Thunder Road was a Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters wooden roller coaster located at Carowinds in Charlotte, North Carolina. The ride was a racing roller coaster, featuring two individual tracks that paralleled each other. The design of the ride was based upon Rebel Yell, another wooden racing coaster at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia.

The coaster was built across the Carolinas state line. The coaster began in South Carolina and then crossed into North Carolina on one side. The other side began in North Carolina and then crossed into South Carolina. 

It was announced on May 23, 2015 on Carowinds' Twitter that Thunder Road would close on July 26, 2015.

Thunder Road was demolished in August 2015, and the land it occupied used for an expansion of Carowinds' water park, Boomerang Bay, which was renamed Carolina Harbor.
