Woodland Run, previously known as Thunder Run, is a Dinn Corporation wooden roller coaster located at Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. It has been operating since 1990.

History

Thunder Run was originally planned to be built at LeSourdsville Lake Amusement Park, however these plans never came into fruition.^{[citation needed]}

The ride opened at Kentucky Kingdom in August 1990 as Thunder Run. It closed with the park in 2009.

After standing but not operating for four years, Thunder Run ran with a small group of people in 2014. It reopened with the rest of the park on May 24, 2014. For the 2017 season, Thunder Run received a new train from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company and various modifications would be made to the track.

During the 2018-2019 off-season, Thunder Run was retracked.

In 2025 Thunder Run was renamed Woodland Run to fit the Discovery Meadow area.
