it was weighing the coaster down...a lot of times it slowed the ride down..causing it to get stuck at the top...or go to the top, only to fall back down into the pit station again...been on it when it fell back down...pretty fun..plus they shoot u up again lol
That is sorta true, but not quite. The racing wheels on the back of the train were actual racing wheels, not mock-ups. Thus, they weighed like real wheels. Also, the axles on them didn't prevent them from rotating, and the rotational forces on the wheels were not taken into consideration when the themeing was installed. Because of the forces on the wheels due to wind and vibration, one of the wheels actually sheared off from the axle and luckily bounded underneath Iron Dragon, causing no harm.
yeah thats actually true. it has been said on coasterimage, where a photo of the TTD wheel had been taken, and the guy explained how it fell of into the river..
nooo u have2 ride it im tellin u there is nothing scary about this ride...it is just fun...i was soo scared at first but after i we shot up the hill i put my hands up and u dont even feel nothing when you go down...im tellin u ride this lol
yeah, predominantly it was of 2004, with some 2003 mixed in. When I finished it, and the next year rolled around (2005), I went back and shot some of the same footage again and reinserted those shots into the 2004 project.
Wooooooo nooooooo rodster Kinda ka is like sooooooooooooooo much more higher! I have a neihbor who goes on every time she's there at six flags and it is much more higher she's upsest with it!
Kingda Ka is actually only 36ft higher ans 8mph faster. I have ridden both, and in all honesty, you can not tell your 36,ph higher, and the speed feels the same (a blur). But TTD is much smoother and has the much better restraint system (lap bars only). KK smashed my head into the OSR foing down the twist :(
woah...woah...just...OMG THAT IS THE COOLEST TOP THRILL DRAGSTER VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN!!! 5/5 + favorite! I LOVE THIS RIDE! I've been in the front!!!! It's SOOOO AWESOME!
i think kingda ka would look cooler if it was done up like top thrill dragster, but then it would be weird because of the surroundings. the green's getting old.
kinda is about 35ft higher and 8mph faster but i think kinda ka is more safer because top thrill only has a lap bar and k.k has something around your shoulders to keep you back.
TTD has a 2-lock system. At first ... (Don't know this Word, I'm german xD), then you close the lap bar. By the way, Six Flags has totally unsafely rides!
You sure are good at filming and timing. Looks really professional even though I like the "Top Thrill Dragster 2005" version but what do I know about rollercoasters?
we never get good rides like this in england the only good ride ive been on is the pepsi max in blackpool check it out its like our biggest rollercoaster =)
also thorpe park is one of europes best theme parks like the collosus which was or still the most rollercoaster with 10 loops or sumin like tht so..... we do have gd rides in england lol
Yes, it has rolled back probably hundreds of times. I have been on one roll back back in September 2004. What a rush. You get a 2nd launch out of it at least.
Your editing capability and camera angles are exactly what we look for from our videographers. Do you work for your yourself or is this something you enjoy doing for entertainment purposes??

When was this? During a test run, at the top of the hill or coming down? Just curious, you seem to know quite a bit about it. Smart person.
