Saco, Maine - As autumn gives way to winter, a bright summer is in view at Funtown Splashtown USA. "Funtown USA will have a new roller coaster to thrill guests when we open in May," said Ken Cormier, park CEO.
Cormier added, "For parks to remain competitive in this regional market, improvements to your lineup need to be made. This new coaster shows our commitment to add new attractions to the Funtown USA Ride Park after doing two major expansions to the Splashtown USA Water Park."
The Wild Mouse will take guests on a circuitous trip with hairpin turns (including a crazy 270-degree turn) and steep hills and dips. "The whole family will be able to enjoy this new addition to the park," said marketing manager Ed Hodgdon. "This also will be the only Wild Mouse roller coaster in New England, a true distinction for the park."
The Wild Mouse coaster will replace the Galaxi roller coaster, which has been at the park for 30 years. The Wild Mouse coaster was designed and manufactured by Maurer Söhne of Munich, Germany. At over 50 feet tall and with 1200 feet long of track, guests will have a much more exciting experience.
The park is currently running its annual season pass holiday sale, with up to $10 off individual passes when you purchase before December 31. "With families in Maine looking for the greatest value, where else but Funtown Splashtown USA can you have fun for less than $1.00 a day?" said Hodgdon.
