THE EXTERMINATOR
Dark Ride or Roller Coaster? It’s both! The Exterminator is a high-speed roller coaster in the dark! But that’s not the only twist – the individual cars spin as they travel the twisting turning track. Once inside the car, the rider in essence becomes the rat and travels through underground utilities and sewers to escape the enemy – Exterminators. Hairpin turns… dark & intimidating surroundings… spinning… riders can never quite be sure what’s next. Riders must be 46” tall to ride. Riders between 46” and 52” tall must wear a seat belt while riding.

PHANTOM’S REVENGE
Phantom’s Revenge is one of the fastest roller coasters in the world. Unlike most coasters, the biggest drop on this ride is not the first but the second - a whopping 230’ reaching speeds of 85 mph. The Phantom’s Revenge travels over and under the Thunderbolt with plenty of banked curves and lots of airtime. Riders must be at least 48” tall to ride.

RACER
This beautiful John Miller classic is the only single track, racing coaster in the United States. It is designed with a reverse curve so riders begin on the right and finish on the left. Thus, from the lift hill on, the tracks remain side-by-side rather than separating in the middle of the ride allowing riders to experience the race throughout. Riders must be at least 46” tall to ride.

THUNDERBOLT
Dubbed the Ultimate Roller Coaster and King of Coasters by the New York Times in 1974, the Thunderbolt remains near the top of everyone’s “top coasters” list. It’s unique in many ways… including an amazing plunge immediately upon leaving the station and its biggest drop at the end of the ride. The Thunderbolt reaches speeds in excess of 50 mph. Riders must be at least 52” tall to ride.
