This ride beat me up pretty good. However, it was in the rain (not sure if that matters) and in a train that only had two other people on it. So I know I may not be able to give this ride a fair shake. It basically reminded me of a rough ride on the Hurler, just in a different setting. On the plus I really liked the theming. From the Moon Shine Shack to the clothes hanging on the clothes line, Thunder Run had some nice little theming touches. I also like the layout, similar to Hurler at PKD, but with more trees and some buildings and a path nestled inside the coaster. There was some airtime moments as reported, but the curves and really 80% of the ride was roughness and blinding rain. I expected the ride to be better than it was after reading reviews (or at least smoother) and while Im sure my empty train had something to do with it I have to rate my ride and experience. In that case, a 5 is very generous for pretty rough ride on a Hurler clone. Final Rating - 5.0 (Average)
