Bristol/Southington, CT - Lake Compounce Theme Park in Bristol, CT is thrilled to announce today that Amusement Today, has named its famed wooden roller coaster Boulder Dash the 'Best Wooden Roller Coaster in the World' for 2013.

Amusement Today relies on a panel of voters from all over the world consisting of experienced park enthusiasts. The U.S. ballots are divided into four geographical regions, with approximately the same number of voters in each region. In addition to the American voters, Amusement Today invites a number of international voters to participate. Voters are asked to submit a list of their top ten coasters — wood and steel — in order from one to ten, taking into consideration the overall experience including capacity, operations, reliability and re-ride ability.

"A night ride on this amazing coaster is particularly fantastic. It's my favorite time to ride Boulder Dash!"

"The folks at Lake Compounce deserve to celebrate," says Gary Slade, publisher and editor-in-chief of Amusement Today. "Boulder Dash took the Golden Ticket in 2004 and continued to be a top five contender in the years following. The park is dedicated to maintaining it well and the coaster's unique one-of-a-kind setting constantly brings in new fans. A night ride on this amazing coaster is particularly fantastic. It's my favorite time to ride Boulder Dash!"

"We were so excited when we got the news of this award", says General Manager Jerry Brick. "We have always known how special Boulder Dash is, as have our guests, and now to be recognized as a world best is just awesome."
