My eleven year old and I loved this roller coaster the best. There was about a five min wait. Two coasters to choose from, hence no line . We rode four times in a row!! The two roller coasters race...
My favorite wooden coasters ! The visuals of the other train are fantastic.
Come to the back of the park first and then work your way forward. There's no line or crowd back here when the park opens.
Excellent wooden coaster . My 9yo loves to see who "wins: the race.
Best coaster in the park . You have to ride both sides!
Longest coaster in the park , smooth wooden coaster . Cute theme.
Walked right on to front row when every other coaster had an hour+ wait.
Lightning always comes before the Thunder...cachoooga!!
Best wait time under 20 mins
Thunder is winning every single race today.
Thunder , green side, and we won!!
Try the veal , it's delicious!
Hands down best coaster in the park
See who won the last race before you get on ride it helps!
Don't listen to the stupid people, win rate is about 50/50.
On days that there is a short line they only have one car going... Not as fun when ou can't race :(
Front row baby!
Remember to keep your head down for better aerodynamics.
This ride is awesome! No line .
Line moves fast
Best wooden coaster in the park !
Gas pumps are a bit slow at the Turkey Hill
Root for your "team"!
Don't ride this. It used to be fun, but now it's older and too bumpy. Got the worst headache!
Lightning. Ka-chow.
THUNDERRR!!!!
Wendy's here is good!
This was a crazy ride!! Would go on again but word for advice for those who wear glasses: take them off before you go on! Mine almost came off. The lap-bar was super tight! - Ashley Barrow
Loved this ride, my kids didnt enjoy the height too much. Very enjoyable tho! Sharp turns w/ great view... Would go again! Worth the wait! - Angel Bias
Good times! - Patrick McCutcheon
This coaster will crush your thighs. Use the free lockers. Plus, it hurts. It’s not a lot of fun. - George Taylor
A classic wooden coaster. It's aged really well compared to many other wooden coasters. - Matt Drago
Probably my second favorite in the park and the absolute best at night! - Hunter Knepshield
