Thunder Road (collectable) - Carowinds, Cedar Fair by Joey Designs
** Quick message – If you’re interested in my upcoming Private Collection of Coaster Relics or my Private Collection of New 2017 Coaster recreations be sure to Follow Me and Friend Me…Cheers!

About my first Woodie - Traditional out & back with some stomach dropping hills. Designed to mirror heights and speed of the original. Tested in my parks; and guests seem to love the coaster, maybe it’s the nostalgia?

*The Coaster had two tracks side by side – No need here, unless PC makes it easier for racing


About Thunder Road

Thunder Road was a wooden roller coaster located at Carowinds amusement park that sat on the border between Fort Mill, South Carolina, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Opened in 1976 and built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, the racing roller coaster cost $1.6 million to construct and featured two identical tracks that paralleled each other. The design of the ride was based on Rebel Yell, a wooden racing coaster at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia


The Ride Experience

As the trains left the station, they embarked on a gentle downward turn in opposite directions that went under the brake run. Both tracks met side-by-side to ascend the chain lift hill 93 feet (28 m). Riders passed by five signs between the two tracks that together read, "Grit your teeth" "Bear the load" " Enjoy your ride" " On Thunder Road" "Burma-Shave". The drop of 88 feet (27 m) was followed by several medium-sized air-time hills and a turnaround element that sent each train heading back to the station. The tracks diverged and traveled across more small air-time hills into the final tunnel-covered hill, where the tracks met up again as they reached the final brake run
