Lake Compunce is a very well-rounded park, with a healthy variety of thrill and family rides. The park has three roller coasters: Wildcat, a smaller wooden coaster; Boulderdash, a faster wooden coaster with speeds up to 65 mph; and Zoomerang, an inverted steel coaster which travels the track both forwards and backwards. There is also Downtime, a 185 foot free-fall ride. The park's food and drink options are outstanding. Free soft drinks are included with the admissions ticket. Park guests can fill 12 ounce cups with Pepsi brand soft drinks at many places throughout Lake Compounce. The dining options range from the excellent "Harborside Pizza" to the well-rounded "Croc Pot", a cafeteria which offers a wide variety of foods at expensive but not unreasonable prices. The downfall of Lake Compounce is its crowded and claustrophobic Waterpark. In fact, the small portion of the park was so crammed with people, I had no desire to even enter Splash Harbor. Overall, however, Lake Compounce is an excellent local destination and can provide a day of wholesome fun.
