Lake Compounce Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Since the announcement is scheduled for next weekend I'm thinking this might be a new major attraction. Or at least I could hope. They also seem to be teasing about a coaster on their Facebook page with responses to comments.

Heard an interesting rumor about a coaster: something bigger than a spinner. We'll see.

Can you tell us about said rumor?

 

What I heard it would be (and this box seems haunt related to me btw) I'd rather not say for some legit reasons, but what I would say is that from I understand it was kinda chosen to go to that park by Palace rather than Lake Compounce having a budget for capex and saying, "oh we want one." I also don't 100 percent believe it and I'm not putting my name on a rumor I don't believe in fully.

I'm hoping for another launch coaster like Wicked. I REALLY wanna ride one of those.

As far as I know, Lake Compounce hasn't Ridden Wicked, however, the Kennywood Operations Team and Lagoon's were pretty darn tight many years ago when I worked there. I do know people from Kennywood and a park in Japan visited Lagoon to Ride Wicked in 2007. I also know Knoebel's and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk visited Lagoon in 2012, and both took a gander at Wicked and Spider.

And it shows...watch a POV of Sky Rocket and Wicked back to back and tell me the former wasn't at least partially inspired by the latter, especially with the first halves of both rides.

Wow I actually never saw the similarities between Sky Rocket and Wicked. I really hope we do get something like Wicked as that would be awesome!

Yeah, Sky Rocket looked like Wicked from the Very Beginning. The first half has basically the same Elements, except Sky Rocket is Banked to the Right up into the Safety's.
