Thunderbolt

Description

Thunderbolt is a classic wooden roller coaster at Kennywood that delivers a powerful mix of airtime, sharp drops, and sweeping turns. Trains dive dramatically out of the station and race down the hillside, using the park’s natural terrain to build speed before charging through a series of tight curves and thrilling dips. The ride feels fast and a bit wild, with the signature lap bar restraint adding to the sense of freedom. With its nostalgic structure, rumbling track, and strong laterals, it’s a must-ride for coaster fans who enjoy a more traditional, high-intensity experience.
