American Thunder, Wooden roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis, Missouri
American Thunder is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis in Missouri. The ride features a series of climbs and sharp turns that create a fast-paced experience for visitors.
The roller coaster opened in 2008 under a different name and received its current name during a park redesign. This change reflected a new thematic direction for the amusement park.
The roller coaster stands in the 1904 World's Fair section of the park, connecting Missouri's history with modern entertainment technology.
The coaster operates throughout the day under most weather conditions and offers rides at different times. Visitors should plan their visit around peak hours when lines tend to be longer.
The coaster was designed with multiple successive hills that lift riders out of their seats repeatedly throughout the journey. This design choice creates moments of weightlessness that many riders find to be the most memorable part of the experience.
