New Hampshire's Storied Theme Park

Tuesday February 19, 2008
Before Six Flags, before the introduction of water parks, and even before Disneyland, New Hampshire's Story Land, nestled in the picture-perfect White Mountains, opened the gates of its crooked house to welcome families into its storybook attractions. Kids 12 and older probably wouldn’t be interested in the park, but younger children would revel in its beguiling charm. And adults would adore the almost palpable nostalgia. The front section of the park retains many of its original storybook tableaus such as the Old Woman in the Shoe, Humpty Dumpty, and the Three Little Pigs (with real pigs!). The back of the park offers some modern-day attractions including a wonderful raft ride, a steel roller coaster, and a log flume ride, but the thrills are toned down to pint-size levels.
