Thunderbolt is a wonderful wood twister from 1941. Its 75 first drop is taken at a rather shallow 45 degrees. This keep Thunderbolts top speed to a fairly tame 45 miles per hour. However, what TBolt lacks in speed she makes up for with a very "zippy" layout. There is also a surprising amount of air time on this coaster, especially towards the end. If you have a child in your family who is ready to graduate from kiddie coasters, then Thunderbolt is the perfect choice for a kids first adult coaster. But dont let that description fool you, this ride can be surprisingly exciting, and like all good woodies, every ride is different.
