Greezed Lightnin’ is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, Kentucky. It is a standard sit down shuttle coaster with a weight drop launch system. The ride accelerates from 0 to 57 mph in six seconds, takes the riders though a single loop and up a 70 degree incline, then does the same track backwards. Greezed Lightnin' is known for being exceptionally loud. In fact, the sound of the train heading through the brake run can be heard all through the park.

Previously this coaster was at Six Flags Great America as the Tidal Wave and Six Flags Over Georgia as the Viper.
