Boulder Dash

Been riding the Boulder Dash since the first year it opened back in 2000, and to this day I still never get tired of it. The track isn't very elaborate, and doesn't have a super high chain lift drop, but by no means does that mean it's not fun. This coaster is a prime example you don't need a ridiculously high drop to get the adrenaline flowing. It has just the right amount of hills and banks to mix things up throughout the duration. Whoever designed the track knew what they were doing. Set right on the side of Mount Southington, you get such a cool rush going through the trees.

I will say this right now, this coaster is INTENSE I'd rate it a 9 out of 10 for intensity. Right from the drop it maintains a ridiculous speed for nearly the entire track. Every hill you go over or bank YOU WILL FEEL IT. It knocks you around like noones buisness, but that's what I like about it It's just overall a crazy blast they really showed what a GOOD wooden coaster is. Definitely deserving of the Golden Ticket Award for best Wooden Coaster in the country year after year.

It sometimes has a bad rap because of the death of a landscaper who was struck and killed by a train during a test run years ago while he was trimming some bushes right under the track, but that was a freak accident and had nothing to do with the coaster itself. Just very unfortunate miscommunication between the ride testers and the grounds keeping staff.
