 Review of Thunderbolt @ Playland Amusement Park

This is your standard Chance Thunderbolt you find at practically every Carnival in the world. They run it at a good speed but the music is a bit too laud and the ride looked a bit run down. Ride cycle was poor and very uncomfortable. I really dont know why they are opting to keep this while Dumping rides like power surge and Sky flyer.

Like you said, I bet Power Surge is being removed because of the Astroland accident. Ryes Power Surge didnt even run all of the elements like both Palace Playland and Knoebels did. Did Power Surge break or there wasnt enough clearance with the nearby building?

As for the Thunderbolt, it didnt appear run-down last year, but Ill see what it is like this year compared to last year.

I did find power surge very weak. Especially compared to the one at Palace playland. personally i would have preferred they remove Thunderbolt and get a better park model.

I always have preferred the non swinging himalayas over these swinging ones with the exception of Canobies now defunct Matterhorn.
