Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster - Roller coaster in Charlemont - 66D Thunder Mountain Rd, USA

So much fun! Didn’t realize how fast it would actually go, but you control the speed. The line was a bit long (about an hour wait) so we only got to use one of our three ride tokens. Hopefully we can use them another time?

It was so fun. Coaster ride and zip line were the highlights of this place. So many bikers were biking down the hill. You can spend few hours here. The view from top is breathtaking. Highly recommend to visit.

This was a beautiful little ride. Came during great sunny weather and everything was lush and green. Nice breeze. Long ride up but it is calm and serene, as you go by the brush and trees. It is so fun going down and really thrilling. You can control your speed by the hand brakes the operator helps instruct you on, before you go up. There are alarms for when you are going to catch up to the person in front or if your seat belt gets taken off. The cart auto brakes as well, so you don't crash into the person in front of you. It only sucks that you're limited by the person in front of you. Unfortunately, I happened to get stuck behind someone who was going extremely slow and that partially ruined the ride for me honestly. Funny thing, she bragging to her husband in line that she always does mountain coasters, it was easy and she wasn't scared. She'll probably catch up to him, yada yada. Then she got scared and kept braking 💀 So about a third to mid way down, I just got stuck constantly auto stopping bc she was constantly braking and going. My boyfriend was wondering if something was wrong, but we were just all backed up behind this lady. All in all, it wasn't really the rides fault, and it was still a great experience and beautiful scenery. Getting to coast a bit through the trees was still nice, no matter how fast or slow you were going. I wish it could've lasted longer. (That's what she said ;P)

1) I think the thunderbolt mountain alpine coaster was loads of fun 2) do not like the fact that you cannot cancel your rides for a refund without paying 15% of the price you pay for the rides, and cannot get a refund day of your trip. 3) nice mountains and views 4) great employees who were fun and made sure you were safe. Even cared to see you ride more then once. 5) like the free parking close to the place. 6) enjoyed the food from the limited menu since the restaurant wasn't open today. 7) do not buy tickets in advance, buy them when you are there so that you don't get caught not be able to hold on to or get your money back. I did not do anything except the alpine coaster, but I would definitely be back in the future to try the other entertainment and the alpine coaster again they have to offer. Just note I do not recommend tickets bought online. Buy when there.

This mountain coaster is the best that I have ever ridden. The climb is relaxing and calm and the ride down is full of great twists and turns that you take at your own speed controlled by two hand breaks. Everyone in our group loved it and wanted to ride a second time. I look forward to our next trip here to ride the coaster again but also zip line rides.

Is such a fun to riding those cars down the mountain. We came there 10:00 am, so was not too many people and we did 3 rides very quickly, took us less than an hour.

This was a lot of fun, everyone had a good time. I would do it again if I was in the area. I am afraid of heights , so I was a little nervous,but the rails are not that high off the ground

A very fun experience for the whole family. They could do with some better signage like the mountain bike and zip line check in so first timers can more easily locate the area. Additionally I did not see the point in buying tickets online as you have to go stand in the same line as ticket buyers to get your ride tokens. Logistics aside, ride itself is fun and safe.
