Another shot of the #rollercoaster Wildcat at Lake Compounce, from our visit on May 24th.
Having spent the whole 2023 season replacing most of the track and large chunks of the structure, Gravity Group came back and did the last few hundred feet during the 2024-25 offseason. They haven't painted the new wood yet, and you can see that on the rise into the brake run here.
Wildcat had been notorious for being one of the roughest coasters in America, if not the world, before this work. Now it's a great, smooth ride with some airtime.
The iconic view of Wildcat's lift hill (and Phobia Phear Coaster and Down Time) looming above the entrance gate of Lake Compounce. The park had short hours today, with a bunch of school trips visiting, and Boulder Dash wasn't running, but Wildcat was. Since the track work over the past couple of seasons, it's running better than it has in decades and we were sure to get in a ride.
The highlight, though, was that their excellent raft ride Thunder Rapids (which can be frustratingly hard to find operating) *was* running today and we got in three rides on it. I think this was also the first time I actually went in the lake, at the small beach there.
Bye bye twisty-turny-whooshy trains! We had fun with you! We are going to take big fast trains home. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Look! My haj-vis gives light here!
And that train, I could go in there! It first went round and round and round up in a tower and then it kept twisting and whooshing between the towers while our seats kept turning forward and backward and sideward. Was fun and haj-inclusive!

A few tailflops from the hotel...
... there are a lot of people ...
... and funny buildings ...
... and lots of nompf nompf ...
... and twisty turny trains ...
... and a haj train like @Katzi saw ...
WAIT
IS THIS TRUE?
Are we sleeping at a place with the upside down trains?
The place @Katzi loves to visit?
Best #BigHajarTour ever!

Riding roller coasters and other things at Lake Compounce:
There's a million (give or take) Kpop songs called Rollercoaster and I would've picked NMiXX's, but woo!ah! actually has scenes in front of our favourite merry-go-round and like half a second of an animated roller coaster in the MV so they get the nod.
woo!ah! (우아!) - 'Rollercoaster' M/V
Last of the #SanDiego trip pictures. This is the Giant Dipper at Belmont Park. It's a near-twin of Santa Cruz's Giant Dipper.
A few years ago I took some pictures the Dipper at the SC Boardwalk and the white framing was not very well distinguished from the sky behind it, and that's when it really clicked that I needed to try filters. So I applied that lesson here and it works. Also got a sky that looks a bit more dramatic than it really was, but not complaining about that.
