      The 3d clown wall panels you see are pieces from a walk through haunt that was originally from Kennywood, but was sent to be setup at Lake Compounce in the ballroom sometime in the early 2000’s. The whole haunt was painted by Larry Kirchner from St. Louis, who has made many impressive black light haunts and attractions.

    I've been to Lake Compounce. They used to have Garfield as their mascot. I didn't get a chance to go this summer though but the waterpark is fun. There have also been some reports of paranormal activity there. There's also a legend that the Native Americans that sold the land were cheated out of their property and the chief drowned himself in the lake.

    I live five minutes from Lake Compounce. It's one of my favorite amusement parks. Boulderdash is my favorite wooden roller coaster that I've ever ridden. The Wildcat, the old classic, wood coaster in the park was the first roller coaster I ever rode. It's rough as hell, but the thing was built back in 1927! I believe that it's been declared a historical landmark or something like that as well.

    I brought my nephew here at least once a week during the summer. He loves it here!! We did go to ride rides at night but not the haunted graveyard. He's still too young. But over the summer during one trip it was so slow we rode that Phobia roller coaster 5 times in a row, never getting off! We rode it 9 times total that trip. I definitely felt it the day after! But it's so close and just big enough for my nephew and I to seek away for the day! Wish you did a meet up while in CT!

    Howdy, Jacob. Another cool video. The 2 people on a Ferris wheel used to be common practice and I'm kind of surprised you couldn't figure it out. If someone has a medical emergency (or anxiety type) while at the top of the ferris wheel, the other rider can holler down to the operator, or let them know when the bucket passes, or if someone passes out or becomes dizzy, the other person can secure them in their seat. At many carnivals and fairs that I have worked at some 30-40 years ago, this was standard procedure. Most places no longer do it, but they probably have better insurance.

      @@BeeWhistler If you want to see what it was, it's a well known flat ride that's been around for a LONG time. Just google "Enterprise flat ride" and you'll find it. It was this big wheel that starts laying on it's side, and the riders ride these things attached to it. The wheel then tips all the way up and it makes everyone go pretty much upside down. I've seen it at carnivals back in the 70's when I was a kid.

    My friend and I reviewed this place, they said they'd send us in ahead of others, no group and told everyone we could film and that we're reviewers.
    We got stopped EVERY SCENE *AT LEAST* once by actors and security telling us not to film or take pictures AND we had a group up our ass. I kinda chuckled when I realized you weren't getting bothered.
    The haunt really was great though, really nice set ups and seeing the starry night sky as you make your way through the nightmare was almost psychedelic and for that I love it.
    If interested, Fright Haven and Evidence of Evil are other great haunts in CT.
