Theme Parks Theme Parks Find Theme Parks Water Parks Roller Coasters From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks The legendary Thunderbolt at Coney Island gave its last ride in 1982. But coaster fans will be able to ride its rails once again -- sorta -- in 2014. Lightning to Strike Twice at Coney Island The circa-1925 Thunderbolt was right up there with the Cyclone in popularity, and the two wooden coasters survived the Brooklyn amusement area's long, sad demise -- until 1982, when the Thunderbolt gave its last ride. The neglected structure was demolished in 2000. (The Cyclone continues to thrill riders today.) But the Thunderbolt is set to return to the People's Playground in 2014, or at least a 20th-century facsimile of it. See what ride designers have in store for the reborn ride in my preview of the new Thunderbolt coaster coming to Coney Island.
