Thunderbird is Holiday World’s signature steel launched wing coaster, created by B&M as their first launch design. The ride propels passengers from 0 to high speed in just a few seconds, sending them soaring through a series of rolls, near-miss elements, and sweeping inversions while sitting on “winged” seats positioned beside the track. The smoothness, forceful launch, and open-air sensation make it one of the park’s most breathtaking attractions.
