 Review of Thunder N Lightning @ Lake Compounce

Thinkdifs caracterization of this ride as a pirate ship on steriods is right on target. A slightly longer ridetime would improve the ride. Its interesting up to a point, but not much happens compared to some other large swinging rides like the Huss Frisbees which spin around as well as swing. The ride is well placed in the park, but the theming does not really complement the mountain-boulder-backwoods theming that works so well on rides like Boulderdash, Compounce Mountain Skyride, Thunder Rapids, and Saw Mill Plunge.

Around how long is the ride duration. if its at 2 minutes now even if they can load it in 1 minute the ride can only get 720 pph. Uping the ride time woudl cut down on the capacity causign an even longer wait.

Right now that might be true for capacity. But in the summer when the park is buisy I think they will need the Capacity. the Hieght limit is what 48 or 50 in? Thats still more adult but still low enough that many guests can ride. Its a double edge sword.

They cant just add to the cycle, the reason the cycles for Screamin Swings are so short (too short IMO) is because of the tanks. Eventually, the compressed air runs out... of course, S&S could build larger tanks, but again, they just suck.

Who S&S? Yes they coudl build larger tanks but you also need a larger compresser to fill those tanks in a resanable time frame. The ride looks great looks wise. and the Compreser is hidden ina log cabon which adds to the much needed Flume themeing.

^ thanks for trying to disagree with me, yet prove my point how difficult it would be to add time to the cycle

I wasnt trying. But was it S&S that you feel suck?
