The Thunder Bolt is Playlands Chance himalaya. Located towards the back of the park, the Thunder Bolt appears just like the standard Thunderbolt that you could find at various carnivals and parks across the country. It has the attractive light package and it looked to be in decent condition. Due to Thunder Bolts high capacity, it generally is a walk-on. I found that Thunder Bolt loaded relatively quickly compared to other himalayas. Restrained by just a lap bar, the Thunder Bolts has one major glaring weakness, its wretched speed. The ride was much slower compared to other himalayas and there was almost no swinging due to the very slow speed. Despite how it went backwards, the Thunder Bolt was just way too slow to be much fun at all. I liked the Mini Himalaya (their kiddie himalaya) more than this one. The cycle wasnt anything special. Overall, the Thunder Bolt was a weak himalaya thats worth a ride by spinning-ride fans as long as it doesnt have a line.
