This ride soars with MF above all other competition. Before my story Id just like to thank and praise Intamin AG for being the gods of roller coaster designing, and second, I have to wonder, why there arent other giga and strata coasters popping up anywhere else, becuz these things are the way to go. Back to the review tho.....Id been at CP two days prior to the day I got on it, and was very down that it hadnt been working either day. So on the third and final day of our trip, we decided to do the beach adn water park, that was fun, and I had almost forgotten my dissapointment when Dragster started testing again at about 6:45 while we were in the water park. Then 5 minutes later there was a tester on it. Then five minutes later there was a full load. Needless to say, me and my friends sprinted to are cars for are money and then ran to the ride. We got in line at about 7. We waited about 10 minutes, and then it broke down. Then we waited, and waited, and waited, until 9:15, when my mom came ovre to the line. Then she waited with us for about half an hour. Finally she gave up and said she was going to get her money back, because she had been guaranteed a ride. Me and two of my friends went with her, but one of my friends (Demonrules) stayed inline. We got to the guest relations and we got a comments sheet. Then we decided wed try to catch one last ride on MF. It was about 5 til so we began to run. Then I saw TTD testing again, I knew it would open. I took off at a dead sprint from the guest relations office to TTD. Im guessing thats about an 800 meter run, and I think I prolly ran it in about a 2:00.(If your not in track, that is very good for a sophomore in highschool in track) Plus I was in sandals. All I know is that I ran with a vigour that Ive never ran with before. I finally got to my friend standing inline. I was out of breath, so I just stood there a little while. Then we saw it test a couple more times empty. Finally there was a full train, and a few minutes later we were let in. We were walked up to a nearly empty station, and then we got into a line. We were third in line, and after a few delays we got on. Now the ride is just out of this world. U role out of the station and sit on the starting positoin for a while as u hear engies revving. Then u see the brakes drop and the lights on the tower drop. Now u launch, and boy o boy do u launch. U go faster and faster amd fatser. U are simply glued to ur seat. Finally u finish the launch and it feels almost like the ride has broken, becuz it such a loss of acceleration. Then u begin a very rapid climb to the top of the tower. It seems like no time until your on top of the world looking down on Gods green earth. Not only are u 420 feet above the ground though, ur also floating out of ur seat the entire time you are cresting the top, an amazing feeling to say the least. Then u head downward into the spiral. The spiral just makes u feel like you have no control over what is going on around you. It is just chaos. U hit the brakes at the bottom, and the ride is done. Sure its only 17 seconds, but it is 17 seconds of andrenaline junkie nirvana. A must ride, no matter what the wait is, u have to experience this thing. And also be a man and keep your hands up the whole time. It really makes the top and spiral down out of control. Get out and ride this beast!
