Nice subtle theme on this ride, with a very nice classic looking station. They often run four trains on on this one which makes the wait one of the shortest in the park. The dueling aspect added a lot to this otherwise simple layout and was also well timed; although I did notice Thunder winning by a few feet almost every time. This is a nice smooth wood coaster, probably the smoothest I can remember. This is why I can't give it a perfect score though, it's too smooth. Not a lot of action going on here, personally I'd rather be on the Wild Cat up the hill. If I didn't feel like being thrown around I'd opt for a steel coaster, but if I want a wood coaster there's a reason and Lightening Racer does not deliver. It's still very rerideable due to the short wait and overall still very fun ride... just don't expect a party
