And when I said water coaster, it will be just that as water jets will actually push the rafts up a number of inclines.”
The park official emphasised that the capital investment – though no hard figures were released – will be the largest in the park’s history for an attraction. “This incredible new ride will cost more than our Wooden Warrior roller coaster, which opened a decade ago,” he noted. “It will really take the waterpark experience at Quassy to the next level.”

Construction of the yet-to-be-named project will start in the fall and is expected to be completed in time for Splash Away Bay’s opening next spring. “We anticipate having a contest in regional schools to come up with a name for the ride,” Anderson asserted. “That’s how Wooden Warrior was named and we received nearly 100 entries.”
