I found Thunderhawk to be a pretty good little woodie. My first Schmeck (and the oldest one still in operation), Thunderhawk was a great kick-back to the roaring twenties. Now over 80 years old, its hard to believe that it is so good (I figured 30s, if not 40s and was suprised to see how old it is). The hills arent huge, but fun nonetheless. The airtime is ok, not great but not lacking either, and the color of the wood against the setting sun was cool too. I liked the begining part out of the station, though it would have been better if enclosed like so many older woodies had. The trains are a sore point of the ride though, I would prefer to see original ones on there, but who knows what happened there? Still yet another fun, exciting Dorney coaster
