Thackray Crane Rental Removes Sesame Place Rubber Ducky For Future Relocation!

Thackray Crane Rental was on-site at Sesame Place recently to safely remove the iconic giant Rubber Duckie that will be relocated to another area in the theme park.

Weighing 2000 pounds, the Rubber Duckie stands eight feet tall with its accompanying soap dish measuring 11 feet.

The structure was removed to make room for Sesame Place’s new tropical-themed playland that will open this summer, officials said.

Sesame Place will host a contest on its social media for visitors to help determine where Rubber Duckie will be relocated to.
