There is something about the sound of a carousel's band organ, the distant screams from a coaster and the laughter of riders of all ages that just completes a visit to a great amusement park like Lake Compounce.



While I love the parks and I love the rides having Bond with me makes it all better.



You can just plop rides down anywhere and have a park but you have a great park when you take the time and have enough pride to dress up what you have like Lake Compounce did here with their Pirate ride.



I really love Pirate Ship rides like this one.  It is great just sitting in the back where you get some nice negative-g's as you reach the apex of the swing.  Plus I love the concept of taking something as simple as the motion for a backyard swing and turning that into a really fun ride that is not just for the kids.



I wish I could take the Enterprise for a ride because the few that I rode when I was a kid were fun.  They were fun up until the point where I glanced half a degree from the rides line of motion and motion sickness landed on my like a ton of bricks.
