The Connecticut Theme Park Responsible For Downing Milli Vanilli
Theme parks are always trying to outdo one another with bigger rides, and that usually corresponds with increases in ticket prices. So if you’re looking to spend your summer roller coaster dollars in a more unique location, consider visiting the country’s longest operating amusement park. Since 1846, Lake Compounce has been opening every season to greet families from Connecticut and the Northeast.
They’ve upped the fun quotient in recent years, and there are quite a few rides and attractions to keep you entertained for the day. We’re especially fond of Boulder Dash—the wooden coaster that winds its way through the woods while reaching speeds of over 65 mph. But if you’re more of a fan of older wooden coasters, don’t miss The Wildcat. This rickety old thing will give you a thrill as it drops 68 feet and feels as though it will shake itself apart at every turn.
If you get sick of all the rides and entertainment, just remember to get a picture near the Zoomerang coaster, while doing your best impression of Milli Vanilli. This is the place where they were caught lip-syncing, but the amphitheatre was torn down to make room for more rides.
After you fill yourself with hot dogs and popcorn, you’ll be happy to know that the park provides free soda all day long; hopefully there’s a sufficient supply of restrooms. Tickets start at about $35, but there are usually plenty of discounts, so look around if you’re planning to visit.
