Thunderhead Rollercoaster at Dollywood, Pigeon Forge Tennessee

There isn't any dead time on Thunderhead because you're always twisting this way or that and diving here and climbing there.

GCI's trains on Thunderhead are fantastic but my only problem which ended up being a bit painful were their lap bars.  There is almost no return spring to hold them up and over the course of the ride they ratchet down further and further making Thunderhead's fantastic finale painful.

>As you can see by the numerous pictures of Thunderhead's station turn I had a lot of fun just watching as well as riding.

After twisting around it's time to head on down to one of Thunderhead's most interesting elements.
