Lightning Run at Kentucky Kingdom Theme Park, Louisville, Kentucky

As good as Lightning Run is I really want Chance Rides to get to selling more of them, especially to a park near me.  If the planned Mattel Park in Kansas near the new Kansas City Chiefs stadium ever gets started there will be a Chance Hyper GTX like Lightning Run half as close to me as Kentucky Kingdom.  Not that it'll keep me from wanting to come here and ride Lightning Run.

Just like Bond's first reaction to Wilderness Run was, he was caught off guard by Lightning Run's aggressive intensity.

There were quite a few sharp and quick bursts of "WOW" here and there from him.  I knew he was hooked about half the way through the ride.

Even though with a track length of just twenty-five hundred feet with as much as Lightning Run has got going on the ride feels longer than it is.

You are just whipped around the course and by the time you figure out what's going on Lightning Run throws you for something completely different.
