I had heard that Rollo Coaster was a "Baby Boulder Dash" but I really wasn't expecting it to be as much like that ride. As much as the two coasters feel almost like clones I have to wonder is Lake Compounce when asking for a design for their park said "We want a coaster like Rollo Coaster but bigger".

Before we hit the turnaround of this terrain out and back coaster I was smitten and the ride just kept getting better and better.

When we finally slid onto Rollo Coaster's hand operated skid brakes both Bond and I could only mutter one word and that was "wow"!

If I had the opportunity to build a wooden coaster on some property for me and my friends I have to say that Rollo Coaster comes the closest out of every coaster I have ridden to what I would build for myself.

With a classic park with a classic coaster and classic rides you have to have a classic carousel at the center of it all as the heart of the park.

This three ring carousel was added to Idlewild in 1931.
