Thunderbolt at Luna Park Coney Island

Picture
After our crew headed out from Six Flags Great Adventure's Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom "Media Day" (Click the link to see that report) they headed over to Luna Park to check out the all new Thunderbolt. 

Below are some great pictures of the ride as well as Chris' review. Thanks to Chris and Bill for the pictures!!

Info on Thunderbolt's opening from the park: 

The Thunderbolt Has Opened!

The Thunderbolt is the first custom built roller coaster in Coney Island since The Cyclone in 1927. Thrilling riders with speeds of 65 miles per hour, the 125 foot tall roller coaster, featuring over 2,000 feet of track, it sits near the historic B&B Carousell and the new Steeplechase Plaza, and marks another important milestone in Coney Island’s rebirth.

Chris' review and some great pictures. 

In true Coney Island fashion (weather wise), the ride was running with sustained winds of 30+mph

There is absolutely no line ever because the first ride cost 10 dollars, even when it is 92 degrees on a beach day in the middle of the summer.

That being said, it was kind of awesome. Awesome in a way that this is the coolest coaster within 50 miles of my house.
Picture
It's like a euro fighter without head banging so it's tough to describe.

I came off the ride thinking, that was fun but again, somewhat perplexed.

Gauging the ride based upon stuff I actually love: 
Is it worth 10 dollars a ride? Absolutely not. Is it really cool and easily the best roller coaster in New York? ABSOLUTELY.
Picture
Unfortunately, due to the weather and the cost, the only time we actually saw the ride run was when we rode it, so sadly no pictures of the ride in action.
