If he have been on a megalite then I will respect his opinion, otherwise meh..
I have had the chance to ride both the megalite and Lightning Run. My personal opinion is that I like Lightning Run better. I rode in the back seat. Wow! The first two drops are epic. All of the elements come at you quicker than the megalites. There is airtime everywhere and it's ejector air. A nice surprise is the twisting airtime hill prior to the S-curves.
Joe Draves, Ride Centerline, Chance and Kentucky Kingdom have a winner on their hands. Besides Lightning Run, the park looked beautiful and Thunder Run is running better than I have ever remembered it.
As far as operations, it was taking the staff about 5 minutes to dispatch trains. Large people and tall people were having difficulties with the restraints. The bars may lock on people, but It has to reach a certain point for the sensors to trigger. So they were spending way too long on each lap bar. Most trains had at least 3 to 4 guests having difficulties.
