Canobie Fan Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Yeah... So I went to Lake Compounce on Monday.. But I didnt get around to doing a TR till now. Oh.. and my car...broke.. So I had to drive this POS to the park > Random cow game photo... Yet Dash only ran one train.... (LAME!) Hmm.. Look at all the people in the park! PEDO-CLOWN! Would be fun... If it lasted 2 mins longer... Such a good ride.... First sally gun+dark ride ever... I think. Hey JamminJ!... Remember me? (Yeah... That still hasnt gotten old) This is like porn for Dan G / EastCoastn She liked Dash.... But wildcat.. Not so much. WORST-FLYERS-EVER! Hey sexy.... Tallest coaster in the state... lolz @ LC giving a shout out to the newest Kennywood owned park... Storyland in NH. My friend Steph came down with me after the park was 'on' some tv show she likes... It was fun for what it is.. But it has a wicked low PPH. Also new for 2007.... Zoomers!.. Little powered car ride. Yeah Hi. Oh yeah!... I rode it.. Kiddie coaster!!! New for 2007 kiddie ride. Woo... Only looping coaster in CT. Free soda.... (Yeah. HW isnt the only park that can do it ) It was hot.. So we did use the waterpark for a bit. The 'best' slide in the park.. "Lights Out" Oh.. And you can swim in the lake.. Lake Compounce. Fish... Yeah so.. Dash got a lot of trackwork this year... And is running almost as good as it was in 2000... yay More parks need trolleys Mmm.. Boulderdash.... New for 2007 boat So yeah.. The SkyRide is still the second best ride in the park.. Uh. Hi Remember that TV show back in the 90's with this ride.... Wooo.. more sexy dash... = owned Hey look! Its Lake...Compounce! This photo is dedicated to Tommy Faircloth. But more on that later.. Now its time for trolley pov! And the only reason I ever come to this park.... Mmm... Dash.... Downtime says "Hey Visionland / Alabama Adventures" Once you see all this crap.. I think you know you're at the park.
EastCoastn07 Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 This is like porn for Dan G / EastCoastn Sad, but true...It's just too bad Kennywood can't get both sides of our Swing working.
Skyscraper Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Awesome Trip report Canobie fan ! I can't wait to go for the first time this sunday evening ! Boulder dash is running almost as good at the opening ? That's great news !
coasterdude5 Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Remember that TV show back in the 90's with this ride.... Ah, thank-you, I had been trying to think of which ride it was, for some reason I thought it was Blizzard River at SFKK. You learn something new every day, haha.
SharkTums Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Nice haircut, you look slightly less emo...oh wait, no.
Canobie Fan Posted June 23, 2007 Author Posted June 23, 2007 Boulder dash is running almost as good at the opening ? That's great news ! Dood.. Dash is SOOO good this year... Much better than it was the 2 times I rode it last year.... But stay in the front.. The back cars are still 'rough'.. With not as good airtime.. Dash always has been a front seat ride... And still is
Canobie Fan Posted June 23, 2007 Author Posted June 23, 2007 Nice haircut, you look slightly less emo...oh wait, no. I was all "cut it short.. but not that short"
gk Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I road Boulder Dash last season and it was fun, but the potholes were nasty. Looks like I've got to finagle a visit to LC this season to see what it's really about.
cfc Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 The cow looks seriously stoned--but Boulder Dash looks cool.
burningstroller Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Nice TR. Love the retro looking Storyland billboard. I was at Kennywood a few weeks ago and they had all the KW Entertainment parks painted along the entry tunnel; I wonder when Storyland will be added.
asr Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Nice TR, Lake Compounce looks like a nice little park. Also, isn't SFNE's Batman: The Dark Knight technically in Connecticut? If so, it would take away both of Zoomerang's already pointless records...
Canobie Fan Posted June 23, 2007 Author Posted June 23, 2007 I think the only part of SFNE that is in CT is parking lot.. On the nonpark side (way way back where tram stop 3 is)
Bubba Z Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Great shots from the Ferris wheel, I never ride that thing. I rode BD earlier this year and still think the part before the on ride photo feels like the train is going over railroad tracks. It's smoother than the potholes last year , but that feeling is so odd and fun. It's great to see zoomer's finally open as well.
imbordisux Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 "TV Show from the 90's"? It looks vaguely familiar, but I can't think of it. Also a question about the Sally ride: When Monica and I were there last year, it seemed unfinished, like the first half was themed, and then the second half was just empty black rooms. Has it always been like that? Or was it maybe just that some of the lights weren't working, making it seem like there was nothing there?
coasterbilly Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Sweet, i went here last year and indeed enjoyed this park alot, it's one of the better smaller parks with obviously an incredible woodie. Retracked sounds like an amazing thing, i did get rocked around last year but it's still my 4th fav woodie
SFNE Dude Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Is this seriously running as good as it was in 2000? I remember riding it in 2000 and being so blown away by everything. It was fast, extremely smooth, and had tons of airtime. Since then it's gradually gotten worse although still a great coaster. That's amazing news and if its true then I have to get down to Compounce ASAP.
Canobie Fan Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 Just stay in the front.. As you go back it gets worse.
coastercrazed49 Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 ^ But doesn't the back row give you a more intense ride , and is it very rough or just a little?
Canobie Fan Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 No. Not really.. Dash always has.. And it does have more air in the front seat than in the back.
