QUASSY Amusement Park
Middlebury, Conneticut
Park News - (2/17/2025) Would you believe that a legendary carousel figure that was stolen from Quassy Amusement Park 40 years ago has now been recovered? According to an article at Amusement Today the “Sea Monster” or “Hippocampus” figure that vanished from the park back in 1985 was discovered as an item included in collection purchase of former Circus and Carnival items that were found in a Florida warehouse.
Trying to discover what they had purchased pictures were sent out and before long the true identity of the lost item was realized. A private deal was arranged to purchase the Sea Monster back from the private owner and it is now safely back in the hands of the family owned park.
 2025 - Two New Rides - (7/1/2025) A quick reader report from Quassy confirms that the park’s new SBF Spinning Coaster is now fully built with the train on the tracks. While it wasn’t open, when questioned the staff working on it said they expected it to open in the next few days.
(4/3/2025) Quassy has officially named the park’s new SBF Visa spinning roller coaster “Crazy 8 Spin Coaster”, which works well since the track layout is said to be a giant figure-8 shape.
(2/2/2025) Quassy is asking for help to name their new family spinning coaster. Submit your best ideas to the park’s website here.
(10/26/2024) Quassy has confirmed that the park will open a new “Family Coaster and Swing Ride” for the 2025 season. Based on the photo the new coaster coming will be one of those compact SBF Visa Spinning Family Coasters, but the introduction of a new swing ride is an interesting one. The photo show looks like your typical Wave Swinger style ride that are offered by a number of different companies out there, however the park already has a Chance Yo-Yo style swing ride that was added back in 2004.
Digging a little more, it seems that Quassy actually put their Yo-Yo up for sale on the used ride market over the summer, and the listing for it online has been updated to say that it was indeed sold to a new owner, so it looks like whatever new Wave Swinger that is coming in will likely replace the former Yo-Yo.
