The park’s 100-year-old Wildcat roller coaster will reopen after going through the first phase of a two-year wood re-tracking project with Gravity Group, using their vertically laminated, prefabricated track.

This is the only sensible solution for a coaster from the Golden Age. It’s a modern treatment that also stays true to the original.
I’ve never been to Compounce but I was reading the other day that a 1911 trolley ride that took visitors along the shore line is being removed. Im not sure why but there was much crying over it.
Charm, loss of charm.
Compounce being an old trolley park, had an old trolley that would have been like what was used for people to come and go from the park. It was historical, and what would have existed at the park many moons ago.
As someone who rode that trolley it was very cool, and it is a loss. No different than the loss of any historic ride at an old park.
