Thunderbolt Savin Rock

Located entirely on a pier located over the Long Island Sound, the Savin Rock Thunderbolt was one of 3 Prior & Church coasters that were built in 1925 with similar layouts that included a large fan curve followed by a second drop that crossed back over the first drop. These sister coasters include the Giant Dipper at Happyland and the Cyclone at Revere Beach.

The lift hill rose to a height of 77 feet above the pier or 90 feet above the water. The first drop of 65 feet led up to a fan curve that dropped 40 feet before a third drop plunged 50 feet alongside the lift hill.
