 Review of Thunderhead @ Dollywood
2 Rating Posted by: WAR2174 on 4/10/2005 4:11:00 PM
Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of wooden roller coasters. I am all about classic rides and fun but woodies just dont thrill me as much as, say, going upside down or doing a cool element like a pretzel loop or Immelman. I do like how woodies throw you around though. For that reason Texas Giant was my favorite. I stress "was". No question this is #1 now. I love themed rides. They get more respect from me. This one is spectacular. It is beautiful to see the light wood combined with the Smoky mountains and the timber of Dollywood. Then the ride itself; so smooth, so fast, and the airtime, is just awesome. I have had a flight on an F-16 so I know a little about Gs. And this baby has them! The banking is like a fighter jet, tight and smooth. Oh, and the station house. I wish all coasters had the track fly-through. Anyway, alot has been said about her so there is not much to add. I know I could catch heat, but to me she just isnt a ten. To me steel is the way to go, however a few more rides could change my mind.

this is a good review with elaboration. but whats up with the ending? if the ride is "9", well no argument there - its YOUR rating. however, not a ten because its wood? thats like saying, "halle berry is hot, but not a ten cause shes black." man, coaster racism!
