America's first and only launched wing coaster is called Thunderbird, and is one heck of a ride! Not only is it glossy smooth, but its got good forces, nice theming, and powerful elements!

I rode the Thunderbird for the first time ever yesterday, and I never stopped riding it until I left to go home! Overall, I rode it about 10-15 times until I finally rode the Voyage 2-3 times. Holiday World is definitely one of the best parks in the world, even if it is small!

@imsil-gun 8 лет назад

I literally rose this 30 times the one day I went, I tried every seat and the back right seat is one of the most fun experiences I've ever ridden.

Back row, far left was my favorite. It definitely felt more forceful and even got a little airtime coming out of the zero g roll. Also thought it was cool how close your feet are to the ground towards the end.

Another great review. I loved this ride; it was initially in my top 10 and now sits just outside at 11. I agree it's near AfterBurn.

@VarietyVlogVV 8 лет назад

Believe it or not, I prefer Gatekeeper instead of Thunderbird as my favorite wing coaster. I'm not a CP fanboy, but the keyhole element and the wing over drop are both great. The presentation of Gatekeeper seems so majestic and beautiful. I agree Gatekeeper isn't as forceful, but something about it is great. Thunderbird was my 4th favorite coaster at Holiday World, even though I loved it, because the woodies there are so good.

@terrancepounds1090 8 лет назад

You're right!! It's a great ride and beats the others(wing coasters) hands down. Best ride in that park

I liked it, but I rode it during a rainstorm and it wasn't the best experience. I personally like Gatekeeper better as of now due to the length, but I would have to ride Thunderbird again in better conditions to be sure. I do like the idea that its the only B&M Launched coaster around.

@ethanperry714 7 лет назад

@CoasterCrab 8 лет назад

@osh-dy6tc 7 лет назад

i think that wing coasters are really cool in an aspect that you're supposed to be flying around in a sense like a bird, and thats why you see a lot of "bird" themed wing coasters (wild eagle, thunderbird, gatekeeper)

@oneandonlysound3453 7 лет назад

I wish we'd get this at Six Flags Great Adventure. Like the park can really another wooden coaster (GCI) or a steel hybrid from RMC, but the park's only launch coaster barely works, and honestly they could take superman and green lantern and ship them to other six flags parks (and make GL floorless maybe six flags america for it). Have an epic looking Wing Coaster in the front and a new wooden coaster by say 2021 (both of them) it'd be great. Only thing that bugs me about a launched wing coaster is not getting that cool drop the others all have, but, I feel like they could design one to have that element instead of how Thunderbird begins.

@libertynoble1157 5 лет назад

@TigerRogersOfficial 8 лет назад

Personally, between Thunderbird, Wild Eagle, and Gatekeeper, I have to give it to Gatekeeper. The fun factor you had on this one was what I enjoyed on Gatekeeper, and while it wasn't the most intense ride, I feel that it's general gracefulness made up for it. I enjoyed Thunderbird very much, although for me, the length was a bit of a turn-off. But everyone likes what they likes, and if you like Thunderbird more than Gatekeeper, I can definitely see why

@aidenwegener2285 6 лет назад

UrukHai659 what about x flight it is better than wild eagle

@stevenlukes3056 8 лет назад

I've ridden 3 of the 4 wing coasters in America, and by far Thunderbird is the best. Gatekeeper was great, but the rattle sucked. X Flight was WAY too short, and thunderbird not only has the best of both worlds, but has a launch

@tgijoe5370 8 лет назад

I found Flug Der Damon and Raptor to be forceful, Raptor has tight turns and fun inversions, and Flug has great inversions, and the first airtime hill is so intense. Thunderbird also looks intense, and the theming makes it even better!

@MyIphoneGaming 6 лет назад

B&M needs a 4D model and a redesigned stand up, send both to cedar point and six flags great america needs a good stand up to replace iron wolf, the only problem with stand ups is that it hurts your nuts and after standing in line, you just want to sit down, they should take out the part tgat goes between your legs and put in a soft one thats made of the stuff that the B&M vest restraints are made out of. Also make a single rider line or a virtual queue like how they do for some of the VR Coasters where you get a ticket to come back at a cirtain time, also the 4D coasters could have everyother row face backwards (front and back facing out) and have the left side spin freely and the right side controled like X2 or 1 side uses fins or something, if the trains are too heavy, they could always use the big dive coaster track, B&M also needs a spinning coaster like the pandimoniums but like 150 feet tall and goes upside down or have a launch

This may sound funny but while I think Thunderbird is a technically better ride I prefer the experience on gatekeeper. In the back I just felt more force on GateKeeper. But that was in the back. Thunderbird gives a better overall ride. I enjoy both though neither is mind-blowing and I guess I give the edge to gatekeeper simply because I'm almost always q back row rider anyway. Agreed more wings need launches!

It seems like how longer the train on a wing coaster is, how more forceless it is. Fēnix at Toverland also has a pretty short train, 1 car longer than thunderbird, but Fēnix is also very forceful.

Just wondering, did B&M themselves manufacture the launch or was it handled by a third party manufacturer like with Hulk? I thought they had a strict no-launch policy.
