Top 15 Rides at Lake Compounce 

Boulder Dash is on a whole different level at night. The laterals and airtime are absolutely insane. The only wooden coasters that top it in my list are Phoenix, Voyage, and El Toro. (Lightning Rod soon.) The skyride was awesome. Its spirit lives on with Knoebel’s skyway. R.I.P.

Thanks for the nostalgia! I probably haven’t been since 2013 or ‘14, but this place was such a big part of my childhood. And the new rides look exciting. Glad that the quaint New England park I knew and loved has glowed up a little!

You deserve a million subs, hands down the best theme park /amusement channel 👍

I'm so glad I got to ride the sky ride before they took it out. Evac was always a problem--I recall they couldn't run it if it had rained recently, which was why it was down on my first visit. Thunder Rapids is one of my favorite rapids rides. Will never forget the time they let us ride it straight through three times in succession. Zoomerang is the only Boomerang I've ridden--having been warned about them by enthusiasts, I was somewhat surprised to find this ride not bad at all. I actually started to gray out on the loop. I guess I'm not surprised to hear that it's one of the best ones running.

Nice list! I’m going to Lake Compounce for the first time in 2022. Of course, I’m going because of Boulder Dash, but it looks like there are many other rides I need to ride. I didn’t even know they have a Screamin Swing, which is always one of my favorite flats.

Oh, yeah, and you're right about the classic wave swinger being unusually intense, though I hadn't thought about it much before. I've always loved these rides for some reason.

Boulder Dash is my favorite roller coaster. Never did it at night though, gotta try that next time I go.

*Going there for my senior trip and I'm so excited!!*

This was my local park growing up….I still visit from time to time. Wildcat gets a bad rap, but for those who grew up riding it and remembering that it was built in 1927, it is a great ride. You just have to “know how to ride it”. Front seat is the smoothest….sit on the left side, ride with the seat belt fastened tight, and feet forward. Remember…coasters built in the 20’s were designed with the idea they wanted to kill you! Crystal Beach Cyclone?

That walk through looks awesome 🙂🙂🙂! Thumbs up my friend!

Thank you, sir. I just watched this with the children after having to stop another review video short due to profanity. Well done, 5stars!

Boulder Dash was one of my favourite rides to run when I worked there. That was a great job.

Just added another theme park to my theme park bucket list!!! 😁Thanks for this video 🎢🙌💙

Imaging here for my 6th grade field trip soon and I'm very exited

I'm still bitter with the park for the removal of the Sky Ride. It was their most unique offering, a stand-out attraction to me, and something I made sure to ride every visit.

This looks like such a fun park.

...For top ride in New England, I think I would rate Wicked Cyclone and Superman slightly above Boulder Dash, for overall ride experience. On the other hand, Boulder Dash's use of terrain and setting makes it unique in a way they are not. (I haven't ridden Excalibur at Funtown Splashtown, which I suppose is the fourth potential contender for the elite.)

Im suprised we didnt see Wildcat on this ranking. A real underrated ride tho. I 100% agree with this whole ranking tho

I’ll be going for the first time, is Boulder Dash really that good? I’ve heard people say it’s the best wooden roller coaster they’ve ever ridden. Currently El Toro takes the top spot for me. I’m curious if this will top it?

Thanks I might go sometime here or there, and am excited to see what it offers

Thank you for showing me this because i want to see most of the rides before i go on my field trip

The swings is my personal favorite

Loved the video! I didn't know the park before so it was a lot of fun getting to know the attractions 😄

We're going there in June on a field trip. Can't wait!

Wildcat is my 4th favorite ride at Lake Compounce, and it didn't even make your top 15!!! Of course, with how crowded the park was, I only had enough time for 4 rides.

Yes thank you for it that was fun

Wow, i never thought that anything could be scarier then that kiddie coaster, woah

i also der recommend boulder dash back row you absolutely feel like your FLYING

I rly hope that phobia’s restraints won’t kill my thighs like tempesto did

Saw Mill Plunge is an underrated log flume

I haven’t came here in 6 years. This was a great explanation for what is to come. Which one is the scariest?

My favorite ride there is Boulder Dash followed by Ghost Hunt, Saw Mill Plunge, Phobia, Riptide Racer, Mammoth Falls, Croc-O-Nile, Bayou Bay Wave Pool, Zoomer's Gas N' Go, Tunnel Twisters and Wildcat. I chose not to ride Zoomerang because I didn't want to waste time with a cloned coaster I rode at other parks, Thunder Rapids was closed on the day I visited (even the walkway to Thunder Rapids from the Carousel was closed off which sucked because it was a really hot day and Venus Vortex broke down while we were three quarters through the line and they only had less than an hour before Crocodile Cove closed so they weren't going to fix it in time.

down time was traumatic i was gonna pass out dude

My favorite ride is the Wave Swinger.

What happened to the cyclone that was and still in one of my favorite rides along with boarder dash and zoomarang

I was just there for my camp field trip!

Some people thinked that the retrack they did for Wildcat for the 2017 season, made the ride better or decent, and what do you think in 2018 and 2019?

I’m going to lake compounce with my best friend soon, but I’m 9 years old and I don’t know what ride is appropriate for me!(Your a savage btw:)

just visited the park boulder dash was definitely the best ride at night you couldn’t see the drops coming wich made it even crazier!! wildcat was def not my favorite at all bc of the restraints they bobbled and hit you so much! but downtime got me screaming at the noise but not at the actual drop!!

Venus vortex is so fun!

my question for you is if you have been on the recently retracked Wildcat, I haven't been on in before it got the treatment, I visited the park for the first time the week I am posting this comment, and I thought wildcat was pretty good on the areas with the new track, for the areas that didn't get it, I could see were pretty rough, but I'm pretty resilient against rough wooden coasters.

Nice list. But how could you omit Wild Cat? The oldest wooden coaster in the U.S!

I go to lake compounds twice a year because I Live near And trust me balderdash is so good!!

I am going there for a school trip I hope it’s cool it reminds me of Adventureland so I will tell you the experience once I go there and I come back

Sky coaster was horrifying!! Don’t go on the ride unless you want to come really close to dying.

Is that sky coaster really more intense than the Zoomerang or Phobia?

Where’s my wildcat?🥺🥺

Boulder dash is my all time favorite coaster

I have a question, When did you first ride Ghost Hunt at Lake Compounce?

Down time is sooooo scary I past out when I was there but at was worth it

Anyone have any issues with weight or size restrictions?

I'm tp scared to do the thunder and lighting and zoomerang I am going today so I will try it!!!! .... maybe lok

I have been to lake compounce every year Scene I was 3 I’m 10 now I love thunder n lightning and rev o lution

Wave Swinger looks crazy

Haunted Graveyard actually moved to Quassy. 👍

Why did you not put Wildcat in this list? One of the most iconic attractions

What do you mean by “snapping” at 2:20 ? I’ve always been a fan of American flyers, and I didn’t know there was a strategy to riding… 😂

Canobie when will you rank the Minnesota coasters you’ve ridden?

1. Boulder dash 2. Wild cat 3. Wave swinger

Lake All-Stars in Bristol, Connecticut, United States of America with or without Jimmy's Wave Swinger

bolder dash was one my friend seth and i loved a lot i would of done more but we lost our friend who kept wondering off

thank god i live near here. i have a season pass also

I like Zoomerang’s colors

Why didn't you say the The ride twister

There's only 15 rides beside the little kidd y ones

I went to the revOlotuain bOY ME BE LIKE :YOHOHOHO

skyride was honestly most scary ride in the park

why didnt you include wildcat

I would add wild cat

Los Inquietos del Norte

I love how everyone agrees that wildcat needs to be closed down 🤣

I'm so sad bc they don't have the pirate ship😭

2:38 What?

Happy wildcat was NOT here. Sucked. It hurts so bad! If it didn’t then it would be a 10/10 but it’s so bad!

I think all these rides execpt Down timem is bad and sombody can get hourt

Ugh I hated american flyers. Made me super nauseous 🤣
