Have you ever dreamed of soaring through the air like a majestic hawk? Our Thunderhawk roller coaster, the first suspended looping coaster in the state, comes mighty close to delivering the next best thing!
After you choose your seat, lower the harness and brace yourself for the ride, the floor leaves you and your feet are just dangling free. A breathtaking ascent to 120 feet begins your flight, and you can see Adventure Falls, WildWater Adventure and Grand Rapids below, just like the birds do. Just then, you free fall a mind-blowing 86 feet and the feeling hits you — the freedom of flying!
After that is a dizzying series of barrel rolls, inverted wing loops and a stomach-turning roll over — all while reaching speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. It’s no wonder the mighty Thunderhawk is one of the most revered rides around!
Height requirement: Between 52” and 78”
