Quassy Amusement Park to relaunch waterpark after US$5m revamp
POSTED 29 Apr 2013 . BY Aoife Dowling
The waterpark at Quassy Amusement Park in Connecticut, US is on track to introduce four new attractions for the 2013 season - nearly doubling the size of the waterpark.

Formally known as Saturation Station, the waterpark has also undergone a re-branding and is now called "Splash Away Bay".

Located on Lake Quassapaug in Middlebury, the project includes three huge waterslides: a BulletBowl tube slide and two FreeFall bodyslides, all from Canada-based ProSlide Technology.

Quassy will also install a 2,000sq ft (186sq m) Vortex Splashpad by Vortex Aquatic Structures, which will be called Fish Pond and provide activities for toddlers.

The BulletBowl is a two-person tunnelled tube ride that will drop more than 30ft and travel 210ft. When the tube emerges from the tunnel it is sent spinning into a giant bowl where speed and centrifical force keep the riders glued to the outside of the bowl. As the tube circles and slows down, it plunges into the centre of the bowl and exits into a landing trough.

The FreeFall slides, which will share the same loading platform with the bowl tube ride, are also known as "extreme" bodyslides. The two bodyslides will each be more than 140ft in length with riders travelling at rates of more than 20ft per second.

Both rides can accommodate more than 300 people per hour.

The new attractions will be located adjacent to the existing Saturation Station modular water play area and waterslides.
