[CoryLikesToast]

@XxSomxRayxX yeah i know... but Top Gun is the exact same ride at Canadas Wonderland

[XxSomxRayxX]

@CoryLikesToast ohh. haha lol sorry bout that/: & weird i never knew that.

[Thingsthatgoboom97]

Thums up if you live in Grand Rapids of Muskegon!!

[TheJayyyRoma]

@Thingsthatgoboom97 Grand Rapids of Muskegon? Muskegon and Grand Rapids are two completeeely different places buddy lol...

[Thingsthatgoboom97]

@TheJayyyRoma sry i ment or

[xSkeptyk]

@Thingsthatgoboom97 I live in detroit but i was there yesterday.

[Thingsthatgoboom97]

@xSkeptyk cool but i ment to say grand rapids or muskegon

[jdivergh22]

@Thingsthatgoboom97 Or close to it lol

[Ringelscherz]

In Germany is this one too Awesome :D

[jdivergh22]

Thunderhawk is fun for sure....But I think Cedar Fair needs to add a couple more coasters...Heck I'd even be happy with a clone of "Wicked Twister" from Cedar Point. But overall it's still the best park Michigan has:)

[pussymstrr]

@jdivergh22 only park michigan has 

[jdivergh22]

@pussymstrr Yes technically. Sadly. Lol

[pussymstrr]

@jdivergh22 cedar point is closer to me , im in metro detroit

[jdivergh22]

@pussymstrr That's cool. I love Cedar Point, but I'm pretty closer to Muskegon.

[TheMalteseSpartan]

@pussymstrr me to. I want last week and the place was empty

[pussymstrr]

@TheMalteseSpartan was michigan adventures fun tho ? like is the thuderhawk like raptor ?

[TheMalteseSpartan]

@pussymstrr Michigan's Adventure is fun. It's smaller and there's only a few roller coasters, but the waterpark kindaaa makes up for it. And Thunderhawk is better than Raptor, you just have to keep your arms and legs inside because you feel like you're going to lose them at some parts. Ceader Point is still better for coaster maniacs, but they're owned bu the same people so what few coasters they have are pretty good.

[pussymstrr]

@TheMalteseSpartan have you been to kings island?

[TheMalteseSpartan]

@pussymstrr no

[MyJakill]

it has the same trck pieces as the hangman at wild adventures

[starfoxfxfreak]

I live in Ohio, so I was sad when Geauga Lake Amusement park closed, but I'm kinda happy that this ride is still running somewhere else.

[happykittyify]

wow i been on the biggest on michigan but freaked out about that

[001FredRox100]

going this Sunday i usally sy ill go on it but wtch me chiken out lol i just hate how its so confusing! i cant tell whats happening in the vid :(

[hubabuba651]

i went that  ride with my best friend and she pee her pants

[x3MissRoflx3]

THIS IS THE BEST RIDE EVER!!!

[noeynoah45]

I <3 that ride :D

[boondockschop30]

i remember riding on this. it was fun. the best part is that they let you take off your shoes on the ride.

[ClaribelR01]

ahh i get dizzy just looking at it

[emachinesnerd]

same as t2 at kentucky kingdom

[DudeDie222]

@emachinesnerd This one has longer trains and is a little longer.

[rockerz4ever21]

i wish i could go back to mi adventures 2 ride it becuase i was scarwed to go upside down but i went on the corkscrew and i loved it

[mrsnipe597]

@rockerz4ever21 The Corkscrew is good but it's 2 seconds long

[rockerz4ever21]

@mrsnipe597 yag cant wait 2 go on this

[paintballingcole]

weres the cmera on that ride

[shawtiibabeh]

Hahaa thats so funn!!! ecept when i rode i hurt my neck.

[mrsnipe597]

@shawtiibabeh I couldn't keep my head up on that ride the first time I rode it, and I still can't keep my head up now when I ride it lol

[shawtiibabeh]

@mrsnipe597 i know right lol but its the best ride there for mee xD

i till ride it even tho my neck poped i found out i had whiplash from it but im kay now [:

[mrsnipe597]

@shawtiibabeh Don't get me wrong,it's my favorite roller coaster there,it's just that it's so hard to keep your head since it's going 110 mph lol

[shawtiibabeh]

@mrsnipe597 Lol i know

[akich25]

i remember it being very rough at Geauga Lake

[lionsravensfan01]

it looked like they were going to hit the pillers.

[ProRunecraft]

went on it yesterday for first time was really fun

[fireflameball11]

i rode this 20 times

[6flgslover]

thunderhawk looks so nice now

[KayCeeMoney]

IS IT LIKE THE RAPTOR?

[coltarmadillo]

@KayCeeMoney a bit, it is a bit different but still very fun i reccomend it

[stevenkiller1993]

10 times in a row baby! haha. That ride is awesome!

[RUFFLES170]

WE WENT THERE YESTERDAY AND I SO GOT ON IT 

[maketorres]

@RUFFLES170 was it awsome!?

[6flgslover]

this irde looks awesum nd smoother than most VEKOMA SLC's as i've heard

[bamfan151]

No different than Cedar Points "Raptor"

But theyre both GREAT RIDES!

[andrewandgregpwnu]

@bamfan151 it's actually much different. It's more like mind eraser in six flags new england

[MrDrProfessor1530]

just life the kong at SFDK except yellow and squeaky

[casinobowling]

That ride operator is FULL OF SHIT! The standard 689m SLC model does NOT have a helix!

[BrandonCrazyTV]

@casinobowling the helix makes the ride better dumb ass, and it lower s the amount of whiplash you will get

and the SLC madel is not as good as this one. this was edited by cedar fair entertainment, so technicaly its not the original design.

BTW, i saw the RCT mod as well, it has a helix in it.

[casinobowling]

There are 24 of theese! They are ALL EXACTLY THE SAME! The only thing different is the Color and Name!

[BrandonCrazyTV]

@casinobowling tahts because it was designed by Aero-Dynamics. they manufacture coasters and then sell disigns, the ppl who own mich adventures just decided it was time for a cheap coaster to be puit in

[casinobowling]

@BrandonCrazyTV FUCK YOU! AND YOUR UGLY ASS MOTHER! This ride was designed AND built by VEKOMA NOT Arrow! And BTW learn how to spell ARROW! They do have very similar looking tracks but ARROW-DYNAMICS have never designed a suspended looping coaster in their enitre life!

[casinobowling]

Just another STUPID SLC! No reason to get excited!

[MakeupGuruGirlz]

I've been On that ride like 80 Times! I love it so much!

[l33sk8erboy]

beleive me from experience! this ride is fuckin wicked! i was nervous at first but i am priveleged to say this was my FIRST rollercoaster EVER! Awesome Ride

[Toemiester]

love that ride so much!

[vuluver135]

about 5 inversions

[wwemania321]

how many inversions

[muskegonsbest]

Gotta love a good coaster :) Great video...

[casinobowling]

@muskegonsbest If you wanna love a GOOD coaster, then why the fuck worship a stupid SLC!

[BrenMcCloud]

I love all the marching band guys waiting to ride. gotta love roller coasters and marching band!!!

[hobointhehouse1]

LOL i live in Muskegon

[LonelyIslandStoners]

omg this used to be my favorite ride before they moved it to stupied Michigan

[Lala3295]

Im going to get on the honor roll this year so I can ride it.

[pturner5998]

I <3 that ride!!!!!!!!!!!

[amyownzzz]

I think i threw my shoulder out on this ride somehow but it was worth it!!! I did a bunch of other stuff at michigans adventure yesterday though so it could have been alot of stuff. Oh well great day

[leahmilicic]

i loved that ride!

[EdwardCullenCrazy2]

I went there a couple days ago and it didn't make me dizzy at all... this, however, did. lol

[CLeprechaun]

that ride cleared my sinuses

[Patryk1306]

went there a few days ago i went on it twice even though it was raining it's the best ride at Mich Adventure

[omegazero36]

wow, same here, cept i was freaking inside my mind and it rained everytime i went on a water ride and during the most revealing areas in the park, the rain cut the trip dissapointingly short

[carkid37]

did you ride shivering timbers? because i reslly wanted to ride it!!

[Patryk1306]

yeah i rode it

It was kind of fun, the bad thing was that it was SUCH a bumpy and rough ride, even worse than the 'Mean Steak' at Cedar Point, which is supposed to be one of the bumpiest wooden coasters. but apart from that it was awesome

[zewek420]

not nearly as bad shaking as mean streak..i've worked at both places and mean streak is way more jerky and bumpy.

[Patryk1306]

I mean Shivering Timbers not Thunderhawk

Thunderhawk is awesome

[mrpizzaboy1]

this ride sucks

[SoraraUciha]

I went on that ride when i was 11 and i had a stomouch ack and a headack and the whole time on the ride my friend was screming LOOK AT THE CLOUDS LOOK

[dmiller531]

It may be 10 years old but I bet cpbowler4 never rode it!!!!!!!!

[cpbowler4]

LOL. They cut a ribbon for it and the ride is over 10 years old. It use to be at Geauga Lake.

[omalleyfoshizz]

Its new to michigan adventures thats why they cut the ribbon on it

[kingheem3]

im goin to hope to c u there

[orangepeels1234]

IM GOIN THER TOMORROW SO PUMPED

[Monstory]

Ew... that's so gross...

People who have weak stomachs throw up on these rides, but continue to go on others... as if they didn't know they would puke again...

I don't have a weak stomach, even after I eat..

IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH, DON'T GO ON THESE TWISTING AND SPINNING RIDES! YOU'LL RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S EXPERIENCE AT THE PARK! D:

[pinhead418]

wen we went here for schol a frend of a frend didnt put the seat belt connecting to the thing u pull over urself and in the middle of the ride it flew open he was screaming so loud thr wer all laughing at him

[BMXandBMTH]

i rode it yesterday best ride at michigan adventures

[cpbowler4]

When this ride use to be at Geauga Lake before Michigan's Adventure it was only like the 4th best ride. Look up Dominator, X-Flight and the Villian.

[rottweiler4567]

i went on that roller coaster! it was sooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sillynugget101]

little too short in my opinion...

[mayodefender]

is this recommended for a 10 year old who has only been on three roller coasters ever? none of them went upside down. please reply to answer.

[sillynugget101]

For a 10 year old. pshyea. If he/she wasn't scared of the first three then it should be okay. It's a great beginner coaster because it's not very high but it does still pack a load of fun going through the course. I'd say give it a go. It really can't hurt...

[kate1283]

Went to Cedar Point yesterday... and other than THunderHawk riding smoother.. Raptor is a better ride :)

[courtneycoo12]

this was sooooooooooooooo much fun

[Lissowskix5722]

OOMMGEEE!! I went to Michigan's Adventure and i thought that i hated rides and my dad made me rode shivering timbers and i loved it so i went on this onee and it was soo much funn! You get so lost and you feel like you dont even know what you are doing and like your legs are gonna hit all the poles. AWESOMEEE ride!!!

[OinzCEO17]

I'm going there tomorrow! im so exited!

[beaner5079]

i rode this ride 5 times in a row. it hurt my head but i still luved it lol

[94XJ]

Not a bad ride, they let me on once but the second time I got in line they told me I was too tall to ride.

@maverickrider11, the max speed is 50mph...there's no way we're going 50 through the inversions

Yeah, definitely the best ride in Michigan...but that's about it.

[maverickrider11]

Omg this is just like the raptor but when you get on it i think its more intense than raptor because like you go through a very tight loop then you do 2 inversions at 50 mph which is really cool great ride and great park bbut cedar point is the best amusment park there thunderhawk is my second favorite behind shivering timbers!

[InsanitySk8Kr3w]

I kept thinking my legs were gonna hit the poles lmao

[kswish16]

Raptor is better. Its made by b&m probably the best rollercoaster maker. Thunderhawk is made by vekoma a decent ride but not like raptor.

[C3H2P8]

This use to be at Geuga Lake in Ohio.

[rayrachness101]

i wouldnt want to be the 1st people to ride on it!!! lol!!!!!! i went on it twice. is SOOO worth waiting to ride on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TiaGurl96]

THATS SO FuN

i WONDER iS iT LiKE THE RAPTOR BCUZ i HAVENT RODE THE RAPTOR iN A WHiLE

[bellasophiecreations]

this ride looks just like the raptor at cedar point!!! lol it looks really fun!!

[gardenspook]

remnds me of the raptor

[hsdwt]

i rode thunderhawk 37 times when i was there. then i got bored

[optimonqd]

ive been to geauga lake, mich adv., cedar point, kings island and all the parks in florida plus a couple six flags but i love cedar point the most (of course it has the most rides) but im goin to mich adv. this summer my girl has never been hope itll be fun havent been there since i was like 12 ride looks nice still remember shivering timbers beiin sweet though

[cubsws88]

just went there today and rode this the first time....awesome ride. i kept thinking that the track and other things that pass under you during the ride would hit my legs lol

[Saulaxxlover4lyfe]

I like this ride, and I live 45 minutes away from MA. :) like, I go every year. this is now my favorite ride there, because we don't have like Serious rides that go upside down there. :] But it was sad, Shivering Timbers had a bigger line Last year, I'm going this weeekened tho. ;]

[1love4soccer]

omg! this is the best ride at MA tied with shivering timbers and the rip cord!

when your on the ride, isn't this higher than it looks from waiting in line? BUT IT'S SOO MUCH FUN :D

[TheSoundDepo]

It looks like you're flying coz you can't see the track above

[AlmostInspired]

boring if your a roller coaster maniac. its funnest ride there though!

[Lala3295]

No shivering timbers is the funnest ride there.

[bitts39]

ive rode the raptor which the best ride ever. but i havent rode this. i live in michigan too soo yeah ima ride it this summer.

[katelynn41]

that must be really scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abbalonie123]

its relle not tht bad it wuz one of mi first upside roller coaster i rode and i wuz a little scared but i would so do it again.. i luv this ride

[Lukerativestopaction]

My favorite ride there is "Shivering Timbers"

[webkinzluva1237890]

It's fun but it's not really that scary.

[08hilla2012]

that was a really fun ride!!

[empireearth100]

i rode it yesterday

[clairbearie46]

yeahhh I'm going here with my class on thursday :D

gonna be a blast!

[MapleRebels]

wow at went there yesterday, it was AWESOME!!! It was also my first rollercoaster ride the ride kinda forces you to make your head go forward and the cheekbone bumped into the restraits!

[Crissbaby2008]

Oh boy my 1 sis would NOT want 2 ride that then if we went this year. And I'd deffinetly be on that. I'd been on almost all of Cedar Point's coasters except Jr. Gemini (1 of 2 children's coasters) and the Mavrick (adult coaster). So ya know how I feel about them.

[Suhvanir]

I rode this opening day and the line was insane, but we got there early so it wasn't as bad but when we went back for another round they had to close it for technical problems. "/

[KinGKonG851]

i rode it its amazing

[Xiaoln]

Man looks like fun is this like the raptor at cedar point?? or is it better?? only one way to find out. I'm going there tommorrow.

[sc0G33e]

nope raptor i have to say is a lot better

[Xiaoln]

yeah I was there and that ride was pretty short. Raptor is by far better than this, even though they are both great rides.

[JamFromEarth]

i have rode this last year, and when your riding i always keep my legs locked together becuase it always seems like your legs are gonna hit the rail.

also major headache afterwords with the restraint.

[jeffreychampion1]

this ride is the shit i dident have to wit the first time i rode it

[l337SKILLZ942]

This is one of my favorite rides

[roadrage902100]

im pretty sure this was the one they had at geauga lake before it closed

[ArrowD3495]

Yes, this was also at Geauga Lake, also under the name of Thunderhawk. When Geauga Lake shut down in 2007 this went to Michigan's Adventure for 2008.

[cpfourlife]

maybe if we're lucky they will get the new restraints.

[psgirl1456]

thats looks wikid!!!!

[emilyhardie]

search infusion blackpool pleasure beach

its exacly like this x

[iheartanimals00300]

It's great!! I live there and look up another ride called RIP CORD I rode that too!

[jamesthemaniac]

pity the park couldn't afford a proper B&M Inverted Coaster!

[oshilzl]

yeah! it relly is, that park deserves a great inverted coaster!

[chobo500]

I have ridden a ride like this called the mind eraser. It raddled my head and gave me a headache. I'm not sure about this ride, but it might be better then mind eraser

[jamesthemaniac]

its not.

[ayyeitsKelsey]

omg i loved that ride last summer. I went on it about 4 times.

and my fourth time i got a tad sick. not barfing sick. lol. fav. ride.

i love living in michigan! haha!

ohhh shivering timbers and the funnel of fear are pretty awesome too.

[AceofSpades462]

love the thunderhauk!!

[awsomeguy96]

I love that place

[WolverineBroz]

I wish i was there when it opened but i went like 3 months after it opened

[soccer4231]

i litterly rode this 20 times cause i got there really early and no one was here so i got on constinly and BEST roller coster of my life

[hoovie021]

I ALSO LOVE THIS RIDE

[countryrocks23]

This ride is SSSSSSOOOOOOOO much fun.

I went on it 5times.

[Doggieworld3]

Michigan Adventure for the win! How's the Thunderhawk? good?

[jamesthemaniac]

the restraints kill your head.

[Doggieworld3]

Then I wanna ask again...:( Is it possible to make cotton-soft shoulder harnesses?

[iheartanimals00300]

they do!! Your head KILLS!! it gives you a bad headache!! I rode that when I had a headband With TEETH(!) in it!! It dug into my head!

[651617]

i worked a michigans adventure this summer, and i thought they waisted their money on this ride. it was to slow, rickety, and not nearly as tall enough.

[psp110]

that ride is fun but i banged my nose when it hit the side of the harness wile trying to hold on to my glasses

[OPTI10109]

I go 2 michigans adventure every summer, and this year i almost went on, but my friend and cousin weren't tall enough ♣

[lildrummerboy131]

I miss Thunderhawk and Geauga Lake, but I always have Cedar Point.

[cps6290]

lol same here!!!

[chicko42]

i love this ride. its awesome!!! The first time i almost like peed my pants but it was awesome and not that scary after the first time.
