LC had a excellent opening day today. Lots of new signs, fences, and other things. Here are some pics

Front entrance with new signs on both sides.

More signs, (closed rides sign, rides sign)

New fences on Wave Swinger and around Revolution's Q line. Wave swinger was closed most of the day.

New Ghost Hunt sign

Same BD sign, new lettering. They still left the fastest and longest on the east coast

NEW BLACK LAP BARS LOOK AWESOME!

A few new signs the exits of rides.

The turn before the chainlift definitely needed new track how about the rest of the ride lol. There was another section of track replaced around the 6th hill. The first 3 hills need work!

Splash Harbor is now Crocodile Cove

Here are a few Riptide Pics
It looks like there will a railroad crossing to get to Riptide Racer.




More coming soon.

Great pictures! The park is looking really nice this year. Can't wait to get out there this summer.

New Angry Birds game, there are weights on the pigs. I saw people hit them and they would barely move. Thats why I don't play games

This is the "new ride". The person at the parking booth said this was a new ride

Whats up with the flyers? My guess is just putting them up.

New Saw Mill Plunge pumps.

According to the park map, the train flys off the track by Riptide Racer . The Rainbow Riders were also not on the map, but the name and paths were lol. Also the dock for Lake Plunge is being used for the swimming area.

A view of the Ferris Wheel mods.

The driving dance cart. There is a dance zone and the cart plays music. It drives around to different sections in the park. I also noticed there are no shows in the starlight theater

Deals on games.

And lastly my least favorite new thing. Preferred Parking....


Looks like they are going to pave the preferred area.
$13 for preferred parking.

Here are a few notes.
-Ghost Hunt still has sad guns.
-There were 2 smokers in line for Revo, and after 2 minutes the employees told them to put it out, and did nothing else.
-Only about 6 line jumpers on BD.
-There is another family dryer in front of Saw Mill Plunge.
-Wildcat needs new track on every hill. It is painful even in the front. I feel bad for people who think the ride is tamer then BD and want to ride it as a beginner coaster
-I had about 12 people say hi to me on sky ride
-I have a feeling the Angry Birds game is going to rake in a lot of money especially in the summer/October.

Got a total of 8 rides on BD. At the end of the day I got 3 rides with one wait

LC just needs to eliminate line jumpers and line smokers, they are a serious problem. Overall a great opening day.

Excellent TR and awesome pics, thanks for the update. i was hoping to make it over there this weekend but i had to work today

Great TR! Nice pictures!
Someone please tell me whyyyyyyyy they changed Splash Harbor to Crocodile Cove? That's NOT an attractive name!

[koasterkid]

Yeah I do like splash harbor much more. I thought that Crocodile Cove was going to be the expansion rides but the sign by the tunnel says all water rides are in Crocodile Cove. They still have to rename the splash harbor gift shop.

Nice pictures. I went to Lake Compounce on friday for the Educational day and ran into Jerry (park GM) and he told me the American Flyers blew a motor. He expects them open next weekend. Also, I do not like new name for Splash Harbor. I can't even bring my fingers to type the horrible re name. The park looked great but did you happen to notice a sound when Waveswinger was stopping? It was an odd sound like something was grinding. It's odd because according to LC the waveswinger was rebuilt and all the parts where brand new. I'm looking forward to a good season at LC as I go there often.

It was open until about 1ish then I saw it on its side not moving coming from Zoomerang which was weird. Then it went back to the normal position. Hopefully they will get it going again soon.

[JayJay719]

Well hopefully they can fix whatever is wrong with it fast. Waveswingers are one my favorite rides.

Crocodile Cove sounds like a swamp! Like it's part of the Everglades in Florida. Ew.
