Cedar Point
Cedar Point shared this photo recently on their Facebook wall. This is “Patchy”, the Pachycephalosaurus. He will be traveling through out the region this winter. It seems many fans are still quite upset that Cedar Point decided to add Dinosaurs Alive rather than adding another roller coaster. You can read some of the comments here.

Quassy
Quassy has made their educational programs more comprehensive than ever before. With the addition of Wooden Warrior in 2011, they have added student projects to their workbook for the Physics portion of their educational program. Quassy even provides this workbook to the school before the trip so teaches can assign some of the work before the students visit Quassy. Quassy also offers a number of other educational programs for kids in elementary through high school, plus they can assist in designing a program to meet the needs of a school’s curriculum. For more information about the educational programs at Quassy, call 1-800-FOR-PARK or visit the official website.
