Why was the road to Colossal Cave Mountain Park changed?
The road was changed because of the increased development in this area and the consequent greatly increased traffic. The aptly nicknamed “Roller Coaster Road” was very dangerous, particularly at night, and bringing it up to safe standards would have cost considerably more than putting in the new road did. And the road change has fortuitously given us the ability to protect Colossal Cave Mountain Park in a way we couldn t in the past. The single Park entrance eliminates after-hours traffic past four Park gates, sharply reducing accidents and vandalism.
