Minor correction to the above info -

Thunder Express had three trains. One old 30 passenger, and two new 28 passengers (The 28 passenger trains had the locomotive fronts)

The old 30 passenger train came from Six Flags Over Mid-America. Dollywood bought the other two brand new from Arrow.

On days when the old train and one of the new trains were running, the very front row was only able to board every other dispatch due to the locomotive fronts on the new trains.
