In front of the Thunderbolt is a great plaza where it's just nice to hang out.  They have the potato patch French fries there for the food and the classic Turtle ride.

After the bowl you head on back to the ravine for the final two turns of the ride.

After diving under the Steel Phantom's second drop which will sadly not be there next year you turn around for the Thunderbolt's big finale.

The final 90 foot drop into the ravine before heading back up the hill into the station!  All in all the Thunderbolt was a super ride!   I had been dreaming it for well over a decade and after riding it I want to ride it some more, the only problem is that it's a ten hour drive away, bummer

The Turtle, my first Harry Traver ride.   It's quite fun.  Basically you sit in a turtle and go around a circular track with humps in it.  Get to know your riding companions before riding this because you'll get to know them on the ride.
