Been going to Compounce since the 70's.... That's right, the 70's.. It was somewhat lame at the time, but recent improvements make it a great place to take the kids / grandkids. Updated rides, better food, and somewhat ressonable prices makes it a hit.

This park will not overwhelm you with costumed cartoon characters. IT is quite nostalgic while have plenty of modern thrill rides. Appeals to all ages.

Enjoyed a day there with 6 adults and children ages 12, 6, 6, and 2. Good burgers, etc to be found, and the bumper cars and water rides were fun. The little kids most liked the kiddie water park, so take suits because adults can wade in too, there were animal slides and trickling water plus a climbable pirate ship....

So much fun. I love to go with my friends who are terrified. Always fun. Long wait so buy tickets early if possible. Rides and food always fun. Every year the workers put on their rendition of Thriller

If you live in CT, this is definitely worth checking out. My favorites are Boulderdash and Ghost Hunt. The water park is a nice bonus in the summer time. If you like haunted attractions, The Haunted Graveyard is one of the best I've ever seen. There is also free Pepsi drinks provided all day.

To Start....they always have free Pepsi Co drinks everywhere. I'm looking forward to 2012 because they have a number of Water park rides opening. It's not expensive. Bolderdash, is one of the Fastest WOODEN Roller Coasters I've ever been on. On a good day, it can reach over 72 MPH.
