The ride made its debut at Quassy in<br \/>\n1952 along with three other Herschell kiddieland rides: Sky Fighter jets,<br \/>\nwet boats  and pony carts. The coaster\u2019s frame and wheels as well as the<br \/>\nseats are shown during the refurbishment process this week. The jet and<br \/>\nboat rides continue to operate within the circumference of the roller<br \/>\ncoaster, while the pony carts were retired several years ago to make room<br \/>\nfor attraction updates at the lakeside property. Quassy opens for its 111th<br \/>\nseason of operation on April 27.
