Thunderbolt is a wooden roller coaster currently located at Six Flags New England originally opened as the Cyclone in 1941 and was renamed Thunderbolt in 1942. There is a similar but larger white wooden roller coaster at Six Flags New England called the Cyclone. The Thunderbolt is excellent for coasting beginners because of its slight initial drop and much more gentle and less rough nature compared to its sister the Cyclone. The ride, however, is still fun-packed when sitting in the back due to "air time" over the hills and lateral G-forces around turns.
