Lake Compounce 2017 Prediction

By -


For the 2016 season, Lake Compounce in Bristol, CT added Phobia. Phobia is a Premier SkyRocket II model, and is the parks fifth roller coaster. As of now, September 2016, the park has not released their 2017 attraction. I am going to list two options of what I think the park may add in 2017, and back it up by different reasons. Please give me some feedback on what you think about this new segment of the blog!

  • Return of  Lake Plunge Slides- Years ago, Lake Compounce had a set of Slides Called Lake Plunge. These slides twisted around and then ended in the lake. I remember them being a ton of fun. When the park removed them, they were not scrapped. They are actually still in storage. Why would they be saved if they were not going to be used again? If this happens, I think they will be located in the newly cleared area in the water park. I do not believe that they will keep the same name, nor will they still go into the lake. I believe a new pool will be built.
  • New Flat Ride/ Flat Package- I could possibly see this park getting a family/thrill ride flat package. The last flat this park added was Rev-O-Lution in 2011. It is a Zamperla Mega Disko. The park also just removed Enterprise, their only inverting flat. I could see the park adding a Zamperla Discovery/360 down in the area near Thunder Rapids. Their sister park Kennywood recently added one and guests love it. I could also see the park removing their Chance Wipeout for an Air Race or something similar. But there is no solid facts or anything pointing to a new flat ride.



I believe that these are the two most likely additions to the park. Honestly, either one would make me happy. But no matter what the addition is, Lake Compounce will still be a great, well rounded amusement park!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
