Although this ride is much like the ones at Paramount’s kings island and the one at Paramount’s kings dominion, I though it was much better. The layout is still the same but the one factor that set this ride apart from the others is the fact that this coaster was smooth. I don’t know what Carowinds is doing but they sure are doing a great job keeping their coasters in good shape.

It was ok. I diddn't think it was rough, just boring. Not very much air time.

Ha, I love the backwards side, it feels like the first drop never ends, what a great feeling.

I actually got, yes i said it, AIRTIME on backwards thunder road, in the 'front' seat on the second and third hills! Way to go... the potholes have just about been fixed, so thanks carowinds.

The thing about this unique stateline-straddling coaster is how different of a ride experience you get. If you're looking for a great ride, go forward. If you're looking for a very high thrill value, do it backwards. I've always said that Carowinds has the best ride maintenance crew in the country, and this coaster is the best example. Smooth as can be for a coaster over 34 years old. Great out-and-back.
