It is the first suspended looping roller coaster to ever be built in Muskegon, Michigan. Thunderhawk has a maximum height limit of . The ride is built on top of man-made land that is right on Adventure Lake. ==History== Thunderhawk opened in 1998 at the pre-Six Flags Geauga Lake amusement park under the name ''Serial Thriller'' and had an on-ride photo camera. The ride was constructed over what was previously marshland along the shores of Geauga Lake and sat on a small man-made island. To keep this small island dry, a pump was built near the ride's entrance. Much of the track and supports were built right over the water. The ''Serial Thriller'' was kept through the Six Flags era until Cedar Fair Entertainment Company purchased Geauga Lake in 2004. The ride's name was changed to Thunderhawk and the on-ride photo camera was removed. In 2007, on-ride video cameras were installed on the ride. On September 21, 2007, Cedar Fair announced that Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom would no longer operate as a traditional amusement park, and instead become solely a waterpark, Wildwater Kingdom. On October 2, 2007, Michigan's Adventure announced that Thunderhawk would be relocated to its park under the same name. During construction of Thunderhawk in January, Michigan's Adventure repainted the track red in order to differentiate the ride from its previous home, and to ensure that it looked new. The park also replaced all of the padding and restraints on Thunderhawk's trains in order to maintain the new color scheme and improve the ride experience. Michigan's Adventure also added full length ride DVDs available for purchase by riders.〔http://www.miadventure.com/th_con_jan.shtml Construction Photos, accessed on 1-29-2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thunderhawk (Michigan's Adventure)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
