The Thunderbolt at Funtown U.S.A., is a nice himalaya. Funtowns Thunderbolt, is located in the back of the park, nestled next to trees. Unlike most himalayas I have been on, this Thunderbolt had many trees that came close to the ride. The lights at night, are beautiful, as they light up the area. Like all Thunderbolts, this one has sleek, shiny blue and red cars, with a white Thunderbolt on the side. The front and back of the cars are white, while the bottom is either shiny red or blue. On the back of the car, it says "Funtowns Thunderbolt". Also, this is always a walk-on because of the high capacity. Funtown also loads this ride quickly. Like most Chance himalayas, the cars car be cramped, if two adults ride. Also, the headrests, are too small, and have holes that are too large, so, you cant rest your head on them comfortably. During the ride, youre slammed back into the head-rest, repeatedly, and you cant hold it there, because it hurts. Another thing is, that Funtown has selected, a unique choice of music. They have played pop rock music, suitable for the entire family. Last time I rode it, they played Sk8er Boi, by Avril Levine. Funtowns Thunderbolt, gradually gained speed, traveling forwards, and then, you reach full speed. This Thunderbolts top speed, isnt as fast as some Thunderbolts and sadly there was a little headbanging when I rode it (rehabed in 2006 getting rid of headbanging). Next, you slow down, and repeat the ride in reverse. Again, you travel slowly, and then gain speed, until your at top speed. Then, you slow down, ending the ride. Overall, Funtowns Thunderbolt, is a nice ride. I highly recommend this ride to anyone who enjoys himalayas.
