Vernon Road.

Now, Town Council member John Barry has announced his support for closing a portion of Mt. Vernon Road to allow the amusement park to expand east onto land it owns across the road.

“I know if would be controversial,” Barry said, “because it connects to Bristol, but we should look at it,” he told the council this week.

Town Council Chairman Edward Pocock III said the idea was something at least to explore.

From the Lake’s Facebook page:

Drum Roll Please..! The NEW Season Pass benefit is BRING A BUDDY FOR LESS DAYS!

And in September for $15 off regular admission! This is an unlimited offer, bring a buddy with you every day or just once or twice, its up to you!
