About Thunderbolt

A smaller and tamer wooden coaster compared to Cyclone, this wood coaster was built in 1941 and is in the layout of a figure-eight. Overall not too intense and has some very good airtime. -- Last edited by Dan Forget

A great little coaster. Has great moments to it so don't pass it up just because it looks smaller...looks can be deceiving ya know! Definitly ride this one if you can. - Adrienne McDonald

This is a fun little wooden coaster and is a good alternative to the Cyclone for the younger or less thrill-seeking members of your group. Don't underestimate the Thunderbolt, though. It has few very good moments of air time and is a fun ride. - Lindsay Murray
