Rolling Thunder 1995

[Da Chillin16JG]

I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of Rolling Thunder, cause the one's online really dont look that good and you can't hardly make them out, so if anybody could find some pic's of it that would make my day!

I've been on the ride 6 times but I was like only 5 or 6 an I really dont rember what the heck it looked like. So help me out.

I have been on that many times and used to be my favorite ride in the park seeing I wasn't tall enough to get on most of them.

[SFGAmfan]

I never went on it but it looked like it was kind of boring.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I never went on it... mainly because I didn't start going to SFGAm until 2000 and I probably wouldn't have been tall enough anyways. I would have loved to ride it...

[RagingBullFan]

I loved rolling thunder, esp. the nightime marathon I had with my family on it, rode it for like 30 mins straight, sure it was short, but with a fully loaded car, it was fun!

I rode it a few times with my dad....All I can remember is seeing lights passing by and branches and having to lean back....lol

[SFGAmfreak4life]

I went on it a few times too and all I remember is a turn. When Viper first opened I dont even remember Rolling Thunder being there. I remember waiting in the line and I dont remember seeing it next to it.

Rolling Thunder used to be my favorite also. I just loved whizzing through the tight banks and curves.

[SfGaMownz]

I used to always ride Rolling Thunder I even got the last ride on it . I still remember it today, it was a night ride on Labor Day, oh how I miss Rolling Thunder....

[EVOed8]

Rolling Thunder, I remember riding it and bawling my eyes out! Hahaa oh man. It made way for awesome expansion though. Long live SWT.

[Da Chillin16JG]

I also remember walking up the stairs for some reason and I was crying cause I didn't want to go on it. lol

[Mikey Pop]

Rolling Thunder was really fun. I used to love it. However, I seem to remember people not looking too happy when exiting the ride. They must have been crazy!! HAHA. The block brakes were quite painful though.

[Binks Drake]

I loved rolling Thunder! I wish it would come back! (That was not a request! I don't want to start another "Shockwave is not coming back"-debate. I just wanted to say that.)

[BatBull14]

i never rode it i wasn't even born when it opened and was only like 5 when it opened so i was too little to ride it.

[twixmix0303]

i never rode it i wasn't even born when it opened and was only like 5 when it opened so i was too little to ride it.

Huh? Do you mean you were 5 when it closed?

[Da Chillin16JG]

i never rode it i wasn't even born when it opened and was only like 5 when it opened so i was too little to ride it.

I was like 5 6 or 7 when I last rode it in 1995? Why couldn't you ride it?

[coasterswimgurl12]

she was probably to little and to scared to ride it....

In the first link to the picture that was taken at the top of Eagles Lift hill (backwards), if you look to the right of the base of the lift hill, you can see rolling thunder cars.
