Great Escape
89 Six Flags Drive,
Queensbury, New York.
Washington County, USA.
(from Wikipedia)
Sasquatch is an S&S Worldwide combo drop tower at Great Escape in Queensbury, New York. It opened on May 10, 2009.
The ride was previously located at Six Flags New Orleans under the names Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam; after the park closed due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the ride was moved to Great Escape. The current name is derived from the cryptid Sasquatch. The ride stands at 192 feet tall.
Ride History
The ride first opened in 2000 as Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam at a new park called Jazzland. Then Six Flags took over the lease of the park in 2002 and changed the name to Six Flags New Orleans in 2003.
After Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, the park was severely flooded from the hurricane and has remained closed since. Six Flags decided to relocate several rides, such as Batman: The Ride, which was removed in 2007 and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas where it was refurbished and reopened on April 18, 2008 under the new name Goliath.
The Bayou Blaster and the Sonic Slam were dismantled in 2008 and relocated to Great Escape, where the ride was refurbished, repainted, and renamed Sasquatch. The ride was officially opened on May 10, 2009 on the former spot of Rainbow, which closed after the 2007 season.
Ride experience
The ride contains two shafts or towers, a lift tower and a drop tower. On the drop tower, riders are easily brought to the top and then dropped extremely fast down most of it, then brought up not as high, then dropped at the same speed. This continues several more times before the ride ends. On the lift tower, riders are shot to the top in three seconds, then dropped not as fast as the drop tower drops, then brought back up at the same speed, then dropped slowly. This continues until the ride ends like the drop tower.
The correct name for the two towers are Launch and Drop. The Launch Tower shoots passengers over 150 feet (46 m) into the air in 3 seconds and slowly drops them down. The Drop tower launches passengers slowly and drops them in three seconds.

Family - Teapotiaceae
This very rare tree, now considered endangered was cleared out of Australian forests by the turn of the 19th century after being harvested for its fine grained timber and unusual fruits. The fruits were considered a delicacy and exported to England where royalty took a great liking to them. One tree was even transported to Cornwall in England where it is reportedly still fruiting profusely each year.
Just a few trees remain around the country in cooler mountain areas along the east coast from the Daintree National Park to Tasmania although the species did once occur in Subtropical forest on the NSW Mid North Coast. This one here, growing in a private garden at Wheelabarraback on the NSW Mid North Coast, was reportedly cultivated from a fruit consumed by a member of the British Royal family who visited the area in 1972 when there were concerns that the future of the Monarchy was at risk in Australia.
Attempts to bring the species into cultivation as a bush tucker plant have so far had limited commercial success as horticultural researchers have not been able to get a handle on it. Work is however ongoing. This tree is one of the better specimens that I have seen.
The fruits of Teapotea hangiiana were particularly favoured by Drop Bears (Thylarctos plummetus) who feasted on them in mid winter when cold weather meant there was little alternative fruit around.
The fruit had the unusual characteristic of being quite hot on chilly winter mornings around breakfast time and then again around dinner time, hence the derivation of the genus name Teapotea.
Normally the diet of Drop Bears, a closely related species to the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), is small and some large species of rhodent like animals with downward facing eyes such as the Wombat (Vombatus ursinus). However the species is now believed to have viciously attacked humans from their homes normally high up in the tree tops. Like the Lyre Bird, researchers believe Drop Bears can distinguish between various sounds such as accents of human voices as they walk in Australia's forests.
To date there have been comparatively few studies done on Drop Bear behaviour and ecology but researchers believe the usual modus operandi is to strategically wait high in trees from where they can precisely drop down onto their victims. The unfortunate victims of these attacks appear to have little if any warning, except for a slight whistling sound as the air passes through their large sabre like teeth as they plummet downwards.
So far no humans attacked by Drop Bears have survived to tell the story and its believed the victims are almost entirely consumed leaving little evidence of the attack.
Wearing forks protruding vertically from a cap on the head and lathering Vegemite or even Marmite or Promite behind the ears are believed by many to be effective deterrents however no reliable evidence is so far available to authenticate this.
A recent study done in Tasmania, where the species there differs slightly from the mainland species in that it has evolved an extra toe and finger, has concluded that Drop Bears target foreign speakers more regularly than cultivated English speakers. This may explain why Queenslanders have been among the statistics more regularly than Victorians for example. Other researchers have however speculated that the lack of attacks on cultivated English speakers could in fact have nothing to do with accents and more to do with the fact that these individuals prefer to use Marmite instead of Vegemite behind the ears as the recommended deterrent.
The people of the Mid North Coast however can rest easy as the last reported Drop Bear attack in the area was in 1888 when the forests of much of the region were lush and impenetrable to all but a hardy bunch of immigrant timber getters. The forests have long since been cleared around many of the Mid North Coastal towns which once boasted some of the best Drop Bear habitat in Australia.
Cryptozoologists who study Cryptids, such as Teapotea hangiiana and Thylarctos plummetus, believe recent sightings of Drop Bears in some remote areas of Barrington Tops National Park, where numbers of Teapotea hangiiana are reportedly recovering well, suggest that Thylarctos plummetus is also not only making a comeback but is evolving into a much larger and more aggressive carnivore possibly owing to recent increases in tourism from non cultivated English speaking nations although it has also been attributed to a significant increase in visitation to the region by nature loving Queenslanders, whose own native wildlife and forests are under extreme pressure from climate change not to mention land clearing and over development.
In another development, field studies are currently being conducted at Barrington Tops in an attempt to determine the critical numbers of the elusive Thylarctos plummetus within Barrington Tops National Park.
Its too early to say yet but based on early reports, some experts are speculating that the NSW species may soon be able to be removed from the critically endangered species lists.

One of my hideous Cereal Box Project demos from my cartooning class.
The funny thing about this one is having to explain to little kids what "keeping regular" means.
In September 2016 I took my first trip to Point Pleasant to visit the Mothman Museum. I love cryptids so much and always feel on the fence about associating Point Pleasant, WV too heavily with it. 46 people lost their lives on the Silver Bridge on December 15th, 1967 and that event is often connected in lore to the Mothman. I support the local businesses as much as I can when we’re in town (as I’m now married to someone from the area), and while I appreciate how much the festival can do for the local economy and I love Mothman with my whole heart… I’ll always feel sadness for the lives lost during the bridge collapse.
Commentary.
Spring snow in the Highlands.
South-West from Dores beach this image shows nearly the whole length of Loch Ness.
It certainly shows twenty of the twenty-five miles of its length
from Fort Augustus to Abban Water and Loch Dochfour.
The three-hundred and fifty-mile fault line of which it is a part,
extending from the north part of the Moray Firth to Ireland,
reaches a vertical height of over a mile, when adding the height of Ben Nevis to the depth of Loch Ness.
At Urquhart Bay the chasm created by tectonic movement and subsequent glaciers, reaches two miles in width.
In this view, Urquhart Bay, is seen on the right,
just below the snowy heights of Meall-Fhuar Mhonaidh, at 700 metres or 2,300 feet.
On this day it was no more than a giant mill-pond
but in misty conditions, as darkness descends,
its mood can become malevolent, sinister and un-nerving.
Whether prehistoric cryptids swim in its murky, peaty waters
or not, it can stir the blood and the imagination.
Today, peaceful and full of promise,
spring was here!

“Faeries are nice beings, they grant wishes. Right?” – Unknown
While some certainly do nice things and some may even grant wishes; others still play harmless pranks to fool the mortals they encounter.
To most the fae are mischievous tricksters on the surface and no true threat. However the fae hierarchy stretches and grows like the roots of the oldest trees in the forest and for every bit of light and shimmer as branches raise high in the sky; there is dark and shadow as roots dig deep into the earth.
The Duskfall Court is the seat of shadow and where pranks are rarely harmless. Those who abide by its laws find themselves watched over by the nobility of the court.
Those who tread these woods best watch out because the woods watch back and will not hesitate to ensnare the unwary.
The Duskfall Court is sponsored by Quills & Curiosities and Cryptid
The region is magically created by Dacien & Marcel Blackwood, Crow, and Lemony Nova
Cat on a train track or a Chupacabra? One of my cat on the tracks shots had just the right angle that the cat looked like a mysterious cryptid. I just popped the red in the eyes. Lol!
What hurts Bigfoot's plausibility is the lak of even an ape fossil record in the area.
