To:
The classic 1952 Allan Herschell Little Dipper roller coaster is ready to
roll again this Saturday as Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury, Conn.,
opens for its 111th season. The 3-car train was completely refurbished by
our maintenance team during the off-season and the supports and track all
painted as well.
The Little Dipper sign at the top of the incline will be back up soon as it
has been painted and new LED lights added to it.
A stainless steel engraved sign (attached) details the history of the ride
and will be posted at the attraction in the near future.

*Also, New Park Policy For Those Under 24 Months Of Age *
*Free Rides For Preschoolers*
*May 19 At Quassy Amusement Park*
MIDDLEBURY, Conn. – Preschoolers will have their day in the park – Quassy
Amusement Park that is – on Sunday, May 19.
The property will be hosting a special day for preschoolers in which
those 5 years of age and younger will receive a free all-day ride wristband
when an adult family member purchases a wristband.
“We believe this is an outstanding way for us to showcase all of the
fantastic attractions we have for not only children, but the entire
family,” Quassy President Eric Anderson said of the event. “The park is
also initiating a new season-long policy for those under 24 months of age.
They will receive free rides on the Grand Carousel and train and entrance
into the beach and Splash Away Bay (waterpark) area when accompanied by a
paid adult.”
Over the past several years the family-owned park has introduced numerous
new rides for all ages.
New for 2019 is the Bouncing Buggies family ride, located in the heart of
the property.
“We added two new children’s rides at the lakefront in 2017 and both of
those rides also accommodate adults,” Anderson said of the park’s recent
focus. “Plus, we have a variety of rides just for younger children – in
total, more than a dozen rides for smaller kids.”
The venerable property is entering its 111th season of operation and last
year introduced its largest project to date: Caterogy 5 Rapids – Extreme
Waterslides in Splash Away Bay waterpark.
The ride area of Quassy will operated weekends starting April 27 with the
waterpark and Quassy Beach ramping up for the summer season on May 25.
Daily operation begins June 4 through Labor Day.
*About The Park*
Rides include the award-winning Wooden Warrior roller coaster, Reverse
Time, Frantic, Music Fest, Yo-Yo super swings, Free Fall ‘N’ Drop Tower and
Grand Carousel.
Splash Away Bay waterpark has dozens of ways to get drenched on warm
summer days, including 15 slides, Saturation Station modular play area and
a splash pad for toddlers.
Quassy also features a laser maze attraction in its huge arcade building.
The park also has a restaurant, redemption arcade, games, live
entertainment and special events.
