Super Coasters: Top Thrill Dragster (cedar point)

[mike398100]

well jet engines obviously would work better

[AMAmotocross9]

KK doesnt have the same anticipation factor that TTD does, like the starting lights instead of a boring 3-2-1 countdown. I think that alone makes it more popular. I dont think people notice a few MPH or extra 15 feet difference too much.

[gun714thc]

@AMAmotocross9 Very true.... Its not all about the specs. Its also about the experience!!

[Davygotabutt]

@AMAmotocross9 and everybody, kdk is 456 feet tall and dragster is 420, do the math. and to me, anticipation means nothing, the rides are basically the same so stop hating king da ka because you go on dragster more.

[PaRIOT67]

kingda ka beat that ride already :]

[RenegadeSquirrels]

@PaRIOT67 Which was a dick move. Cedar point got 420 feet, they went 15 fucking feet higher. They're the same dam ride.

[bobthedistroyer]

real top fuel dragsters accelerate to 100mph in less that a second

[beatleszilla]

To end all controversey withe Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster.They are both built by Intamin so Kingda Ka is not a copy. They are both stratacoasters. The only way I can say which is better is with ratings, so that would be TTD because it is much higher in the ratings. I don't to upset KK fans. KK is a great ride, but TTD is just . . . better.

[josh19852008]

@beatleszilla They are a copy dude! Cedar Point comes up with the ideas. Then someone goes just a little above it. It happens every time. Cedar Point hands down best in the world for rides. They severely lack on other areas though.

@MrEnderdragon Actually, KK uses hydraulics while TTD uses that catapult system in the video.

[rktinc]

@AarontheEpicLBT They both use the same Hydraulically powered catapult system

[coasterking789]

kingda ka is way better. and taller. and faster.

[Traceeos]

this may perhaps be the greatest invention yet! riding something able to wear flip flops HOLY SHIT THATS GREAT

[TheMamamahoney]

it isnt scary just fun

[xisopwnyoux]

all of this mechanic talk makes me not want to go on this in 2 years

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

3:17 <---ITS KINGDA KA NOT TOP THRILL!! look at the tack it has the extra hill like kingda ka.

[linkman2010]

@TheCrazyCoasterKid kingda ka has shoulde ristraints so its a combo of boath

[MrEnderdragon]

@TheCrazyCoasterKid

This was probably made after Kingda Ka came out, so they're using a animated blueprint to show-off how the hydraulic system works.

[xXsuperhuntieXx]

@MrEnderdragon Ya but TTD was built and released in 2003 kingda ka: 2005, see six flags coppied though...

[MrEnderdragon]

@xXsuperhuntieXx

It's not a copy, Dragster does not have a second hill. How can you copy something if they're not physically the same in build, height and design?

[xXsuperhuntieXx]

@MrEnderdragon But still, they could of. Its all the same just a little higher and they added a little hill. So?
