Top Thrill Dragster @ Cedar Point Stuck at Top, May 25, 2009

[LouieLouieWWE1]

Every time it has gotten stuck it was on the 24th or 25th day of the month.

[pmontopoli2807]

Kid: I'm scared, What if it gets stuck at the top? Dad: Don't be silly it won't get stuck at the top. (20 seconds later) Kid: Who's talking now?

[mattjonesable]

we can keep this from happening by making fat people sit in the back

[MsShelbyLoveYou]

Hahah it was fun

[guitarshop40]

i am so jealous of them. i'm going on wednesday, so hopefully it gets stuck

[jdodd82]

i would have shit my pants.

[Esmeeponys]

haha

[darkm00nitalian1]

It doesnt get stuck to often but has more then 3 times its just not recorded everytime and tends to rollback alot actually i witnessed it twice during testing

[dragondeth48]

Lol they were on TOP of TOP thrill dragster...

[MFRoosy16]

in order to put a end to this. they need Wheel launchers at the top like mr. freeze.

I love that ride but i have a really stupid sounding question. Would it go if the people on the train worked together and threw all their weight to the front of the train?? I know its a really stupid question but can someone plz reply??

[NovaFT2]

@blackhart101

I would think that it would work but apparently not. I think that since the cars weigh so much that the passenger weight is fairly insignificant, I might be wrong though.

[blackhart101]

@NovaFT2 im not saying your wrong but how would the mechanics push it over if it weighed so much?

[bennnyboy1231]

@blackhart101 they are proberly strong and the riders had to rock

[blackhart101]

@bennnyboy1231 oh ok now i get it

[RCT3rox]

@NovaFT2 I think the weight does matter, since it seems to effect the "roll-backs". If a few light cars are launched, then a heavy car might not make it since the launch adjusted itself to the light cars.

[zoeylilcuds]

@blackhart101 i was thinkin the same exact thing

[BillieJoesGirl01]

@blackhart101 The daragster only stops when the emergency breaks kick in because of wind. Therefore, if all of the people used their weight, nothing would happen.

[MrImmuno]

i was front seat on this train :-D

[funnybone16]

going on it on monday

[Ashyneko]

fuck that id cry for mummy! rofl!

[7899bubby]

that would be SSSSSSOOOOOOOO much fun to be in the front seat!!!!!!!

[Oaksparrow]

I know a sad thing..

tear

it

down.

[applemaster1313]

whoa ive never seen it stall but i have seen it rollback like the excelerator at knotts berry farm... but that ride is super fun!

[Spazbo3]

that would suck major DICK, but then it would be awesome because what if it just goes backwards or forwards at any given moment, cause that would be the best thrill ride ever

[NY10909]

the best is when it doesnt make it over and goes backwords, you get to ride it 2ce without waiting in line!

[watermelonorange]

That would be fun until the thunderstorm came.

[BaseballNum5]

I went the day after that and we went right through a cloud at the top.

[CharlesStudios]

WOW, stalls are rare at Cedar Point, TTD stalled on June 24, 2005, October 28, 2008, and May 25, 2009

[sniygley]

when i got my rollback on opening day this season, we stalled at the top for about 15 seconds, it was AWESOME!

[christenstjohn]

that is H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E.!!!!!!1

[CoryIRL]

It's actually scary... I was on one that got stuck for about 10 seconds, then went to a rollback. It was scary being stuck in the front seat at the top for 10 seconds... Anyone being stuck on that must've felt one of the following: scared, excited, or not feeling anything because they fainted.

[rollerghost615]

lol

[sammaster60]

i wonder what it would be like, sitting up there (420ft) for 15 minutes then being pushed down by three technicians. :)

[NovaFT2]

Yeah, I rode the first ride on TTD that morning.

[barichm0]

I went to Cedar Point on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 -- less than a week before this occurred.

That day, among other rides, I rode Top Thrill Dragster 3 times.

[MyLifeRules76]

Oh snap!!
