*Lake Compounce Finalizes 2020 Schedule, Extends Season Passes Through 2021*
*Lake Compounce Family Theme & Water Park will conclude 2020 season on
Labor Day*
*BRISTOL/SOUTHINGTON, CT – * A roller coaster of a season at Lake Compounce
will come to a close next month.
Lake Compounce will finish its 2020 season with a final day of operations
on Labor Day, Monday, September 7. To show appreciation for our Season
Passholders’ support, Lake Compounce will extend all 2020 Silver, Gold &
Gold Deluxe Season Passes to include the 2021 Season.
“We are so grateful for our amazing team, as well as our guests, for
adapting to these extraordinary times. Without their efforts, this year
would not have been possible,” said Lake Compounce General Manager Larry
Gorneault. “Our Team Members have been tireless in implementing enhanced
health and safety measures to create the cleanest and safest environment
possible for our guests. We’ll wrap up this season on a high note on Labor
Day, and start getting ready for 2021.”
The extension for 2020 Silver, Gold, and Gold Deluxe Season Passholders is
automatic and will include the entire 2021 Summer Season. Extended
Passholders will also be able to visit during Lake Compounce’s 2021
Halloween and Holiday events, which will not take place this year. Guests
who previously purchased a 2021 Season Pass Extension will receive a credit
equal to the price paid for the extension product.
Beyond the return of the popular Haunted Graveyard and Holiday Lights
events, Lake Compounce will celebrate its 175th anniversary in 2021 with
the debut of the Venus Vortex water slide. Delayed by the COVID-19
pandemic, the park’s largest water slide to date will stand six stories
high in bold, bright green and yellow colors to offer an experience never
before seen in New England. Venus Vortex is slated to open with the rest of
Crocodile Cove on Memorial Day weekend 2021. Taking advantage of the
shorter season, Lake Compounce and Crocodile Cove will also receive
aesthetic upgrades around the park during the offseason.
There is still time to enjoy some summer fun this year, though! Lake
Compounce will be open daily through Sunday, August 23 and each weekend,
plus Labor Day, through September 7, 2020. The park is open 11 a.m. -7 p.m.
each day. Lake Compounce continues to offer heavily discounted single-day
admission for the remainder of the summer. For more information, please

protocols will be in effect for the entire run of the event.
“Our annual Fright Fest celebration is one of the most anticipated
Halloween events of the season. Given the current environment, we are
taking special precautions this year and offering our guests a version that
is still scary, provides lots of thrilling rides and Halloween fun, and
most importantly, is safe for our guests and team members,” said Six Flags
President and CEO Mike Spanos. “We will operate HALLOWFEST the same way we
have operated our parks all summer, with daily temperature checks and face
masks required for guests and team members prior to entry, social
distancing, and enhanced sanitization measures.”
From 2 to 6 p.m, families and young thrill-seekers will experience
*HALLOWFEST* *Thrills by Day* including:

funnel cakes made with Snickers candy, available for purchase.
For *Chills* *by Night *beginning at 6 p.m., all haunted attractions will
be available outdoors in the wide-open midways:
– Creepy fog, eerie lighting, and sinister music will create the perfect
backdrop for nighttime scares and chills including three haunted trails,

horns, and scary apparel, will be on sale along with everybody’s favorite
glow-in-the-dark necklaces, bracelets and light sticks.

create a safe Halloween experience that meets or exceeds federal, state,

overcrowding and all Members, Season Pass Holders, and guests with
