Lake Compounce
On December 3, 1684, his tribe signed a deed that left Compound's Lake to a group of white settlers, including John Norton, who had migrated to central Connecticut from Massachusetts.The property was left to the settlers in exchange for a small amount of money and miscellaneous items, including a large brass tea kettle.[6][7] The park's history goes back to 1846, when Gad Norton hired a scientist to perform an experiment using explosives, which failed.An all-time attendance record of 5,000 people was set in the spring of 1941, when Tommy Dorsey's reorganized band featured Frank Sinatra, who had yet to reach the height of his career.[11] The effects of the Great Depression and the growing usage of the automobile brought trolleys in the United States into a decline, which negatively impacted attendance at Lake Compounce.[13] Factors such as poor marketing, low attendance, and repeated ride outages caused Hershey to sell the park after two seasons in 1987, a decision that upset local representatives.That year, JEG's financial troubles were exposed when a check the company wrote to Guns N' Roses bounced, and the performance was cancelled.This has required the moving of nearby Mount Vernon Road to the north to allow the park more room for expansion.Phobia Phear Coaster features three linear synchronous motor (LSM) launches and a heartline roll at 150 feet (46 m) high.[21][22] In early July 2017, Lake Compounce shut down Sky Ride — a twenty-five minute round trip chairlift from the park up to the top of the Southington Mountain ridge.The remote and inaccessible nature of the lift's path and terminus on top of Southington Mountain were cited by Brick as reasons for the closing.Rides still operate during the event, and when the sun goes down, scare actors roam the park and four haunted houses open.
