Lake Compounce- The Haunted Graveyard Photos

By -
This past weekend, I visited The Haunted Graveyard at Lake Compounce in Bristol, Connecticut.

According to their website, this is the story of how The Haunted Graveyard came to be: 
"The Haunted Graveyard was created by owner Ernie Romegialli, whose daughter was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of six.To take her mind off the candy she couldn’t have, Romegialli threw himself heart and soul into decorating the family house for Halloween. This led him to conceive of an open attraction with a dual purpose – to give people a good scare, and to raise money for the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation."
The different scenes of the haunt are all extremely elaborate, and incredibly detailed!
From Cemeteries to Temples, you never know what you will encounter next. 
The props are all incredibly creepy. A few times throughout my 45 minute journey, I had no idea what was real or a prop!
The Haunted Graveyard had\s both indoor and outdoor set pieces, which makes for a very cool environment!
The actors are absolutely incredible, and do more than jump scares. They really make the atmosphere special with creepy movements and timing.
All in All, The Haunted Graveyard put on a terrific spectacle this season, and I cannot wait to visit again next season! If you haven't checked it out, I highly urge you to visit!

Park Photos

The entrance area looks terrific with the tank pumping fog into the courtyard!

Phobia looks great at night! It's a little hard to see, the the headstone in front of the sign says R.I.P Enterprise, which formerly resided in Phobias current spot.
Here is an example of some of the great theming around the park.

Any finally Wildcat. The park is in the middle of a much needed paint job, which includes white structure, black wood stacks, and orange handrails. It is looking great!
They are also constructing a Brand New Entrance! I believe they're going to be putting the former PTC train on this newly constructed track segment. It is sure to be amazing!

And while I do not have any photos of it, I got two night rides in on Boulder Dash in the back row! It is running amazing in my opinion, and to this day, nothing beats this ride at night!

Thanks For Reading! Don't forget to comment and share!

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
