m3 is right about the restraints. It's a joke to say that we would ever be real comfortable when we are going at these
speeds, but the over the shoulders on Kingda Ka hurt yet the waste bars on Dragster add to the thrill (especially on the
way back down). If the line had not been 3 hours long, I would have given this one a 2 point better rating. I went
again at night just before they closed. This had a 25 minute wait. WOW, in the dark, what a rush !

Good coaster, the problem is that there is only 30 seconds to the ride.

Like this ride, the only thing that I don't like is that the ride is over in 30 seconds.

I'm sorry, but this, I think, is much better than Kingda Ka. Even though Kingda Ka is higher and faster, this has
restraints that only go over your waste so you feel more free. Kingda Ka has full over shoulder restraints. I haven't
ridden it but it's just my opinion. I hope to ride it some day!

Aha,Top Thrill Dragster, One day I will ride it. I do not wish to compare it to Kingda Ka because both structures have
their advantages and disadvantages. 10/10 on it's structural design.steel traditonal sit-down with a hydraulic launch.
Very nice Strata Coaster :)It has deserved to set those several new records :)!

unlikely as it would quite sharply increase the negative gs over the hat!! airtime may be fun for us, but it would be
uncomfortable for a lot of people. too much neg g can cause red outs n passing out n the such, not gd pr for a
park!!!!one way they could make the launch better would making it faster accelerating. if dodonpa can get to 107 in1.8
s, then im sure this could get to 120 in maybe 2.5??

If they tweeked the booster like with stealth, then apart from reducing rollbacks and increasing air time, it could try
to over take kingda ka in speed,so it's fastest, but ka is highest, doubt that will happen though...

This ride was awesome! The lapbars were amazing and the twist down was so exhilirating. A must ride for anyone who goes
to Cedar Point(I even had to wait 1&1/2 hours in the heat and still loved it. Thats how good it was)

This people, is what Ohio lives for!
I actually went on it for the first time last year, at the end of the ride, one of
the tires were nearly on fire! Althought the wheels are made of nylon, it seemed to melt! It is not as good as Kingda Ka
anymore, i think Kingda ka has much better wheels!

I rated this ride a 6, the only thing this ride had going for it was height and speed, but so much more could have been
done. The launch scared me and the ride was still fun, definitely a must ride if you can.

This ride was quite a bit of fun, but it was too short and unreliable. The launch was just amazing though, and it gets
points for the lapbars!

I ride this every time I go to CP. I managed to get in the park an hour before public (due to staying at a resort
hotel) and had a 10 minute line for it. Awesome!

I really am looking forward to riding this ride. Yeah it does break down a lot but i am looking froward for a roll back
because then you get launched again. They should put something after you go back down to earth but its still good.

I don't get excited that easily, but I was really looking forward to this. The launch was very smooth and sure, and the
climb to the top and the freefall were amazing. Top Thrill Dragster certainly isn't an everyday ride, because every day
it will break down. Be it mechanical problems or bad weather, it's very suceptible to the smallest thing. It's also a
shame that Cedar Point didn't do more after the fall to earth from 420ft. They didn't have to of course, the ride has
done its job by then, but that's a lot of potential gone up in smoke.

Such a great ride even though its short. The speed of this ride is enough to make you dizzy for a week. I thought this
was better than kk.

It's not bad at all. Especially when you get a roll-back. Great ride. The launch, and drop are absolutely insane. One
"Must Ride" coaster at Cedar Point.

V I think your a fecking idiot! How can you say that the 2nd tallest and fastest coaster in the world is crap. Although
I haven't rode it, you could atleast state why its 'fecking crap'.

As PLCP mentioned, it isn't rare to find at least one or two rollbacks in a normal day's operation.

There are normally anywhere from 1-5 rollbacks per day.

Oh thanks, now I got it I can see quite plainly that riders, for the most part, like rollbacks, but how often do they
happen?

A rollback is when a train does not make it over the hill and falls back down to earth backwards. You 'roll' 'back'.

Top Thrill Dragster is not a wast of time. It is worth every moment. Even in 90 degree weather. Thats a FACT.

OMG,Top Thrill Dragster is the BEST roller coaster in the world. But thats my opinion. Anyway, On May 19 2006 i desided
2 ride TTD 4 the first time. Long story short, i got in line 4 the front seat. I waz scared but i did it. when we went
out 2 the lauching area. I waz about 2 cry. But let me tell u the view is spatacular, and awsome. I could not have chose
a better seat.

The monster of Cedar Point's skyline is nothing but a 110% pure adrenaline rush. No matter how many times you have been
on TTD, it always seems to deliver. I'm just happy that it had a great 2006 season and hopefully that was a good omen
that the major problems have been solved.
