Coaster reviews

Get an off balance car and this thing will spin like crazy. Fun ride but nothing too crazy. Great for what it is

Airtimes First Drop Ejectors

I ride this all the time with it being at my home park and the first drop in the back is so incredible every single time. Tons of amazing airtime moments, and most of my rides do not let up on the last lap and it finishes strong enough.

Airtimes Inversions Duration Lap Bar

Incredible ride, truly a world class coaster with a wonderful layout and setting next to the Connecticut river. I used to complain about the lap bar but I haven't had an uncomfortable ride in a while after knowing how to position myself better. The first drop and airtime hills are amazing, with the 4th hill having absolutely insane ejector airtime. Favorite seat is the back, but the front is just as good due to the sense of speed. Everything about this ride is just great.. the operations, the capacity, the ride length, the location, etc.

First Drop Intensity Smoothness

This is a very good boomerang and rides quite smooth compared to Flashback at the nearby SFNE. You'll only experience very mild headbanging on the cobra roll. Everything else is comfortable and enjoyable. Intense vertical loop especially going backwards, and the first drop is always great.

Fun Discomfort Dead spots

I give this ride 3 stars for my fun rides I had on it before it became incredibly rough in recent years. After riding it on one of its last days open before closing for the entirety of 2023, it was hilariously bad. I've never experienced anything with so much jackhammering and rough spots that I had to ride it a 2nd time for how uniquely bad the experience was. Even the very front row was laughably rough and the constant groans and moans could be heard from the back of the train for the majority of the ride. The first drop and the following turn were fun and smooth, but every valley afterwards was just constant jackhammering. Approaching the brakes, all speed was lost and we barely made it up the final hill into the brake run. Will never forget how this rode, and I'm very interested to see what happens to this ride after the 2023 season.

Pace Fun Intensity

I would like to say that I really enjoyed this ride after riding once in the front and once in the very back. I felt the roughness that people always mention but it was very tolerable for me. The layout was fun and never died down until the brakes. Front row wasn't rough at all and it was my favorite woodie in the park.

Location Pace Duration Discomfort

This is a ride like no other and you absolutely have to ride it in the front. Very smooth and an insanely fun trip into the woods and back. The airtime you get is pretty much the same in any row. The first drop is amazing with the titan track and the pacing is top notch from start to finish. There's really nothing bad I can say about this ride until you sit in other rows. Sitting in a wheel seat can be quite uncomfortable after the titan track segment so I recommend an odd numbered row, unless you like to experience the roughness which I totally understand. I will also note that this ride almost always runs one train but with this being a small park, you still won't have to wait too long. A full queue is only 30-40 minutes and after 5 rides on a Sunday, the average wait was about 15 minutes.

Airtimes Launch Intensity

This is easily the 2nd best ride at Lake Compounce and it is very fun. The swing launch sequence is great and awesome in the back or in the front for the sense of speed. The hangtime is great after blasting up to the very top and you get some crazy airtime on the twisted drop afterwards. Capacity is not an issue because I've never seen the line for this coaster reach far out of the station, and dispatches are pretty quick. But make sure to get a comfortable lap bar position or it may be uncomfortable.
