This is the better side and the one usually broke down.

Worst wooden coaster ever. (this coming from a giant fan of wooden coasters). I can't believe how horrible this coaster is.

Rolling Thunder was a pretty good racing wooden coaster, but on my last trip it was in pretty rough shape. Perhaps now that Hercules is gone it is even worse, and I can't say "well, at least we're not riding Hercules". 2/5

The ride that seperates the men from the boys. Fans of pure pleasure rides will enjoy the ups and downs of the ride. This side's specialty is the ejector air on the first hill, the view of the safari and the floater air on the speed turn.

The ride is best in the rain. The skid breaks do not allow greasing and the true enthusiast will see past the lack of wood and steel preservation. The mirrored hills are something worth seeing when racing.

I liked this side better than the other one. It won the race, and the turn wasn't as painful.

This ride is alright, eltoro should fill in the void of not having a good wooden coaster.

This is my least favourite ride. It used to be good, so I hear. Now the track is in terrible condition. They really need to lay down new metal on this. How many years has it been since that was done? I went on it last week and as we started up the lift hill it began to drizzle. A little. The ride, I'm not exagerating, never stoppped screeching. The guy in the seat in front of me was knocked over completely. It is no longer a ride so much as an ass kicking with seatbelts. The design is ok but the wood has changed so much since the last time it was re-tracked that it doesn't even fit anymore. I think your chances of dying are greater on this than El Toro.

This doesn't hurt just go to the front, hands up and you don't feel a thing but airtime and smoothness.
