There is nothing wrong with Leap the dips. It is a classic and a pleasure to ride.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

Wow, I just looked at Bakken Rutschebanen...that has to be the most insane classic i've ever seen!

It must have the world's first 2nd roller coaster cable-lift as well!

Regardless, Leap the Dips is one of a kind and needs to be preserved. It is especially fun when the car jumps off the track.

Can you imagine that Bakken wants to modernize this coaster by changing the trains and removing the brakeman?

They are on the side of the lift. Pretty much just wooden boards which pivot.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

It works just fine. The simpleness of it leaves less ways it could go wrong. Why are you so determined to show that the ride is terrible?

Then why are you pointing out all of the things that make it unique as flaws?
