thrillerman1 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Wow Quassy is the perfect setting for a family woodie like that. I will love this if it's anything like Sky Prin...err Kingdom Coaster at DuWo. Thanks for the shared info Robb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 For a coaster that has the stats of a kiddy/family coaster, this design looks like a lot of fun. It reminds me of the Tree Topper coaster in that it can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone, and it is nice to see Gravity Group building a family friendly coaster compared to the large thrill coasters that they have previously built. Off topic: If the new Santa's Village is successful, I can see a coaster similar to this open up within a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Nice, finally a non-lethal adult coaster at Quassy, this looks like a fun addition to the park. A 1 hour park just became a 1.5 hour park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Looks like a nice addition to this small park. But more importantly... What type of trains will this coaster feature?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 What type of trains will this coaster feature?!?! Well, I'm sure a woodie of 1,200 feet and 35 feet tall will have 75MPH LIM launched, death-metal equipped audio, Timberliner trains! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jds03 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Wow... A mini GG woodie...I was surprised by the size at first, but not, however disappointed. This looks like a perfect addition to a tiny family park like this. It's not fast, tall or really intimidating so kids and adults will not be hesitant to ride, but get all the amazing airtime and turns true coasters can offer.

downunder Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 ^^Sounds good to me, will they be consulting Meteornotes on the song selection or just using one of those mix cd's he made that maybe a TPR tourist accidentally dropped while we were at Quassy?

DBru Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 ^^^They gotta start somewhere, Robb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Love it! Especially since this park seemed to have no rules or height restrictions and even would have let me put KidTums on the death mouse!!! I have a feeling this could end up being one of KT's early woodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have a feeling this could end up being one of KT's early woodies! That sounds so wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well, I'm sure a woodie of 1,200 feet and 35 feet tall will have 75MPH LIM launched, death-metal equipped audio, Timberliner trains! I'm getting in line now! Sounds good to me, will they be consulting Meteornotes on the song selection or just using one of those mix cd's he made that maybe a TPR tourist accidentally dropped while we were at Quassy? First, more parks should recognize my genius and consult with me. Hard Rock Park would still be open. The ownership would be under investigation if they had implemented my "Guests Vs. Bears Chainsaw Spectacular", but you cannot deny that this would have brought in the crowds. Second, no one better be dropping any Elissa Bingo CDs or other prizes, as they are way too valuable to be casually tossed aside. Perhaps I will start requiring winners to occasionally send me photos of them holding their prizes so that everyone here at Meteornotes World Headquarters can know that their items are being held in the highest regard. Besides, I never put any really scary music on those CDs anyway. I don't want anyone to start crying... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 ^And to think, soon we will be in the home of downright scary metal - Norway. If Quassy get this coaster hopefully they will maintain it better than the suicide mouse, that structure looked about as stable as Axl Rose without meds.

KerryB Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How cool for Quassy! Sounds like a great addition to me. It's good to see such a cute little park grow and add things at an appropriate level to survive. Now if they do add the DT soundtrack to the awesome Jerry Garcia adorned Music Fest, they'll have no limit of growth potential! Upgrade....from speed bump to all out drive through line...in two charter buses...at Wendy's...for free junior Frosty's all around. It's just that cool!

John Peck Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Wow! What a great looking ride! I hope they get this approved, I've been meaning to take another trip out East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ^^^^Let me be the first to turn in my prize photo. This includes three of my prizes (as my Behemoth Bash stuff is all spread out across my room) from the Behemoth/East Coast trip this Summer. Back on topic, I think this will be a nice addition to Quassy. The park had a certain charm to it that I enjoyed. Really, the park's two existing coasters as well as that wonderful cardboard-built burlap-sack slide made the experience worthwhile. A new coaster can only add to the experience! Now if Clementon could actually get a decent coaster... Thanks again to Dave for the amazing CD, and to Robb and Elissa for the additional prizes of wonder!

Speeddeamon128 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Looks like fun! Hopefully it will be better than the mouse of death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWhippet Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I've been hoping we'd get approval to release this info. This is the perfect ride for Quassy's demographic. Now if they can just get the 'council of elders' to approve it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Fantastic design. I think it's high-time that we see a rejuvination of the wooden junior coaster, as it's been a LONG time since we've had an outbreak of them- as in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The Dave Experience is the ultimate sensation and any tokens given to you by Dave himself should always be cherished and saved forever!!!

CreditCrazy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The layout looks interesting, but the height will ruin it. 35 feet is extremely low. I can think of several kiddie coasters that are taller. This will just slowly make it's way through the layout. But, at least it's something. If you've seen Quassy's rides, you'd know they're nothing special. They're getting something, and hey, it's GG. How bad can it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 ^^Sounds good to me, will they be consulting Meteornotes on the song selection or just using one of those mix cd's he made that maybe a TPR tourist accidentally dropped while we were at Quassy? I could do it. Metal is the best music in the history of everything(look at my sig for metal awesome) Back on subject, this coaster looks like a fine addition to quassy.

hyyyper Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Way to go Quassy. Looking at the park I never thought they would get the money for a coaster like this. But knowing TGG, I'm sure they'll get airtime on that thing even if it's only 35 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Definitely not the most extreme coaster, but an overall excellent addition for Quassy. It's about time they got some rides that seem a little more permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
