Thunderhawk was my first roller coaster, and it still is a wonderful till this day. Steel Force towers over it, but I would take a fun, speedy trip on this over that hunk of steel sleep any day! Many people complain of Thunderhawks roughness, but I think it adds to the ride immensely. The slamming laterals and violent air are what make Thunderhawk a great small woodie in my mind. The ride does also not appear to have been struck by the break curse after so many years, and it still runs like a woodie should. The ride, however, is quite short. If it were longer, it would certainly be higher in my book.
