Thunder Express was a steel mine train coaster featuring dual lift hills and an undulating layout through wooded terrain. The experience utilized multiple-car trains that navigated a series of banked turns and sudden drops close to the ground. Mechanical operation relied on gravity-fed momentum following the mechanical ascent of each lift hill.
