It's called the Thunderbolt Mountain Roller Coaster, and it's incredibly unique, as you're in your own car for one or two people and can actually control the speed. You're free to zoom crazy fast or make it a more leisurely ride as you weave in and out of the forest canopy while feeling that crisp, New England air.  According to the website, the best way to think about this mountain coaster is "alpine slide meets roller coaster."

It's designed with swooping turns, banked corners, rolling drops, and 360° turns. Each cart is equipped with its own braking system, allowing you to slow speeds to a comfortable pace or accelerate to G-Force inducing levels.

This mountain roller coaster is at the Berkshire East Mountain Resort in the town of Charlemont, nestled in the Massachusetts region of the Berkshires.
