In my opinion, Lake Compounce falls short of having the wooden coaster 1-2 punch combination that Knoebels offers. While Knoebels offers two strong wooden coasters, LC has a very, very strong woodie and an average one. Wildcat, for its age, looks great. Its the centerpiece of the park and probably the first thing youll notice as you enter. To Lake Compounces credit its not old and rotting like a lot of woodies half its age. It also runs better than youd expect with a pretty steep first drop. Aside from the first drop though, the Wildcats ride is pretty average and not very memorable. Sure you get thrown around some but thats to be expected for a woodie of this age and style. And its never too intense or too rough. On the downside, the Wildcat only runs one train which is kind of annoying, but if youre at LC on a weekday like I was its worth maybe a 15 or 20 minute wait. Final Rating - 5.5 (Average-Approaching Slightly Above Average)
