Get ready for Oscar’s Wacky Taxi debuting spring 2018
The Times
Sesame Place, the nation’s only theme park based entirely on the award-winning show Sesame Street, recently announced its first wooden-steel hybrid coaster — Oscar’s Wacky Taxi — debuting Spring 2018. The new coaster is one of the largest new attractions in the park’s 37-year history and will feature a bright yellow, taxi cab-inspired train with everyone’s favorite grouch at the helm.
The new coaster, combining both wood and steel elements to create a smooth ride, will give pint-sized thrill seekers and their families the opportunity to experience another exciting first at Sesame Place. Oscar’s Wacky Taxi will send riders soaring down an exhilarating first drop of 40 feet, traveling over 1,200 feet of track with exciting twists, turns and plenty of airtime hills, which are sure to delight even the grouchiest of riders. A 40” rider height requirement (with a supervising companion) or 46” height requirement for single riders will make this the perfect first coaster for many park guests.
Oscar’s Wacky Taxi will join Super Grover’s Vapor Trail as the second roller coaster at the park. Super Grover’s Vapor Trail, which opened in 1998 as the park’s first mechanical ride, is celebrating its 20th birthday in 2018.
