 Review of Top Thrill Dragster @ Cedar Point
0 Rating Posted by: tacoking on 7/17/2003 9:37:00 PM
Well, as soon as I rode it I thought this ride was absolutly terrific. I couldnt stop making positive comments about it. But after a couple of years, and going out and experiencing other full length coasters (meaning, ones more than 17 seconds), I realize that 17 seconds was a waste compared to he near 3 minutes of joy I recieve on rides like Montu and the Hulk.

I like the launch, yes, but what a waste of the speed. One stinking top hat? I know there is the whole price tag, but of course Cedar Point only cared about claiming the height and speed record so they just said screw the quality and lets go for some records. That theory worked with the Force, but unfortunatly failed miserably with Top Thrill Dragster. What once was a ten has now fallen to a 7, and may continue to fall.

Where did you sit?
Danny on 7/18/2003 9:01:37 AM said:
I dont care how long the line is, Im waiting for the front row
Red Rascal on 7/18/2003 10:44:07 AM said:
Thats what I did. I said to myself, if I waited this long, it should be for the best seat.
tacoking on 7/18/2003 12:52:21 PM said:
I think I sat in the third row. I loved this ride.
zjohn1988 on 7/18/2003 3:34:16 PM said:
i had row 2, but an employee told everyone what row to go to so i couldnt get row 1
Red Rascal on 7/18/2003 5:48:18 PM said:
Thats strange, they didnt do that when I was there.
Rockstar18 on 7/19/2003 11:49:18 AM said:
I rode 2nd to last seat and wait 15 minuets.
zjohn1988 on 7/19/2003 8:24:11 PM said:
waited 15 minutes to get on or 15 minutes for that row?
Rockstar18 on 7/20/2003 11:52:33 PM said:
15 minuets to get on completely.
zjohn1988 on 7/21/2003 4:04:06 PM said:
thats amazing. what time u get in line?
Raptor on 7/21/2003 4:05:02 PM said:
When Top Thrill Dragster is running smoothly, the line moves very fast. If the queue line is full and its running right with no fallbacks, youll only wait about an hour. This is because of the rides clockwork operation - as soon as one train hits the brakes, the next one is revving up, ready to launch.
zjohn1988 on 7/21/2003 4:26:08 PM said:
thats good
Rockstar18 on 7/21/2003 6:30:59 PM said:
i rode around 4, no wait at all. i was so happy.
tacoking on 7/22/2003 10:22:36 AM said:

bista on 7/22/2003 5:59:57 PM said:
I rode in the front seat at night and it was indeed the most awesome roller coaster experience.
Danny on 7/22/2003 6:30:49 PM said:

And youve never been there?
Danny on 7/24/2003 11:40:44 AM said:
Nope.
Red Rascal on 7/24/2003 12:46:24 PM said:
Thats a shame. DL is a great park.
Danny on 7/24/2003 3:54:47 PM said:
Keep in mind I didnt really like coasters until a couple years ago. I didnt really want to go until last year, but I didnt have time.

Worlds of Adventure. Youve never been there before?
Rockstar18 on 7/30/2003 7:01:14 PM said:
nope
Red Rascal on 7/30/2003 8:45:56 PM said:
When you go, dont expect much out of the park. It has many coasters, but half of them are any good.
BobFunland on 7/31/2003 2:33:18 PM said:
I was reading was wondering- does TTD operate 2 trains?
Red Rascal on 7/31/2003 3:43:54 PM said:
No, it operates 5.
Rockstar18 on 8/1/2003 6:56:14 PM said:
it has 2 stations but operates i think 6 trains big red, might be 5
Red Rascal on 8/1/2003 7:34:01 PM said:
It has 6, but I think only five can be on at a time, I might be wrong. If they used six, they might have a stacking problem.
BobFunland on 8/1/2003 11:29:47 PM said:
Thats a lot- it sounds like it could be effecient, but sometimes I hear that people have lengthy waits in line- whats up with that? To me, it would be hard to operate 5 or 6 trains at a time on a coaster that is only, what, 14 seconds?
Red Rascal on 8/2/2003 9:12:29 AM said:
It has two stations along with an exit platform that can handle a few trains.
BobFunland on 8/2/2003 12:49:30 PM said:
Thats pretty cool: I cant wait to ride it (next summers coaster excursion)
Rockstar18 on 8/2/2003 4:44:51 PM said:
jrhanek, i waited 15 minuets for it. The longer waits seem to happen when it breaks down
BobFunland on 8/2/2003 7:11:15 PM said:
Thats amazing to me because Ive waited longer than that for mediocre coasters- Ive even waited that long when I had a fastlane type pass!!
Rockstar18 on 8/3/2003 1:55:12 AM said:
well they only let a certain number of people in the queue at a time, due to break downs. ater each successful launch they let a train full in. i had like no wait. when you break the the left and get in the 2nd station, wait is less there.

I also went with a seven on my first ride so I totally get the new score.
