Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

this should be an interesting addition to the park for sure. Its good to see them invest into the park !!!!

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

It dose look like a Fun coaster. I look forward to trying the Timberliners. While I very much liked the mouse the line kept me form re-riding it. I can see me holding a Marathon on this coaster on my trips.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

It does look fun, its hot huge by any means, but i notice that coasters that are not overly huge are more fun then giant ones, MF at Cedar Point is the classic example of that !!!

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

The big drop on the coaster is 45 ft dropping into the area now used for picnic grove. So it will be on teh short end but still bigger then your average family coaster. I think this will be a pleasant surprise when it opens.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

I think this is a perfect addition to the park, and I also think it's awesome that they're using timberliner trains! Can't wait to go and try them out in the spring!

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

One thing I find intriguing with the coaster is like boulderdash it dose use the terrain of the park. The station is on a hill. so is the lift. teh rest is in a lower section that is currently sports sections of the picnic ground.

Wood is starting to be put in place. The park has started vertical construction the coaster.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

This coaster should go up fairly quick, especially if it's already going vertical because it's so small. Can't wait to see the results!

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

It helps that is was originally going to be installed for this year. They got finally permission late but they were able to start construction mid season.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

The highest section of track was put in place the other day. They topped the section with a American and Quassy flag.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

Looks smaller than what I thought, but still seems like it'll be a great family coaster.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

How tall did you think 35 ft would be? but the drop off sets how tall you might think it is since it's droping into a field.

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

This seems like its going to be a fun little coaster! I'm prob going to make a trip out there for the first time and check out the park and check out the trains! =]

Re: Wooden Warrier, New Wood coaster for Quassy

I think this will provide a healthy boost to the park. the Mouse was a blast but this is an attraction worth talking about. It's great to see another wood coaster come to the area.
