Listen to the critic on this one. This is the coaster that got me into really liking rollercoasters. PLUS when you go up the lift hill you have land beside you on both sides since you are going up a (mountain) hill so it’s not like you are up in the air with nothing around.

Actually it’s got one of the easiest drops for novices. There’s not much of a dropping feeling because it’s got that swooping turn. You’ll love it, just expect a wild ride until the very end.

I never been on and am going soon. I’m not a big roller coaster fan and my friends are in a group with me and talking me into going. Will I like it . Is the first drop really bad.

I was just there last week and I have to say that it was Boulder Dash that made me want to go! I was kinda scared my nephew was going to sucked out but he was ok! Me I loved the up and downs it was great!

This is one of my all-time favorites, made even better by the track modifications they made recently.

I only rode this once, basically testing it to see if it was Ok for my young son to ride. I love the setting, tearing through the woods at high speed, but the ride was pretty rough, not as bad as the Cyclone in Six Flags New England, but rough enough to somewhat ruin the ride. It was too much of a brain-rattler to let my kid go on for now.

I can’t remember if I was sitting in the back, so next time maybe I’ll try for a seat closer to the front and see if that helps.

i live is southington which is like half of the amusment park. i go there very often with my freinds and have a seasons pass. we love ging on the thrilling ride boulder dash. sometimes in the night when like nobody is there we go on again and agian. the reason we do this is because we love taking differnet poses in the pictures. in the night it is also scarier because its all dark in the mountains. i love how it streches almost throught the whole park so you can see everything on the ride. and yes the did make it soo the ride is less bumpy. the only thing is if you go on the weekends at like noon the ride id totally packed!!! so you can tell its a crowed favorite. we thank you for making it the 6th best wooden coaster in the world.

With the re-tracking you mentioned Boulder Dash just might earn that ’10′. It’s good to hear that Lake Compounce believes in maintaining their rides.

Thanks for stopping by Ben.

I had mistaken my years. I meant to say that 05/06 were its worst years. 07 was the first year it opened with the refurbished track and it will be finished for the 2008 season.
