When I first heard about Boulder Dash back in the winter of 1999 and being a huge fan of terrain coasters I knew one day I had to get to Lake Compounce and take it for a ride.  Well it took me a decade but I was finally here.  Actually this was a pretty awesome day because not only was I about to ride Boulder Dash but I finally got to take the Coney Island Cyclone for a ride a few hours before.



OK, you know the price of gas is way too expensive when the big prize for playing Skee Ball is a $50 gas gift card. 



As soon as we got into the gates Lake Compounce had a nice, friendly feeling with plenty of shade and great atmosphere.



The main part of Lake Compounce is laid out in an oval deep down in a valley.  When you turn to head around the back side of the loop you're greeted with this view of Boulder Dash up on the mountainside.  If I didn't say that my heart rate quickened at this point I would be lying.
