Kennywood West Mifflin, Pennsylvania June 2000 Page Seven
Here's a shot of the Thunderbolt as it nears the top of it's lift. The valley area of the ride is left over from the Pippin coaster built by John Miller. The new section built in the late 1960's added a helix area called "the Bowl" which as intense laterals.
The great National Amusement Device trains head on down into the helix. As of a few years ago the trains had operating headlights but for some reason they did not return for the 2000 season...maybe a Y2K glitch?
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.
