!)
