Something delightfully unexpected has happened on the Zoooooom Coaster. What was once a simple ride through the park has been completely transformed into The Burrow Express, a whimsical new adventure created in partnership with beloved local artist Mike Bennett. Featuring all-new theming and charming characters, this reimagined family coaster invites guests to discover a hidden world bustling beneath Oaks Park.
The story begins when a colony of local critters—clever moles, energetic bunnies, and their furry friends—decide to take over the coaster and convert it into the fastest subway system in town. Deep below the midway, these resourceful residents have connected their underground burrows with a network of tunnels and stations, making it easier than ever to travel between neighborhoods. There's just one problem. The Burrow Express's regular driver has called in sick.
Stepping in behind the controls is his wildly enthusiastic nephew, a rabbit with far more confidence than experience. Determined to keep the trains running on schedule, the young bunny has taken the wheel for the day, and every stop along the route turns into an unexpected adventure. Riders never know exactly what they'll encounter around the next bend as they zip through the critters' bustling underground world.
The official debut of The Burrow Express takes place on Sunday, June 28, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM during Oaks Park's annual Pride Rides celebration. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Zoooooom Coaster or experiencing it for the very first time, The Burrow Express offers a fresh new journey filled with imagination, humor, and hometown charm. Grab your ticket, mind the gap, and hop aboard..
