American Thunder is a wooden roller coaster located in the 1904 World's Fair section of Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri. The coaster was originally named after and themed to the famous motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel. It was renamed American Thunder for the 2011 season.[1] To help promote the opening of the then-Evel Knievel Roller Coaster, Knievel's son, Robbie Knievel, jumped a Honda CR-500 motorcycle over 25 Dodge Chargers on July 3, 2008.
As a result of the St. Louis Cardinals losing to the Chicago Cubs in the 2015 National League Division Series, Six Flags St. Louis lost a friendly wager with Six Flags Great America, resulting in the temporary name change of the roller coaster to Cubs Thunder.

Fun fact: this roller coaster is identical to a roller coaster built two years earlier. It's located in PowerPark, the largest amusement park in Finland.
Interesting layout .I like how some of the action takes place in the station area giving those waiting a preview of things to come ! Thanks for posting .
finland has a clone of this called Thunderbird, and i had no clue that one was a clone of this
Isnt this the clone since powepark is from 2006 and this is from 2008
Non-stop from the drop!! Love this ride!
People say it running slow, but it still makes wildcat look like a slug. If it is running slow it’s probably because that squeaky wheel needs more oil
ran fast and scary yesterdays did the boss...
Just rode it today I go every other week idk what they just did but it’s picked up at least 5-8 mph it absolutely blasts through every element and floats you through every hill
I must say that I have never heard a GCI squeak like this coaster. Time for some grease Six Flags.
When did you ride it? I just rode it 4 times today it felt very solid no squeaks
@@SqueakyASSfardd I work the front gates. I'm going May 7 with my crew
@@DougieRay hell yeah I’m over at the park pretty much every weekend lol i come over from Illinois 😂
@@SqueakyASSfardd Sweet.
@@SqueakyASSfardd let’s get together y’all and ride every ride in one day!
American thunder is most under-rated ride in the whole park!
Solid GCI
my first ever roller coaster
Elite GCI
I know you visited this park and World of Fun while you were in Missouri but what about Silver Dollar City?
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to on this trip! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it sometime in the in the future.
@@coastercrutchfield That's unfortunate. I was really hoping for videos of Thunderation and Time Traveler.
i guess I am kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Jett Dorian I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Alijah Rudy yup, have been watching on FlixZone for years myself =)
I been on that
I prefer CCI and the Gravity Group’s airtime-filled out and back layouts to this, but GCI has some good lateral tricks up their sleeve.
CCI and GCI are literally the same company minus 1 or 2 guys, like one guy angered a bunch of people so they left and made the same company under a new name.
Great coaster, not international.
This is like the Iron Rattler in Fiesta Tx
This thing terrifies me
I kinda agree with that statement but almost all wooden coasters are like this one.
@@AlexRizzyeven the mine train is scary
@@Faregameishere I went to six flags today and road everything the mine train wasn’t that bad mainly for kids
Solid GCI
What that men
