What's New at America's Oldest Theme Park?

Friday May 15, 2009
The nation's oldest amusement park, Lake Compounce, is located here in New England in Bristol, Connecticut, and for the 2009 season, visitors will find extra enticements to visit the park including three new rides, a Slush Factory, new shows and more--plus old favorites like Boulder Dash (pictured), the longest, fastest wooden roller coaster on the East Coast.

Quick Tip: Purchase Lake Compounce discount tickets online.
