Boulder Dash Mountain Coaster Equipped with Titan Track

Tomorrow, April 29, the U.S. amusement park Lake Compounce (Connecticut), operated by Palace Entertainment, will start into this year’s season. With the beginning of the season, the ride that has been voted the world’s best wooden roller coaster five times and is so popular with visitors – the “Boulder Dash Mountain Coaster” – will feature a new “Titan Track” section from Great Coasters International Inc. (GCI). 580 feet (more than 170 meters) of Titan Track have been added for a smoother and faster ride experience.

“Since Boulder Dash was completed at Lake Compounce and opened to riders in 2000, it has been a massive draw for park-goers of all ages,” said Lake Compounce Director of Operations Megan Major. “Adding Titan Track to the coaster will not only enhance the ride experience but the steel tracking will also allow for easier maintenance on the coaster, allowing our team to ensure the ride can stay open longer to guests.”

In addition to the overhaul of the popular coaster, the “Potato Patch” food stand has been updated for the season with a new ordering process designed to ensure faster service. Next to it, there is a new seating area called “Potato Patio”, which features a potato photo opportunity. (eap)
