i cant believe the monster mouse ride will be no more!
i rode this coaster 35 years ago and it scared the living bejeezus out of me.i can remeber coming to the corners and being whipped around just as you thought you were going to go over the edge.
i returned 35 years later and after looking at how it was actually constructed it scared me even more as an adult, but it was one heck of a good ride, even though the entire structure would sway and shake with the movement of the cars!
this was my first coaster and i will miss it.

There's nothing quite like your first roller coaster, but both Six Flags New England (near Springfield, Mass.) and Playland Park (Rye, NY) have very similar roller coasters to Mad Mouse. You could visit those parks if you miss that experience.

The 2 mouses Playland's Zamperla mouse, and SFNE's Maurer Söhne are modern mouses. they reply only on hairpin turns and a few dips with no banks or unique features. The Allan Herschell built Mad mouse was unique in design fallowing a style closer to the Wood mouses found in Europe.

The moue operated at Playland before moving to Quassy in 81. the coaster replaced a B. A. Schiff built mouse.

stnmn35 you actually road 2 referent mouse coasters.
