Lightning Racer is one of my favorite rides!!! The hills are steep and fast, but not too fast and steep. The speed is fast, but not too fast. And of course, the dueling part is AWESOME!!!!!! It is a lot of fun when you go on th ride with someone, and each sit on different trains! Lightning Racer Rules!

This ride is so much fun it is definately the best wooden in the park and maybe ever built. It is so comfortable.

Thunder won for us. It was a great ride where you never know which track your train is going to be traveling. The train fly-bys are super cool!!!

I liked this side of the ride better... It seemed to have shorter waits too.

I love this ride and one of the best things is that it never seems to have a line because of the two coasters running at the same time.
