Quassy Amusement & Waterpark Rated Third Best Value In The Nation, First Overall In Northeast
EntSun News/10772827
Family-owned park offers all-day rides and waterpark for less then $40 per person
MIDDLEBURY, Conn. - April 15, 2019 - EntSun -- When it comes to offering an affordable family getaway, Quassy Amusement & Waterpark here is considered the best option among all amusement parks in the Northeast, according to HomeToGo, the world's largest vacation rental search engine.
New York-based HomeToGo today revealed the results of its annual Theme Park Index. The ranking, which includes the 50 largest amusement parks in the United States, exposes the steep gradient that separates the nation's most affordable and most expensive options.
Not only did the ratings find Quassy the most affordable in the region, but the family-owned property was considered the third best overall amusement park deal nationwide.
"We're certainly pleased that we can continue to offer a full day of rides and our expanded waterpark for less than $30 per person," Quassy President Eric Anderson said. "With the vast improvements made at the park over the past 17 years, our guests are finding more value than ever before."
In 2011 Quassy made international theme park news when it introduced Wooden Warrior, a roller coaster incorporating tight turns and exceptional "airtime" in a small footprint. The marquee attraction was the first in all of North America to use the state-of-the-art Timberliner train from Gravitykraft Corp., Cincinnati, Ohio.
In addition, the lakeside property has added a full-fledged waterpark in recent years as well as eight other new rides in the amusement area of the park.
How It Was Calculated
In order to rank the theme parks based on price, four factors were researched by HomeToGo: Parking, adult anyday one-day ticket, meal deal and accommodation for one night
Park websites provided parking, ticket, and meal deal prices for this year*. HomeToGo used its own metasearch data to forecast the average cost of accommodation (per person per night) between April 6 and June 22.
Frontier City in Oklahoma accelerated to the top of this year's ranking with Holiday World in Indiana second and Quassy third.

HomeToGo based its findings on the following pricing:
Frontier City: Parking $8.29; ticket $31.99; meal $11.99; accommodation $26.54 for a total of $78.81.
Holiday World: Parking free; ticket $39.99; meal $13.98; accommodation $29.97 for a total of $83.94
Quassy Amusement Park: Parking $7; ticket $29.99; meal $11.50; accommodation $36.55 for a total of $85.04.
See The Complete Findings
The report also sums up the most expense parks in the U.S.
The most affordable parks by region are as follows: Northeast – Quassy Amusement & Waterpark; Mid-Atlantic – Hersheypark, Hershey, Pa.; Midwest – Holiday World, Santa Claus, Ind.; South – The Park At OWA, Foley, Ala.; West – Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park, Calif.; Southwest – Frontier City, Oklahoma City, Okla.

"When people think of traveling to an amusement park, the big international parks often come to mind first. We are pleased to be able to offer travelers a comprehensive overview of the best amusement parks in America to provide even more options for every budget while still allowing for a fun-filled theme park vacation," said Joanna Booth, head of inbound marketing for HomeToGo. "We had a scream producing this guide, and are delighted to show that some of the best parks in the world with award-winning attractions are accessible for a fraction of the price of going to a park in Orlando or SoCal."
Additional key takeaways from this year's Theme Park Price Index:
• Florida has the most parks in this year's ranking (9), followed by California (8).
