Update- August 10, 2006: I originally rated this coaster an 8, but have reduced it to a 5. I really hate to say this, but I think Ive outgrown this coaster. It was my second "real" roller coaster ever (my first being Comet at Hershey), so I suppose the only reason I enjoyed it so much was because I didnt know how much better coasters could be! I used to think this ride was fun, exhilirating, and full of tummy-tickling drops. Recently, though, after riding it again for the first time in two years, I discovered what an awful ride it really is. It is pretty rough, but honestly, that didnt even bother me. What DID bother me was the loud screeching noise made by the trains, the nonexistent airtime, the fact that they almost NEVER race (although even when it does race its not even that exciting), and just a general lack of.. well, fun! I dont think its bad enough to tear down- actually, Id prefer if they didnt, because Rolling Thunder is a pretty unintimidating "stepping stone" for budding enthusiasts (as it was for myself at age 10). Lets just say I wouldnt bee TOO upset to see it go, though. If you dont mind the roughness, go ahead and ride it just to add to your count- the lines are never more than 20 minutes. If they are, though, skip it!
