History:

  • 2020/2021: In the off-season parts of the original "Topper Track" (as wood) were replaced by "IBox Track" (as steel). The amount of rail replaced was 2,160 feet, according to a parking officer. This is 57% of the Lightning Rod's total 3800 feet of track. As most of the track and especially the record breaking areas (Lift Hill / Drop) have been switched from wood to steel, the type has also been changed to reflect this. The "Model" "Topper Track" remains as this field is based on how the track was built and does not reflect any changes.
