Quassy will be getting 2 new, spectacular rides next year.
“FRANTIC” will provide 360 degrees of pure adrenalin rush when it makes its debut in April at the family-owned lakeside property. Currently being constructed in Italy “FRANTIC” will lift and spin riders high above the midway in an area near the “Grand Carousel.” Riders are seated on a circular platform - suspended on a giant pendulum - with locking over-the-shoulder restraints securing them in place.
The loading platform floor retracts and the pendulum starts to gently swing back and forth between its supporting towers. At the same time, the ring of seats begins to rotate as the ride reaches greater heights with every pass. As “FRANTIC” climbs to 80 degrees, then 120 degrees, the G and negative-G forces generated by the ride increase, as do the screams from thrilled patrons.
The swinging action continues until the ride finally does a series of complete 360-degree, topsy-turvy flips.
Little Drivers Will Get Their Chance
We are most looking forward to a new kiddie bumper car ride for smaller children. Quassy’s “Bumper Cars” have been popular with park guests for decades.
Next season the younger generation will be able to drive their own set of wheels in the “Collidoscope” kiddie bumper cars. The eight-car ride will be located near the Allan Herschell kiddieland rides behind the arcade building.
Drivers as small as 36 inches tall may get behind the wheel on the children’s attraction. The maximum height to ride will be 48 inches.
The new ride will be brightly themed and incorporate LED lighting on its façade.
