I like going backwards better. Forwards is even more boring.

Riding going forward just gives you Gs and nothing else. The back wasn't running when i went so hopefully it'll be running this summer when I go. When the back ain't running, it's just a regular out and back coaster wit a big first drop.

I like Thunder Road pretty well. If you're in the front seat the ride is exceptionally smooth for a wooden coaster! Thunder Road has some great airtime as well.

I don't get why no one loves this coaster. I think its great! Backwards gives you more of a rush though. Grit Your Teeth, Bare The Load, Enjoy Your Ride, On Thunder Road!

Thunder Road, by all accounts, is not that great of a coaster. However, the history of the ride is great. It predates Magic Mountain's staple Colossus by a few years and is still running MUCH smoother than Colossus. In fact, considering that the ride is celebrating its 35th birthday next season, it's in GREAT condition. And it does allow for some great airtime. A classic out-and-back.
