Muskegon - A new roller coaster will be thrilling riders along the lake shore next spring.Michigan's Adventure Amusement Park announced today that they will soon start construction on Michigan's first suspended looping roller coaster. The "Thunderhawk" will be Michigan Adventure's seventh roller coaster, and will represent the largest single ride expenditure in the history of the park. The Thunderhawk will climb 105 feet in the air and then drop 86 feet. Riders' feet will dangle below them along a course that features five inversions and top speeds of 50 m.p.h."Thunderhawk will bring a new dimension of thrills to the park," said Camille Jourden-Mark, the vice president and general manager of Michigan's Adventure. "A suspended coaster that loops will be an instant favorite with our guests."Thunderhawk will be located near RipCord and Adventure Falls. It will have a massive steel structure with tubular steel track and will stretch 2,260 feet. The ride will last approximately 2 minutes,15 seconds. Riders will be seated in pairs in open seats that will be suspended below the track. Each rider will be secured with an over-the-shoulder harness and interlocking safety belt. A train will accommodate 20 riders. Riders must be between 52- and 80-inches tall to ride Thunderhawk. The ride was designed and manufactured by Vekoma International B.V., Vlodrop, The Netherlands.

I look forward, with child like anticipation, to next summer...we may be moving our annual trip to Michigan's Adventure to the beginning of the summer next year!!!
