Has anyone ridden Boulder Dash this year that rode it last year? Here's hoping that they didn't 'hurt' it over the off-season. It was still hauling in the cooler weather back in October.....just amazing!

Robb, awesome updates again. Thank you!

Cheers,
Jason

It is always about the Control Panel Operator (Tom) isn't it! Never about the, clearly more important floor operator (Ben / me) !

Boulder Dash was one of the great surprises for me. I didn't really know much about it, but I thought it was better than El Toro. That last set of bunny hills were just insane. The only bad part was that I rode it so many times in a row and screamed so much, I had a big headache when it was all over. It was all worth it, though.

From what I've read on Lakecompounce.org, they haven't added any trims or anything and it's running just as good if not better than last year. The only work I read about them doing was fixing the jerk in the turnaround that showed up later in the season last year. I should be down there within a few weeks, so I'll know for sure then.

^ If they do take action I really hope they bank it rather than trim it. That ride was absolutely insane last year and it would be such a shame for them to basically kill the second half of the ride rather than sort the problem out in a way that benefits the ride.
