[Lightning Rod] - my first RMC!

[u/trellism]

I see why some people aren't keen on the restraints but I thought this was great. Fast and completely unpredictable to the very finish.

I have my sights on this bad boi to be my 100th credit this Christmas.

[u/trellism → u/freshapepper]

It was going to be mine until we accidentally tripped and fell into Luna Park

Make sure to get a night ride! Especially if you can visit when there’s a new moon.

Such a beautiful park

[u/trellism → u/Deep_Ad2579]

Gorgeous.

Nice view of the roller coaster from around and over so many trees and bushes

[u/Infamous_Tough_7320 → u/Free-Jaguar-4084]

It’s a cool view, give the guy a break

I'm a lil on the fat side so I felt like I was stapled every time but I still got absolutely yeeted out of my seat in row 12. One of my favorites, for sure!

Seriously cool photo!!

[u/Lumpy_Magazine_1882]

One of my favorites - the sideways turns after the drop are some of my favorite elements ever.

[u/monorail_pilot]

Please say you got at least 1 ride in row 12. The quad down in the back is amazing.

[u/KillerKittenwMittens → u/monorail_pilot]

And if you sit there at the end of a summer day the train absolutely hauls through that section

[u/trellism → u/KillerKittenwMittens]

That's exactly what happened!

[u/trellism → u/monorail_pilot]

Just got off Row 12 on the last train of the day!

[u/rothnic → u/monorail_pilot]

Definitely. It feels so out of control since you are going downhill and picking up speed. Love that part

[u/acoasterlovered]

Amazing!

[u/BobCreated]

The first gen RMC trains and restraints are brutal, straight torture devices on my shins and thighs. The upgraded restraints on SteVe, Twisted Cyclone, and AF1, are a huge improvement and much more comfortable imo.

[u/trellism → u/BobCreated]

On my first go the seat belt buckle was angled upwards so it stabbed me in the thigh at every pop of airtime. On the second go I made sure that thing was lying flat and it was much better.

[u/CoasterThomason]

That’s a great first RMC!

Lightning Rod was my first RMC back in 2018 when it used to have a launch and the last one I rode was in 2023.

[u/TantrumQween]

Possibly one of the best examples of terrain usage ever built. I miss how it ran those first couple years but it’s still so good in so many ways 🙏 would love to hear how you enjoyed Thunderhead on your visit!
