I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. Most days a second train isn't even needed.

Same issue with Cannonball and its much more needed there then on thunderbolt.  Thunderbolt is a great fun coaster but it gets a bit lost in the park among so many options.

I didn't make it to the park that year. I don't recall any trip reports or comments about anything like that happening.  I guess the cold could have affected something. Could have been a safety cut out. something the operator did.

Ya, Honestly I don't hate the name. The Bruins boss would have sounded a bit foolish.

Slightly better, Seems I was told wrong.
