Token Yankee Guy Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 So today, James and I went to Lake Compounce, because lakecompounce.org and the management of LC were holding an off season tour of the park for the 2nd year in a row. So James told me about this a few weeks back and I joined up, so he came down and spent a few nights at my house, and today we drove down to Bristol for the tour. We were their from like 10am till about 3pm. They told us about their new screaming swing, and some general facts about how the park operates, and their new ride for 2007. So all in all, it was a great time, shame it had to be a bit cold and windy. Here are some photos From across Lake Ave, the park. In crates just nearby contain the seats themselves Below those tarps is one of the group of seats for Thunder 'n Lightning Wildcats front train Enterprise cars and Boulder Dash cars in storage Boulder Dashes awesome lift hill Thunder Rapids station The boats from Thunder Rapids and the flyers from American Flyers are stored in the picnic grove area That's not even the top of the Sky Ride, it goes a lot higher. It does give great views Lake Compounces Trolley. Turns out it's leased from the Trolley Museum in New Haven.
