"Thunderbolt" is a wooden roller coaster currently located at Six Flags New England. Opened in 1941 Thunderbolt is currently the oldest roller coaster at Six Flags New England. It is also the oldest roller coaster in any Six Flags park, along with the Comet at The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom in Lake George, New York. The Thundebolt Roller Coaster was dedicated an ACE Landmark Coaster on August 2nd, 2008.
History
The plans for the "Thunderbolt" were purchased from the 1940 New York World's Fair. When it opened in 1941, it was called Cyclone; the ride was renamed Thunderbolt in 1942.
Other notes
Though it is a relatively wild coaster, it is ideal for those who want to ride a wooden coaster but do not have the courage to ride the park's other one, the intense and physically rough Cyclone. One of the primary reasons why the ride hasn't been demolished is because it is very popular among coaster enthusiasts.
