Lake Compounce Reborn as Historic Park Sparks Revival

Lake Compounce in Bristol CT, America's oldest continually operating amusement park, underwent a $50 million transformation after Kennywood Entertainment took over in 1996 with Tom Wages as general manager. The makeover preserved historic elements like the 1927 Wild Cat roller coaster and 1911 carousel while adding new rides, a Main Street complex, Splash Harbor in 1998, and a revived amphitheater scene attracting guests with classic performances and modern thrill rides.
