I’ve had quite an experience here for my first visit in 2017. Boulder Dash was my 200th Roller Coaster, but it almost didn’t work out that way. After planning, it turned out Wildcat never opened during the entire season. So in order for me to get Boulder Dash to be my 200th, I needed that very kiddie credit, which also happened to be the literal most strict kiddie credit of all time. Long story short, I SOMEHOW, after a lifetime’s worth of stress, was able to get that credit and got BD to be my 200th. Turns out that after I rode it, it happened to be opening day for Wildcat’s GCI makeover... after I got off of Boulder Dash (it opened late in the day)... Left that day with 201 credits.

Lake Compounce was my home park for 20 years until I moved to Wisconsin. Love that park, it will always be one of my favorites. I remember some of the older rides that are no more: Rotor, a ride that spun you around and stuck you to the wall, Twisted Sisters waterslides, the Lake waterslides, Music Express, and Enterprise. Gone but not forgotten.

When I used to lived in Connecticut as a teenager I enjoyed Riverside amusement park AKA 6flags up in Agawam Mass more than Lake Compounce. But each had it's own charm. 6flags had the oval stock car racing I loved to go see and the huge ferris wheel over looking the entire park and the river. Lake compounce has the hill it's beside and is a hidden treat with no long lines and a the wooden ride that goes by the water and hill

@988JAG 6 лет назад

Following the path next to Boulder Dash at the end of it there used to be a ski lift ride that brought you all the way up the mountain. It was a slow, long ride but the views were fantastic. They shut it down because the restraints were terrible and there were too many accidents.

That odd walkway that seems to lead out of the park but skirts Boulder Dash and the lake - it’s worth taking that walkway to the end, where you can get on a train that goes around the lake, giving the best views of the whole park and the mountain, and ending up near the entrance of the park.

It makes sense that Lake Compounce is like Kennywood. In the 1990s, Kennywood bought Lake Compounce, and they have been sister parks ever since.

@talia373 3 года назад

they removed the free soda because when people would get their own soda they would spill, and a bunch of bees would go after all the soda. I remember times where bees were so crowded around to soda stations i wouldnt even go over because i was so terrified.

@ellagrace460 2 года назад

I know this video is old but the pathway leads to a raft ride and a ski lift 🤣 also back when it was first made it was only in Bristol but the owner wanted to run for mayor in Southington so he convinced them to shift the town lines 😃 (it may have been originally in Southington and he wanted to be in Bristol I’m not positive) it was also owned by Hershey for a little while before they returned to Pennsylvania. I grew up at this park 😊

@nicknickson3650 2 года назад

Lake Compounce is a theme park you go to slightly drunk after the sun sets for those old school theme park atmospheres. It's like that movie Adventure Land. yeah it's not the most intense ride park, but it's a chill place under the right circumstances. Never tried the burgers but their pizza and hot dogs are great.

@slow-dive 5 лет назад

lake compounce was my first amusement park and i enjoyed it so much. my first roller coaster was wild cat and it was super intense, along with phobia which almost scarred me for life but you know, it's okay. i enjoyed all of the rides and it's a family friendly park. love it.

@danielmadeson311 3 года назад

For the food, you gotta go to Pinks and get a chili cheese dog or burger. It’s really good!!!! Also, that pathway that goes alongside Boulder Dash leads you to the Thunder Rapids ride. If you don’t feel like walking, you can take the trolley that runs along the path. It’s very convenient and efficient. Love Lake Compounce. Also to address your point at 3:56, Lake Compounce is owned by the same company as Kennywood which is Palace Entertainment, so perhaps that’s why it had a similar feel. Haven’t been to Kennywood yet though but I really want to visit there as well!!!!

@MattMcIrvin 3 года назад

Lake Compounce's other great signature ride was their amazing sky ride that used to go hundreds of feet up Compounce Mountain. But it is no more--I think they closed it due to safety concerns; it was hard to evacuate in an emergency. I actually enjoyed their Boomerang. I also like the raft ride, Thunder Rapids--once on a light day they let us just go around three times and we got really soaked. It's also got a pretty good water-park section. I like the lazy river that has a tube slide in the middle of it.

@mdteletom1288 5 лет назад

Wow! I just checked the web site for this park. $48 for a regular admission plus pay for parking! I liked Adventure Park USA in Maryland's pricing; you only pay for a pass if you're going on the rides and free parking. Same with Knoebels, free parking, pay as you go and you can bring your dog (just not on the rides).

@skeletalmadness2563 6 лет назад

No it’s the same price with the Dino’s also I agree the food isn’t good the food at crock pot is good and a butifull spot is down near the beach it’s a walk way witch goes near the old entrance of the boat. At the end there is a river rapids ride and a area to see the ride and people on it located near the company food area. The ride that’s purple and orange is called phobia and I’d love a video on like the water rides because I think the water park is almost as amazing.

Small park because the main park area is on what used to be the parking lot. Back in the 1980s the parking was moved to the other side of the road and they created the under the road entrance. There was also a big outdoor concert area. You should ride Wildcat. It was built in 1927, it's one of the worlds older operating coasters.
