Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (11/24/09) A Screamscape reader with contacts at Lake Compounce tell us that the the park will not be adding in a virtual queue system for 2010 after all. No word on the Kennywood side of the rumor yet.
    (9/8/09) A trip report from Lake Compounce has been added to Negative-G.
    (6/17/09) The summer may now be in full swing, but check out this Boulder Dash POV video posted to Theme Park Review shot earlier this season that shows off all the off-season track replacement work that was done to the ride by GCI.

2010 - Nothing is known at this point...

2011-2012 - Waterpark Expansion - (12/11/08) Lake Compounce’s will delay the expansion of their waterpark by at least a year, due to $3.3 million in state aid funds that wont be coming this year that were to help move the half-mile stretch of Mount Vernon Road away from the park. The original plan was to open the first phase of the waterpark expansion by 2010.
    (2/7/08) Lake Compounce is planning to build a new 75 foot tall waterslide as just one aspect of a new 6 acre expansion project that will be complete by 2010. The project will also include a “crow's nest slide tower, a beach-themed kiddy pool, a "boogie board" wave pool and a wave-action river.”
    (3/5/07) There is a small update about the expansions planned for the waterpark that say it will be 2010 before they are ready to open. The expansion will be done in two or three phases and include a bigger wave pool, children’s play areas, new slides, interactive water play areas, lounging areas and more. But first, they are still waiting for Mountain Vernon Road to be moved before they will begin the $15 million expansion project that will allow for a 15-20% expansion of the park.

???? - Spinning Coaster - On Hold - (8/17/07) The spinning coaster idea may not be as far off as some may think it seems, as the park is still rumored to be going through revised designs for the ride. If built, we’ve heard that they are now talking with Mack about the same spinning coaster system used at Knott’s Berry Farm on Sierra Sidewinder. I’m told that they are looking into a custom layout that will be placed at the base of the mountain near the Rapids right now.
    (8/2/06) A reader sent me a news article about the park where it was mentioned that the plans to move Mount Vernon Road are suddenly coming into play far more quickly than they had thought. If the road project continues to move ahead quickly, they may not build the coaster in 2008 at all while they focus on preparing to build the new waterpark expansion. They have approval for the coaster and that approval is good for 10 years, so they could add it at any time, but they are now no longer locked into the 2008 season right now.
    (7/27/06) Lake Compounce has asked for permission to build a “Spinning Roller Coaster” to start construction in 2007 and open the ride in 2008. Along with the coaster, they are also asking to build a new food service area. The indication from the town meeting indicated that this could would also “go through the forest” like you do on Boulder Dash and up on the mountain. It would be placed somewhere between the chairlift and the River Rapids. Right now I’m thinking this could be a custom layout ride and not an off the shelf Spinning Mouse ride. I’d lean more towards the Gerstlauer Spinning Coaster system right now if I had to guess.
