Top Thrill Dragster
 

Tizbad and I went to Cedar Point yesterday, and I finaly got to ride that beast, MAN what a rush! If your going, wait for the front seat, it's worth it. We rode it twice, once front once second. the front was a lot better. BTW did we decide on a date for OSO day yet?

WEEEEO That ride is great!!!!!!! :D Yes what date are we going to do a OSO day at the point?

This must be a roller coaster.

Have you ever tried sitting in the last row? In the front, I feel like the rest of the cars are holding back from allowing us to go down the slope. In the back, the rest of the cars pull you over the hump and down the slope. You start to accelerate while your still approaching the crest of the hill. I find getting whipped over the crest of the drop is strange and heart stopping.

It's techically a roller coaster, but not in the traditional sense. 0-120 in 4 seconds, straight up 400+ feet to where you just barely make it over the crest, then straight down accelerating back to 120. It's not a long ride, but it's un-friggin-believable.

I have commented on this before and as a lot of you know we dock at CP. The first time we went on it we were like kids running back into line to ride again.
What a totally amazing rush of acceleration, speed and what the @$#$ just happened to me factor!

Very cool, but what does John Force have to say about the ride.

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

"Holy $hit, thats the biggest rush I've ever had that didn't involve the safty safari!"

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

That is the best coster I've been on. The wife was pist that I made her wait for the front but man is it worth the wait. I'll be back this year.

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

I probalby won't boat over there, but if we are going to do an OSO day at The Point, I'd drive there in a heart beat and hook up!!

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

Let's pick a day?

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

You guys are crazy. The corkscrew is as intense as I will go. I am scared to death of heights. 120 on those cars has to be AWESOME.

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

HyperBaja, Ya gotta try this. If ya do you will get right back in line but ya got to do the front seat!!

Re: Top Thrill Dragster
 

HOLY CRAP!!! I'd $hit my pants!!! On the first ride that is then I'd get right back in line!!! :rolleyes:
