==History==
Kentucky Kingdom opened on May 23, 1987, leasing at the Kentucky Exposition Center property. The Texas investors who operated the park filed it for bankruptcy after only one season of operation.〔 The Ed Hart-led Themeparks LLC firm purchased the rights to operate the park in 1989, reopening the park the following year.〔 As part of the reopening the new operators added a collection of new rides including ''Thunder Run,'' which opened in August 1990. Early in ''Thunder Runs operating life, its train had derailed from the lift hill and the ride's lap bars were found to be unsafe. No injuries were reported from either incident. The original ride was retracked by Martin & Vleminckx prior to its closure in 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.martin-vleminckx.com/mva_web_3_027.htm )〕
''Thunder Run'' operated until the end of the 2009 season on October 31. Amid a corporate bankruptcy, on February 4, 2010, Six Flags announced the park would cease operations immediately due to the rejection of an amended lease by the Kentucky State Fair Board. Many attempts were made to reopen the park under new operators. Eventually, on June 27, 2013, a group of investors led by Ed Hart negotiated an agreement to reopen the park. The group would spend $36 million to reopen the park in May 2014. ''Thunder Run'' would be part of the opening day lineup of attractions. Rocky Mountain Construction was hired to refurbish the ride, resulting in the existing wooden track to be replaced. On October 10, 2013, Kentucky Kingdom invited members of the media and amusement industry to ride the refurbished ''Thunder Run''. The ride reopened to the public on May 24, 2014.〔
