Coaster reviews

Duration Disappointing! Dead spots

Okay so this ride used to be very rough, but this ride is smoother than it used to be. However it lacks airtime and intensity. This ride still rattles you and throws you around in some areas but before I would have said this ride is a bad coaster but now I think it’s mediocre. I just wish the airtime could be better then I would like this ride a little bit better. However the ride has been running inconsistently because of how buffalo bills is understaffed and I was the only person on the ride when I rode it so that could play an impact on why I am thinking higher of this coaster now.

Location Headbanging Discomfort Tear it down!

It costs too much and it is a terrible ride.

Launch Smoothness

I don't remember it too much but they better bring it back.

Headbanging Discomfort

If I could give this ride a zero I would.

Launch Smoothness Rattle Theming Harness

I only rode it as California Screamin. I first rode it in 2006, and was the last public dispatch on this coaster as California Screamin. This ride is great for young kids who are starting to get into roller coasters. When I first rode it, it was very smooth. When I rode it in my teenage years it rattled a little bit, when I rode it last it was pretty smooth. It's definitely not the most intense ride because it's Disney but it is fun. I think this ride would be more intense if they used a lapbar though but that probably won't happen. The reason I put theming as a con is because I like the original California Screamin better.

Intensity Smoothness

This is actually pretty intense for a wing coaster. Better than gatekeeper for sure.

Inversions Intensity

This ride blew me away for a stand-up coaster. Sure it's not the best roller coaster, but it's definitely the best stand-up. It may be a little uncomfortable but I really like this coaster for what it is.

Disappointing! Discomfort Tear it down!

I know many of you are gonna hate on me. But good god! 2016 was when I rode this so I am definitely biased. I know they have refurbished it but this is one of the worst three coasters I have ridden. It was so rough that it felt like my bones and muscles were being smushed together when I rode this for the first time. I know it was stupid but I was thinking that RMC needs to renovate this coaster when I rode it last in 2016 but that was before I was an actual enthusiast and knew how popular Boulder Dash was. So now as an enthusiast if I ever go back to Lake Compounce I will give this ride another try. But as far as I'm concerned as of now, please just scrap Boulder Dash or RMC it.

Airtimes Intensity Smoothness Rattle

This ride has the best airtime I have ever experienced. It is currently ranked as my 2nd favorite just below Steel Vengeance. Smooth but not as smooth as everyone says.

Airtimes Fun Discomfort

I have grown to love this roller coaster. Sure it is rough but it isn't too bad, it's still tolerable. This is definitely at least a top 25, but since my coaster count is still somewhat low it is a top 15 as of now.

Smoothness Rattle

This coaster is pretty fun, and it is a good arrow looper. However it isn't anything special. Also when I rode it for the first time, it was smooth but there was a minor rattle.

Airtimes Pace Smoothness

This is my favorite coaster at the moment, and it has some great airtime moments, however not all the airtime was as good as El Toro's airtime. But the airtime was still very amazing. I did not get bruises because of it though so this ride is also very comfortable, and the restraints are comfortable. But part of me feels like that's some what a bad thing because I like a smooth coaster but I also like to get very aggressive jerky airtime, and the airtime didn't feel that jerky. But it's still my favorite and I could see why some people think it is overrated though. However my opinion might change when I ride I-305 and Fury 325 this summer. But this is definitely a great creation by Rocky Mountain Construction.
