After months of waiting, I finally got to ride Thunder N Lightning. This was my first Screamin Swing ride, so I was not quiet sure what ot expect. As I entered the line, I was impressed with the theming. The anamatronic weather man was a very nice touch. The ride itself felt like a pirate ship ride on steroids. Once you get going at full force the airtime is great. However, Lake Compounce seems to be running the cycles for this ride a bit short. It felt like I only got 2 or 3 swings at full power before the ride started to slow down. But other than the ride time, this ride should be a real crowd pleaser, plus its ride capacity is much greater than some of the parks other rides, so hopefully the lines wont get too long throughout the summer.
