Lake Compounce help

I'm planning a trip to Lake Compounce on July 3rd. Do you think it will be crowded that day? (like what do you think the average lines for boulder dash will be?) Is there anywhere near the park where I can get a coupon or a soda can or something for discount tickets? How much is discount? Any other tips? Thanks in advance for your help.

It's a small family park, so don't expect it to be as jam packed as major parks. You shouldn't have any problem with it. However, don't expect the line to move super fast (like Busch and Cedar Fair parks) and if there is not much visitors, Lake Compounce will not use the maximum capacity of the coasters.

Boulder Dash is the most popular coaster, so it should have the longest line. My visit on Friday 3 years ago, it's approximately 10 minutes for any row and 20 for front row. You gonna try both the first and last row. This is one of the best woodie I had ridden.

WildCat is a walk on. But beware, this classic was built when ppl have different thresold on "coaster pain". It's "wild" by today's standard and you will get thrown around very often. It's fun though, but just keep your knees and arms at the right place to avoid bumps.

Zoomerang, it's a walk on when I visited. However, shuttle coaster always have bad repution of being ultra slow in loading/unloading. So if the line is too long and you're pressed for time, skip it. There are so many Vekoma Boomerang coasters all over the world.

You will enjoy Lake Compouce. A small park with old time charm is so hard to find nowadays.
