The setting of a coaster going through a forest is so beautiful. Unbelievable!

Roller coaster deep in the forest and you don't need a disney theming. Absolutely beautiful classical ride.

I like how it's surrounded by trees. Very pretty landscape but I'm sure it's extra work for the park to maintain.

I recently went on Boulder Dash and believe me - it's WAY MORE INTENSE than this video makes it seem! Very fast, aggressive ride! Loved it!

This coaster is far more intense than this video describes. It’s crazy and it’s built on the side of a mountain! Once when we were about halfway through with the first stretch, we saw a Black Bear standing on that gray boulder on the right, above everyone, waiting for the breeze from the coaster as it went by. Lol, I was like WOW!

This ride is brutal at night during a thunderstorm. I’m a part of a rollercoaster group called ACE (American coaster enthusiasts) and we get to stay after hours or before the park opens during events and get special extended ride times exclusive to our group. We got one on boulder dash once, it was maybe 11 at night with lightning and got really dark😅

Now that is a cool little ride, a roller coaster that feels more like an alpine coster. That's just really neat.

Boulder Dash is the absolute best wooden coaster I've ever rode on!

There is no other coaster like this one. It's a coaster lovers dream come true.

The best part of this roller coaster is the end because you feel like you have cheated death. Awesome ride!!

This coaster only has one chain to pull you up the hill and then release you into a non stop fun filled ride!

This thing looks absolutely INTENSE

If you are going to ride this ride, I recommend both the front and the back seat. They provide completely different rides and are both fantastic. Do it at night if you get the chance.

I recently rode Boulder dash september 2021 and it is one of the most intense wooden roller-coasters I have ever ridden. For only being 21 years old it shakes and rattles like an older ride.

I love the Boulder Dash. A highlight of my vacation to America in 2017 🙏❤️

Only us Connecticut people know what this is ;)

Would love to see this filmed during the splendor of autumn!

The lush greenery of the woods just adds a lot of character and makes it interesting. The landscape and the ride design complement each other very nicely. On my "Ride Before I Die" list.

Finally went to Lake Compounce yesterday as it's about 100 minutes from my house. Waited for the complete back on Boulder Dash. Holy shit is this ride intense. Definitely my favorite classic woody. Wicked Cyclone at SFNE is my favorite wooden coaster, but it's a hybrid so I can't really say it's "wooden." =P Boulder Dash is amazing and worth the visit alone.

This ride, hands down, is the best roller coaster I have ever been on in my life. Not too slow, not too fast, and bumpy enough to give you minor injuries.

Love this thing. I think a huge part of what makes it awesome is how it careens through the woods, as opposed to a big track structure just smack in the middle of a park.

By far my most favorite wooden roller coaster ride at Lake Compounce .

This coaster is as good as the video looks - truly a badass ride. One of the best - ever.

This ride is intense, fast, and painful. If you have any kind of back or neck problems don't ride it. The last few bumps will rattle your brain.

I live only 15 mins away from Lake Compounce, so I'm lucky I get to ride this consistently it never gets old to me. When Boulder Dash opened in 2000, my parents took me for my 10th birthday. I ended up riding it five times in a row I was hooked. Whoever designed this track knew what they were doing. The scenery of Mt. Southington, speed, amount of turns and humps is perfectly balanced. The video doesn't do it justice it's WAY more intense than it looks. It thrashes and tosses you around but man the rush is amazing. This is by far the best wooden coaster I've been on. It's worth visiting Lake Compounce for Boulder Dash alone.

I love this roller coaster. It's a fast, fast out and back ride built into the side of a mountain. The sounds and mechanical feel on the wood make it an updated version of old style coasters.

You know, when you think about it, this is the REAL Son of Beast. Both are notable for taking their paths through the woods, and geniologically, sons are typically smaller than fathers through childhood (as is the case with Boulder Dash being a lot smaller than The Beast). But mostly, it's because both are woodies that go through a forest for the duration of the ride. Son of Beast had NONE of The Beast's traits.

Boulderdash is one of my favorite coasters and I've ridden quite a few. The reason I rate this coaster so high is because it gives you a feeling like the damn thing is about to come off the tracks at any moment. It just feels completely out of control. I still feel like el toro is the better coaster but this one is unique

On this ride I screamed " IM TO SKINNY FOR THIS!" the whole ride while holding on for dear life.

I rode this more than 15yrs ago and I still talk about this coaster. This was hands down one of the best wooden coasters I've ever been on. I heard that they changed an element on it a few yrs ago but still looks as good as it was back then. Can't wait to go back cause it is definitely worth the trip.

Yesterday, I went to Lake Compounce. Totally recommend this ride if you want to go on a woody. The drops and hills are steeper than it looks and is faster than it looks.

Great coaster for folks with a fear of heights. The tree canopy makes you feel low.

That is really cool how it follows the land and has such a constant high speed. It could have gone another mile if they didn't stop it!

Has to be one of the favourite rides with the old style wooden style tracks / railings

Boulder Dash is definitely one of my FAVORITE rides I've ever been on! Super fast and pretty long and the scenery is gorgeous!

This ride started out looking like the Grizzly at Kings Dominion.. I sure do love a Rough Head-Banging Wooden Roller Coaster

My daughter and I rode this coaster over and over and over again when we visited this park several years ago. LOVED IT!

This is going to be my first rollercoaster and this video made me pumped for it!

A wonderful setting for a woody. Looks like a great coaster.

I love old wooden roller-coasters and this was the best one I've ever been on

Been on this coaster many times. Ride is a lot more intense and faster than it looks in videos. Best wooden coaster ever. And Lake Compounce is a beautiful park.

I love that going thru the trees. I want to go on it.

This video doesn’t do this ride justice It’s such a good ride so bumpy and so fast Loved it!!

One of the most beautiful setting for a wooden coaster i have ever seen

That was the best coaster ride I've not taken in my life. I need to ride this!!!

I've been on this many times. I grew up in CT. I live in FL now and have been on every roller coaster here and Boulder Dash still tops them all. There's no better feeling of intensity then this coaster.

That's one of the best videos I've ever seen of this coaster. I love terrain coasters!

Incredible coaster with ridiculous pacing! Thundering through the woods at that speed is just amazing 😍 my no.4 coaster 👌

That looks truly relentless. I’d love a go!

I’ll be there soon to vlog the park and ride BD again - cannot wait!!! 🎢👍😊

Hands down my favorite coaster. As many others have stated, the video doesn't do it justice...it's a pure adrenaline rush. My biggest worry the first time riding this gem was that what would happen if a tree branch fell on the tracks...I mean, how would anyone know it was there? And going through the forest like that, you didn't know what waited around every corner. If you can get there, Boulderdash is a must-ride for any coaster enthusiast.

Went recently, and this coaster was amazing!

Lake compounce is a great park and boulder dash makes it super great and its my FAVOURITE ride at lake compounce

That looks like one of the coolest roller coasters ever!

Honestly this is my favorite roller coaster. It's definitely top 5

What an amazing ride. This looks like a ride that really test the wear and tear of a track as well as the coaster train. I love your videos, CoasterForce!

I love this coaster. I trekked from Allentown, PA to Bristol CT opening year and it was during their halloween weekends. It was one of the colder nights so th epark was a bit empty the queue lines were so short they let us stay on (Since we rode the middle) for 6 straight trips. Boulder Dash is my favorite coaster with The Phoenix coming in at number 2

i got to go on this late at night once during a staff party. my oldest brother had worked there many years ago and took me. BD + Darkness is the single best ride I've ever been on.

That looks like an awesome roller coaster!!! Nice layout to it and the landscape is really pretty as well.

This is amazing. No words for this

This coaster is awesome. We go on it a bunch of test every year. One of my favs

Instant nostalgia from summer camp.. thank you

Looks a little rough, but I just love how it weaves through the forest like that! Beautifully done :D

I love how it wraps along with terrain

Nice scenery , nice coaster with lots of air time.

wow, this is an amazingly beautiful ride!

It's amazing how important the terrain is. This might be boring if built in a typical flat concrete amusement park. But as it is, I love the ride.

Great fun. I love the sound of wooden rollercoasters.

This is a great coaster. Very beautiful.

Love terrain roller coasters really liked the layout. Looks fun!

If you live in CT you feel me, your trying to eat in piece near the trolley tracks and all you hear every 2 minutes is brattttatatatatatattaatattaatatatatand SCREEEEEEEMMMMM when the ride passes 😂

With the person I was next to on this, it was one of the best moments in my life.

I rode this for the first time today and this video doesn't prepare you for what is the actual experience! This video is awesome but the ride in person is absolutely bananas! What a rush it is!

Went to there last weekend, first time going on this ride, it was very intense but also fun

Rode this coaster for the very first time yesterday, easily the roughest and fastest coaster I have been on to this day, but in a very good way. My favourite ride at Lake Compounce. The video doesn't do justice to how fast and rough this ride is, but still an awesome video all the same.

Great looking ride, fantastic

What a nifty wooden roller coaster this one is! I wouldn't mind having this one in my own back yard, if that were possible or permitted. This ride is definitely one-of-a-kind, due to how it makes use of the wooded terrain like that!

It's a great roller coaster. One of my favorites.

Used to live about 30 minutes from here. Rode this many times. One of the most scenic rides you'll ever go on. All of the trees add to the sensation of impressive speed! But do not be fooled, this classic wooden coaster is much more intense than this video shows. A girl I know actually got a concussion riding in the last car, no joke.

#1 wooden coaster I have ridden! (Above voyage!)

That was a rickety ride. I can't imagine the back seat experience with that roughness. Beautiful scenery though. I love rollercoasters moving through the woods.👍🏽❤️

That's one fast wooden coaster and i love the overgrown greenery , must have been a tough install !

Omg!! That ride looks amazing!! I would love to ride it

Fast, basic ride, lots of anti-gravity and absolutely beautiful scenery...👍👍👍

That was... just plain outstanding.

Through the forest. That’s awesome

Yeeeees terrain coasters are so cool and this looks epic, so fast

This was the best roller coaster I rode so far!

Best coaster ive ever been on

This ride was my FAVORITE RIDE 💜

Love it 💖 never before this video have I *needed* to go to CT. Fantastic landscape on this coaster.

I went on Boulder dash and omg the first time it was mad bumpy and then the second time it was the best ride ever. It's really fast and I love it ill always get on that if I go to lake compounce again!!

This roller coaster looks awesome

I love how it is nestled in the trees. Reminds me of the TN Tornado, at Dollywood.

Every time I go on this ride it kills my back, but it is a good coaster for how fast it goes. Especially for a wooden coaster. They actually changed it years back because of complaints about one of the ramps at the end. But my son and I will be on it Thursday when we go there for our first trip of the season

That is a REALLY cool ride!

F it! I went today and rode it 8times back to back! It's much rougher than I remember. The front seat is the smoothest. Such a fun ride!!

Went on it many times since live only 15min away. I was on it the first week it opened; it was a completely smooth ride back then, You still felt like you were going to fly out of your seat near the end though. The ride has gotten rough but still one of my favorite wooden coasters.

Now THAT is how you build a terrain coaster. Amazing pace!

I haven’t been on Boulder Dash in years. Last time I went on it, I was about 7 or 8 years old. Man, what a rush that was! I thought that it was gonna break since it’s a wooden roller coaster. I screamed out of my mind because of how scared I was when it became super intense. I would have gone on it in summer 2019, but I didn’t get the chance to go on it. If I go to Lake Compounce again this year, I’m definitely going on Boulder Dash with my friends. It’ll be my first time going back on it in god knows how many years. Voted the world’s best wooden 🎢! That thing is almost as fast as an EF-0 tornado!
