Thunder Run

Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom

The concept for this roller coaster began as a sketch on a cocktail napkin by John Fetterman who later designed the coaster for the now defunct Americana Amusement Park (aka LeSourdsville Lake) in 1986. Thunder Run was eventually built at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom four years later.
