 Review of Crazy Mouse Coaster @ Playland Amusement Park
0 Rating Posted by: Canobie Coaster on 9/18/2006 3:54:00 PM
One year ago I hated this ride. It flat out just hurt like crazy. This year I gave the ride another chance and had a much more pleasurable experience. Located to the far left side of Rye Playland, this purple Zamperla wild mouse sits. With many small, attractive-looking, 4-seat mouse cars, the Crazy Mouse looked very fun. Adding to its appearance were many trees circling the ride. Generally the Crazy Mouse is a walk-on. Boarding the car, you lower a lapbar and you are loaded and dispatched very quickly. Soon, you roll out of the station and begin a slow climb up the 35ft lift hill. After last years painful ride, this year I decided to brace myself for each turn by leaning to the sides of the cars and boy did that help. That actually allowed me to enjoy the ride. You then go around many hairpin turns and go back and forth. Unlike other wild mice, they dont brake these turns which allow for a wilder ride. You then travel around a U-turn and approach the first drop which was very smooth. Then the car flies up a small hill and whips around a hairpin turn, which was very painful last year, but not nearly as bad this year. Afterwards, there were a few bunny hills before reaching the brake run. Before the brake run there is a sign that warns you of the sudden stop caused by the brakes. Its not that bad as long as you brace yourself for it, but if you didnt I cant imagine how painful it would be. Overall, the Crazy Mouse was much better this year than last year. Though not as good as the Mack wild mice, this one still is good for a ride or two while at Playland. Overall, a good wild mouse coaster that can be rough and aggressive if you dont brace yourself for the turns.

Best mouse coaster I have been on to date. Sorry you had such a bad experience.

Maybe you like the rougher and wilder mouses. This one was just too rough for my liking.

Probably true. I really liked how it had a little spunk and rattled and jerked me around.

I updated my review and I actually enjoyed this ride after my two good rides on the Crazy Mouse this year. Its still not as good as Mack wild mice, but it still is a fun ride.
