Thunderbolt Mountain Coaster (POV) [4K] - Berkshire East

The Thunderbolt Mountain Roller Coaster is a mountain coaster located at Berkshire East, in Charlemont, Massachusetts. When it opened, it was the longest mountain coaster in North America (the Outlaw Mountain Coaster in Steamboat Springs, Colorado now hold that record). From my experience, this is certainly one of the best and the wildest mountain coaster in New England, and I would say it is my personal favorite that I have ridden so far.

Berkshire East is a ski area located in Charlemont, Massachusetts, which is located in the Berkshire Mountains in the Western part of the state. It is a small, independently owned ski area, and has some hardcore followers. Many consider it to be one of the best ski areas in Massachusetts. Many people come to Berkshire East, looking to get the Vermont skiing feel, but without driving as far, therefore, Berkshire East is popular with those from both the Boston, New York, and Philadelphia Metro Areas. Berkshire East is also under the same ownership as fellow independent Massachusetts (and New York) ski area, Catamount.

In the summer Berkshire East, and the town of Charlemont, are home to a mountain coaster, whitewater rafting, whitewater kayaking, a bike park, multiple zip line courses, and more.
