Another shot of the #rollercoaster Wildcat at Lake Compounce, from our visit on May 24th.

Having spent the whole 2023 season replacing most of the track and large chunks of the structure, Gravity Group came back and did the last few hundred feet during the 2024-25 offseason. They haven't painted the new wood yet, and you can see that on the rise into the brake run here.

Wildcat had been notorious for being one of the roughest coasters in America, if not the world, before this work. Now it's a great, smooth ride with some airtime.

Detail of the white-painted lift hill structure of a classic wooden roller coaster. It's a partly sunny sky. There is a coaster train ascending the lift, full of riders some of whom already have their arms in the air, framed by the leafy branches of trees in the foreground. Just in front of the lift is the very end of the roller coaster's track, rising into the covered brake run, with some of its structure in white and some in unpainted wood. The brake run is supported by a building with a slanted roof at bottom of frame, with a sign in vintage postcard style identifying Lake Compounce as "America's First Amusement Park."

The iconic view of Wildcat's lift hill (and Phobia Phear Coaster and Down Time) looming above the entrance gate of Lake Compounce. The park had short hours today, with a bunch of school trips visiting, and Boulder Dash wasn't running, but Wildcat was. Since the track work over the past couple of seasons, it's running better than it has in decades and we were sure to get in a ride.

The highlight, though, was that their excellent raft ride Thunder Rapids (which can be frustratingly hard to find operating) *was* running today and we got in three rides on it. I think this was also the first time I actually went in the lake, at the small beach there.

The front entrance gate of Lake Compounce amusement park, a festive yellow-and-blue structure with turnstiles beneath. Behind it and some other brightly colored buildings rises the white-painted lift hill of a wooden roller coaster; behind that, an orange steel coaster and a tall drop tower; behind those, a forested mountainside.

Look! My haj-vis gives light here!
And that train, I could go in there! It first went round and round and round up in a tower and then it kept twisting and whooshing between the towers while our seats kept turning forward and backward and sideward. Was fun and haj-inclusive!
