Just curious becuase I never even heard of it, but then I saw some picture and it looked pretty cool, better than the cyclone.

It closed in 2003. I think it reached a period where it would either need extensive maintenance or be replaced. Dreamworld chose to take it down. I only rode it once when I was a lot younger. It was fun and on a large scale, but pretty rough too.

Did they replace it with the cyclone?

Replace might not be the best choice of word. I don't think they actually replaced it with anything. Cyclone was added a few years before they took it down. You can read about past attractions and stuff here.

Thanks DC

The Thunderbolt closed on the 8th of August 2003. More information can be found on Roller-Coaster.com.au's profile of the ride. Just for the record, it wasn't better than the Cyclone. The coaster was well rough.

Thanks DC

Happy to help. To bad I didn't get a chance to ride Thunderbolt for one last time when I went to the park just before the ride closed. No one else in my 'group' wanted to. Bah!
