I gave it a 7 because the left side: Coaster 2 has great Ejector air, and the better turnaround, but Coaster 1 is very boring, having only a tiny bit of airtime if u ride the front car, and has a very painful underbanked turnaround. I love both sides though, its a great ride as long as you lean forward a bit.

This has got to be the scariest ride in the park, only becasue it shakes so much that it makes you think that the cart is going to fly off the track. But its a VERY bumppy ride but thats what makes it fun. This ride is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

This isnt really a bad ride. Im not saying its good, but its not bad. Its just really slow and not too thrilling. I dont think SFGAdv. is neglecting it, I just think its time has come. I think its taking up the land where some good Intamin wood should go!

I wish Six Flags would wake up and decide to properly maintain this coaster. It has lots of potential to be good. It is not only rough, but noisy too. I like wooden coasters a little rough because it adds to the ride, but I dont like it when it is vibrating rough. I have never seen both sides of the track run at the same time and I probably never will. I wouldnt be surprised if SF replaced it with something else. I would prefer it if they would just give it the TLC it needs.

GOOD GOD! Are the ride designers on drugs? this is the worst in the park... including viper. The worst 2 combinations... boring and rough. I would rather have nothing here than this piled of lumber.

This is a great wooden ride. They shouldnt tair this down. Wooden rollercoasters are awesome and they have such a different feel to a coaster. This ride is awesome and it felt like it was going to break but thats the fun part. Coasters are supposed to be scary arent they? And no park should go without a wooden coaster.

This ride is very unpleasent. It is extremely bumping and rocky. I mean i know wooden coasters are supposed to be bumpy and i like that, but this thing almost knocked me out. The drops were fun but sooooo bumpy and it made the whole ride very unpleasent. I agree with most in saying that this ride should be maintained better,it needs to be smoother. This ride was crazy, if you dont like rough rides, do not ride this. It honestly hurts.

This coaster would earn such higher points if only SFGA would put some money into maintaining it - and possibly making some design improvements. I went to the park with a friend, who kept saying, "Youll love Rolling Thunder" - he knew I was a woodie fan. Having ridden pristine examples of woodies, I was hugely disappointed. This could be an awesome coaster - like I said, it just needs some help.

Awesome ride! It would be a 10 if they just gave it a fresh coat of paint.
