Thunder Road was a Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters wooden roller coaster located at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina. The ride was a twin roller coaster, featuring two individual tracks that ran parallel each other. The design of the ride was based upon Rebel Yell, another wooden racing coaster at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia, USA.
The coaster was built across the Carolinas state line. The coaster begins in South Carolina and then crosses into North Carolina.
Thunder Road closed on July 26, 2015 and was replaced by the Carolina Harbor waterpark expansion
