Description: This wooden coaster ascends riders up its 20-story lift hill. At the crest of the hill, riders face twin summit air time hills before tackling the daring first drop. Lightning Rod races down the 165-foot drop and propels Guests along its 3,800-ft. track. The ride exerts 3.5x G-force and 1.0 negative G’s. A lap bar and shin restraint must be engaged at all times. Due to the nature of the restraint system and seat configuration, Lightning Rod may not accommodate Guests of larger stature. These Guests are encouraged to use the test seat prior to entering the ride queue. Riders will encounter strobe-like effects when photographed during the ride
