Quassy- Trip Photos

By -
On August 9th, 2017, we visited Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury, CT. 
Here you can see my photos and read my comments on the rides!

Wooden Warrior



This compact Gravity Group wooden coaster is still running pretty well. A little bit shaky, but the air time is still amazing. I bet in a few years, it will need some more retracking.

Flat Rides

The Pirate Ship runs a long cycle and has some nice airtime.
The Paratrooper provides a great view of the lake, and has a very long ride cycle. Such a classic ride!
Frantic is one of the craziest rides in the park! The inversions are great, and at times provide very cool sensations due to the seats spinning.
Music Fest travels both forwards and backwards! Tons of fun!
No park is complete without Bumper Cars!
The YoYo Swings are very thrilling, and such a classic!
New For 2017

Up, Up, and Away & Skippers Clippers were new family rides added for 2017



So was the candy shop, complete with a taffy maker!
Splash Away Bay





Great water park! Loved all of the great ProSlide Attractions! Can't wait to try out the new slides next summer!

Thanks for reading! I had a great day at Quassy! They have a great mix of family and thrill rides, along with classic attractions and new cutting edge machinery! Check them out!

    Thanks for posting. Wooden Warrior is running great in its 7th season. Mostly due to the Timberliner, we have had to due virtually no track work except for tightening of bolts as part of regular maintenance. This train does not beat up the track and we have been very pleased with its performance. Hope to see you again soon.

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
