American Thunder, Wooden roller coaster at Six Flags St. Louis, Missouri
The American Thunder roller coaster stretches over 2,700 feet of track, featuring an 80-foot drop and reaching speeds of 48 miles per hour.
Opening in 2008 under the name Evel Knievel Roller Coaster, this attraction received its current name in 2011 during a park-wide rebranding initiative.
The roller coaster stands in the 1904 World's Fair section of the park, connecting Missouri's history with modern entertainment technology.
With two 24-passenger Millennium Flyer trains operating simultaneously, the coaster accommodates 850 riders per hour and requires a minimum height of 48 inches.
The coaster design includes 16 hills and multiple banking turns up to 67 degrees, creating a continuous sequence of gravitational forces throughout the ride.
