Rollin' Thunder is a clone of Thunderbolt at Luna Park in New York. The only difference is that this coaster is blue, while Thunderbolt is orange.
Ride experience
The car leaves the station, makes a left turn and climbs a vertical chain lift hill. Riders plunge downwards and enter a vertical loop. This is followed by a zero-g roll and an over-banked curve. The car flips through a dive loop and moves through some airtime hills. After the airtime hills, riders head into a corkscrew, followed by an another airtime hill. The car then hits the final brake run and heads back into the station.
Trains
Single cars. Riders are arranged 3 across in 3 rows, for a total of 9 riders per car.
