LIGHTNING RACER:

This is absolutely one of my favorite rides in the park! Known as America's only wooden racing/dueling roller coaster, Lightning Racer promises to deliver the ultimate thrill ride experience. Once entering the magnificent station, you can choose which train you want to ride- Lightning on the right or Thunder on the left. Upon leaving the station you will roll around and meet the other train at the lift hill. After descending the drop, you'll travel, like a flash of lightning, racing against your opponents in the other train. When you think you are going to collide with the other train, the tracks split in a near miss. Along your journey, you will race underneath a waterfall, fly through a tunnel and travel through "Sideswipe Alley", where the two trains are sucked within a few feet from one another. At the end of the race, the winning train is declared and the passengers meet their opponents at the exit ramp.
