Thunder Striker is a steel hyper coaster featuring a series of high-speed hills and deep drops designed to maximize airtime. The ride utilizes a traditional chain lift hill to carry trains to their peak elevation before gravity takes over for the remainder of the course. Passengers are secured in open-air seating arrangements that emphasize the sensation of speed and elevation throughout the numerous camelback hills and high-banked turns. The layout concludes with a sweeping turnaround and a series of smaller hills leading into a magnetic braking system.
