I rode Boulder Dash when it first opened and loved it but it has been quite awhile. I'll have to get back and try out both that and Wildcat to experience their updates!
I'm not saying anything everyone doesn't already know, but man would I love to see Hurler at Carowinds get *some* kind of overhaul. Whether that be some track replacement or just bulldozed and replaced with a cool little family GCI like InvadR.
While it's certainly not as rough as some other old woodies out there, it's still not great and has only gotten worse over the years.
I have been to Compounce every few years as it was one of the first out of the Pittsburgh region parks that I went to check out the roller coaster in the early 70s. Back in the wildcat was flawless! It had the tunnel which should be restored and the old open front trains. I think they were either three or four bench cars sensational. Of course I went back when Boulderdash opened and I’ve gone every few years since it was an absolutely astounding ride when it opened and when it got rough, it hurt me to my heart. Now the news you saying it’s back & strongfor the most part , I’m quite happy for them and coasterlovers everywhere! I will be sure to get back up there soon. Keep up the good work.

I would highly recommend it!

Because it’s not a vintage coaster, maybe Titan Track would make sense.
