Lake Compounce Amusement Park?

Question

Is it safe? What is the best ride? Do you feel like you are going to fall out of the ride "Thunder n' Lightning"?

Answer 1

all amusement parks are inspected regularly. the only way someone can say one is safer than the other is the state they are located in. some states have lesser requirements than others. like the recent accident in california, the ride was inspected, and yet all the carnival rides at that fair were shut down becaiuse the one malfunctioned. the malfunction on the ride at hand was such a fluke that it is the first time this type of accident has ever happened on any swing ride built the same way. that was a yoyo ride but several others are built the same iden ticle way. the main cable snapped causing its demise. accidents are basically flukes, rider error, and hardly ever operator error or erection error. type this in your search bar - carnival ride accident report-this will throw you for a loop and read that article which is a summary of most ride accidents from last year, 2007.

Answer 2

yes it is safe. its just a little single family owned park. best ride is either wild cat or boulder dash. yes but its the G force i guess

Answer 3

Lake Compounce is a very safe park.  They have only had one recorded incident there in years, and that occurred in the "Lights Out" waterslide in the water park, where a boy drowned a couple of years back, but it turned out that the boy wasn't even able to swim, but his parents let him ride anyway.

All of the rides are very well-maintained and, as with every amusement park, they are checked for safety each morning before the park opens.

Thunder N Lightning does give you feelings of weightlessness and there are also times where your body is pressed against the restraint, just like with pretty much any ride that requires over-the-shoulder restraints.  While this can be unnerving (I ride all the time, and it still makes me nervous), it doesn't mean it is unsafe--even if there is some "give" to the restraint.  You will be able to tell that the restraint locks when the attendants are checking it; the restraints are perfectly safe.
