DelGrosso Family Purchases Ride At Amusement Convention
ORLANDO, FLORIDA --- With more than 1,300 exhibitors spread over one million square feet of exhibit space, the 85th Annual International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Convention in Orlando this week is a thrill buyers paradise. Officials of DelGrosso's Amusement Park in Tipton, Pennsylvania, announced from Orlando today they have purchased a new rollercoaster. The CRAZY MOUSE will be in operation for the 2004 season.
The CRAZY MOUSE is known for its unpredictable spinning motion that occurs along with the "up and down" ride of a standard coaster. As each of the four passenger cars rounds hairpin turns, they begin spinning wildly.
The CRAZY MOUSE is manufactured by Reverchon and traverses the 1,260-foot track in two and a half minutes. The ride is currently under construction and will be shipped to Tipton during the winter of 2004. There are currently 52 CRAZY MOUSE rides in operation world-wide and only 7 in the United States. Orlando's Walt Disney World recently purchased two CRAZY MOUSE rides for their Animal Kingdom theme park.
DelGrosso's Amusement Park President Peter Gardella calls the CRAZY MOUSE a "perfect addition" to the Tipton Park. "DelGrosso's Amusement Park is all about families and the four-passenger cars of the CRAZY MOUSE will allow families to enjoy this new ride together. The CRAZY MOUSE offers all the best of coaster thrills combined with the experience of a spinning ride."
The CRAZY MOUSE is the first in a series of development projects expected for the 2004 season at DelGrosso's Amusement Park.
