He said several contestants submitted Crazy 8 in various spellings, but Shaw’s was “written out just right.”

Each will be invited to join the official grand opening event in June.

Quassy said the new family coaster has a figure-eight track design “with cars that rotate as they glide along the course, delivering a dynamic ride experience for guests of all ages.”

Quassy is also debuting the Aladdin Wave Swinger, a swing ride imported from the Netherlands, this season.

The amusement park will open for the season on April 26.

It is located at 2132 Middlebury Road in Middlebury.
