Boulder Dash question

I guess the park waited a bit too long to add that spinning coaster, eh? I understand that was a plan for the past few years.

Antique cars will be nice, although I would think that there is a more scenic spot in the park for a ride like that than by Zoomerang, which is IMHO one of the least picturesque spots at LC. It's basically a small field with a Boomerang in the middle of it, not too many trees or anything else to look at. Then again, the park does seem a little short on room so maybe that's the only place they could put a sprawling ride like that?

Hmm, new Antique Car ride at LC, construction at CP with spray paint seen in the Antique Car area....

Hmmm........HMMMMMM.....nah....

Regarding the hit-and-run nature of the park - DON'T DO IT THAT WAY!!!! :)

We planned on the ol' hit-and-run in the first half of our day, followed by the same approach at Quassy then an early drive into NYC when we hit the area in 2002.

We ended up closing the park at LC, skipping Quassy altogether, getting into NYC way too late and made a point to let them know what a great park they had on the way out. Some big LC fans at the Gonchar mansion. :)

And I still list Boulder Dash as my #1 woodie in Mitch's wood poll.

LC is small park charm done the right way.

^ I didn't even care for BD that much on my first visit (see Moosh's post re: daytime rides). Good, solid, not fantastic ride.

PARK, however? Let's just say that the Gonchar mansion AND the gator hovel, er, swamp both house BIG fans of LC...

P.S. My second visit was still daytime, but with better results on BD. "Charm"....in abundance...and then some. :)

SPOILER!!!!!!!!
That website I was talking about is still around:

Ah! I remember that site! Awsome find dude, awsome.

I had 4 straight laps (seven overall) on Boulder Dash two summers ago at dusk. The have reduced admission after 5. It was the best woodie in my book until Phoenix took the top spot 3 weeks later that year. I love the park. The past two years Lake Compounce has been the 'beneficiary' of one my sick days. Same deal this year.

Riding Dash at night I felt like I was the bionic man after just taking a combo hit of speed and acid. It seriously felt like it was running a good 15 - 20 mph faster than in the daytime. My #4 wooden. :-)

Boulder Dash is absolutely insane at night. Too bad the park has limited night hours during the summer, as they seem to often close before it gets completely dark.
