Elements

Trains

Thundercoaster originally ran with trains from Vekoma. Each train had four cars seating six riders each in two rows of two. However, for the 2015 season, these trains were replaced by trains from Gravitykraft Corporation. The coaster now uses two trains, each of which has 12 cars seating two riders; this allows for a total of 24 riders per train.[1]
