... Or we could just burn down Wildcat as a sign of protest.

I love Boulder Dash, the best woodie in the world, and by far the best coaster to have a (night) ERT on. (See, Robb Alvey does do good sometimes)

Im not surprised, when I rode at 11:30 PM in 2008 it was running absolutely insane and our ERT was delayed by 30 minutes because of peice of track in the turnaround flat out broke...the speed and force it takes those 2 flat turns is INSANE. I don't think any work will be that major.

And Ive been on every GG, GCI, and all but a couple CCIs in the country, and Boulderdash is BY FAR the best coaster I have ever been on (even out of 370 including steel). I need to go back, like now.

Im goin again soon. And ima get me some more rides on it before the seasons out/ the possibility of it being ruined. http://www.ridezone.com/rides/coasters/ ... 052242.jpg
This is why i love this ride.
And as for the turnaround, i noticed how small it was from the chairlift one day and couldnt beleive it was possible how fast i saw the train go through such a flat turn.

I was originally planning to head to Virginia for the weekend and head to BGW and KD, but it fell through.

why does no one make a recreation of boulder dash that they can post and every boulder dash fan can add to it and make it better and better till its so good that its scary..
a team building type thing.... every body chips in...
or make a contest (who can build a better boulder dash) [devilish]

o and i agree on burning that coaster... we got to burn something.. right.?

I worked on a Boulder Dash recreation for years but I lost all my files for it besides my 3ds station. I'm not entirely sure it would fit in the editor, though. My last draft had the straight sections all counted out and correct length and it was really tight.

If anyone wants to try it they can have my station, unless they wanna do their own. It's about half complete though, so it would need some knowledge of OC to finish.

Actually one person would do it best. When you have a bunch of people you will run into a conflict of building styles, scenery, and just confusion in general. It will end up like a bit of a jumbled mess.
