Jayjay719 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 So today was the fourth annual Lake Compounce offseason tour. I want to thank the following people for an awesome day at the lake...Eric and Jerry (the general manager) for allowing us to come for the day and take a tour of the Lake. Sue, thanks for everything as well, it was great to meet you and I look forward to seeing you and Rich on Saturday. Ok I'm not good with remember stuff but I'll let the pics do the talking. For those wondering, those horrible seat dividers will be back this season but Jerry is looking into it. This year they will run the Blue and Green trains that were purchased last year from Hershey Park. These were used on the Wildcat. Ok on to the photos... I'll break it up into a few parts. NERD SHOT!

Jayjay719 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 This past offseason, the work on Boulder Dash completed and the trick track was taken out. What was out in the place? Well, I will show ya! Ok so during the question and answer time Jerry showed us some drawings for the water park expansion. I didn't get all them on cam, dummy me. But this is the water coaster. Wildcat waiting for opening day. Butt Shots! Walking to the training room for some lunch, we are all hungry. Boulder Dash is sexy still. Sue and Rich will their yellow train that they were married on. Ok the back part of he tour. Here's Wildcat's train. Turn around... Boulder Dash's new hump! Naked Music Express. This has one more year Jerry said and then its being taken out. They have ideas of what may replace it. I'll keep it hush hush though. Coaster Porn baby! Footer touchy...

Jayjay719 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ok here's the last batch of photos. I don't remember much of the question and answer session but after that we ate lunch. We had pizza and some desserts. After that we took the rest of the tour and had a group shot. I must say that this my second tour and I had a blast. I met some awesome people. The Yankee Emporium dropped Yankee from it's name and is now the Lake Compounce Emporium. They renovated it this past off season from top to bottom and it looks great. Although there are no new rides this year, the Lake had 3.5 million dollars of improvements done. They bought the kiddy pirate ship from Wild West World but will be installing it next year. They couldn't install it this year because Circus World is circused theme, and the ride is westerned themed. Eventually they will use two trains on the train ride. Ok more pictures. I'll end this trip report with our Whip for the Journey. The Coov Mobile. BTW, we did drive past Six Flags New England. No pictures though....:(Thanks for reading! Run Fat Boy Run! Too bad our fat boy was sleeping...as usual. Lets go to VIP! But lets make a quick stop at the new Stew's In Newington. I work at the Stew Leonard's in Norwalk. After dinner we started our journey back home. Only an Hour and 15 minutes. Here is Andrew sleeping. Which he does a lot on our trips. I thought this was cool. Baseballs... Red Robin....YUM Our favorite place to eat. Our day didn't end there though. We had our eyes set on going to Red Robin in Enfield for dinner. Bye Boulder, see ya in May. This concluded our tour. Here is a group shot with all of us and Jerry kneeling down. My favorite flat ride is the swings. Inside the Emporium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
