By | May 5, 2016

BRISTOL, Conn. – Lake Compounce and its much anticipated new rollercoaster Phobia Phear Coaster are opening at 11am on Saturday, May 7th.

12 terrified riders have been chosen through an online contest to be the first to experience Phobia Phear Coaster on the park’s opening day at park opening immediately following a ribbon cutting to celebrate the new attraction. The Phobias of these 12 lucky riders span from clowns, butterflies, chainsaws, to of course rollercoasters. The general public is encouraged to attend this event on May 7th to watch the 12 brave riders and to then ride Phobia themselves.

Guests who are not 2016 Season Pass Holders yet can purchase Buy 1 Get 1 Free Regular Admission tickets on the park’s website that can be used on opening day.

Phobia features an inversion at 150 feet in the air—one of the highest in existence and the tallest in the Northeast. Guests will experience speeds of 65 mile per hour with many exciting and unique elements including multiple launches, a twisting heart-line Inversion, and ascending and descending twists.
