Thunderhead
A new standard in wooden coasters has been set
Thunderhead is GCI's latest creation, and it puts even their other coasters to shame
After the 100 foot tall lift, trains make a crazy right spiraling drop
And crazy is an understatement when describing this coaster
One of the many insanely banked turns made possible by the spiffy millenium flyer trains
This ride has an amazing combination of high G's and stomach churning airtime
This turn is made right over the queue, and drooling ensues
The banked curve here leads right into the station
But not into the brakes, rather a one-of-a-kind "fly-through", at 40mph
After careening through the station, the ride is still only half over
I wish I could get across just how amazing this ride is. I didn't think a wooden coaster was capable of this
Check out my Coaster Rankings, we have a new Number 1 on our hands
Blazing Fury
This wierd combination dark ride, coaster, water ride is at the very least, unique.
Tennessee Tornado
Now lets give Arrow Dynamics a chance here
They've got the perfect terrain for a coaster, and had a few years off
I think they finally got it right on this one
This surprising terrain coaster is fast and smooth, with tons of airtime
With 3 inversions and 2700 feet of track, you might not expect too much
But what this coaster does, it does very well
