this ride tops all rollercosters so ppl dont hate on it .. now i know everybody say the kingda ka or watever its called tops this blah blah blah 6 flags sucks if u notice the bars on that coster are rusting and the paint is chipping now i would ride it if i felt safe but fuck that bitch could go down any second .. cedar point takes care of their rides so its much safer there and also they have the best coolest and awsome rides there so take that six flags
This ride is off the hook!! May and September weekdays, when people are in school and work is the best time to go. Lines were only 15 minutes long. Rode back to back to back. MAY 15, 2010!!
When I went to Cedar Point on the first Sunday of last October, I rode Top Thrill Dragster 10 times -- 2 times in the very front and 8 times in the back. I then found that like on roller coasters in general, I liked riding in the front seat OF THE LAST CAR better. When you ride in the back, you experience far more airtime on the hill. Besides, in any case the ride is better if you look diagonally to the side rather than straight ahead -- it feels like you're like a jetliner on a runway.
If you haven't rode this yet, I would think the scariest part is waiting at that light for your train to take off. I haven't gone on it yet, but I bet the first time, im gonna be sweating like crazy waiting for that light to change.
The light is one of the best things about the ride.. when your sitting in the front row.. you look at the lights and as soon as it starts to go.. your like " oh shit!"

So yea this video gets the honor of my last comment. GOODBYE YOUTUBE,
haha everytime i watch this, i get goose bumps even if i did ride it 3 times, but ummm lol this will be funny people were tlking about how they never seen a old person go on it but my grandpa and grandma did and they are like 6o something, ahah a lot of people were like look at that old man he isnt coming back..
to nollie 8453: They took them off because at a Test Run, one Tire fell off and landed in the "Sea" of Iron Dragon. But kalidawn is right, too. They also took them off to allow more seats in each train. I think, that was a fault because the Trains with Slick-Tires looked way cooler than the Trains without Slick-Tires.
The first time I went to Cedar Point, the tires had already been taken off so I never got to see the tires on it exept in videos. There was also a spoiler on the back too. What happened to that? Same thing as the wheels?
ya they actually gotthe hang of top thrill now. it usually only breaks down in the morning when theyre testing it. i live near sandusky so we go there a lot. CEDAR POINT RULEZ DOOD
i did this it was sick eccespecialy the part were you go up and you get to the top and you get a quick look at the park of course i went on it at 12:30 in the at night and i waited 2 hours sssssssssssssoooooooooooo worth it best rode they got
i noticed that only 2 cars ar running but the 4 cars are only display what are the 4 cars for? cedar point had the perfect choice to put in the name TOP THRILL DRAGSTER
Normaly, all Trains are operating. MAybe the weather wasn't good at that day. TTD is very... Yeah, it can't work so good when the Weather isn't good. Cuz TTD was the first of his kind, so the Machines aren't so modern like Kingda Ka ones.
Oh.... I didn't know that... I thought it's because the System does not work good when it rains. I didn't know that the Raindrops cause so much Pain... hehe
i have to agree, cedar point and TTD beat out all other theme parks and TTD has a better theme with awesome cars, christmas lights, total racing theme from start to finish, themed music, and even a slogan: Top Thrill Dragster- Race for the Sky
OK kingda ka is taller and faster but the dragster beats them all since after you ride the dragster its like wow that was fun but i wanna ride somethin different cedar point has that with the millenium, maverick, and others and what does kk have......... nothin compared to those
yeah i havent riden kingda cuz itll be a waste of money just going there to ride a retarded replica of ttd but i can barley tell millennium is 100 feet lower than ttd so its simple to tell that you wont tell a difference between ttd an kk
okk jazzyforever wayy faster??HA!! technically it is faster but no difference i cant belive america spent 25 million dollars for a replica of ttd that was a waste of money!! i mean if you wanted to go on a fast coaster just keep ttd it has perfect speed and great height no one needs 36 feet higher nd 8 miles per hour faster i dont get it
I dont care who came out with it first, just know that the kingda ka is wayyyyyyyyyyy faster, higher and give you more air time than this ride, I've been on both, and kingda ka is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better! END OF.
you guys say,ohhhkingda ka is a knock off of top thrill,but you know that theyre both desinged and built by the same people?I bet yall didnt know that....
GREAT job on the video! Of course that's just what I need to see, some people practically peeing their pants while waiting for the launch... I hope to ride this in 4 weeks!
Dude you better appreciate this!! lol jk but it did take me like an hour and a half worth of links, keywords, googles, and yahoos when i looked it up for myself about a year ago to find out that the artist is called "Republica" the song is "ready to go" ill email the mp3 to u if u want
Yeah, y'all need to ride Top Thrill Dragster... I managed to get 8 rides on it this season and never waited longer than 40 minutes, and twice I got on in less than 15 minutes... the front row is overrated though... go for the back row, much better and shorter line by far...
Yeah, Dude you have n clue about the ride. (On opening day it took me 16 hours to get on it.) But now it only takes 2 hours on a busy day and sometimes from what i know about CP. Sometimes 20 minutes on a very slow day.
Lol can't wait this summer!

Kingda ka: retraints-boring

kingda ka- has no theme-boring
top thrill:top fuel dragster( fastest cars ever)-th best theme
kingda ka: faster-dont need something 8mhp or 36 feet higher
Top thrill:8mhp slower-perfect speed 36 feet lower-perfect height
patmap123 4 years ago 7
1- Yes lap bars are better
2- Not true, LOTS of people watch you
3- ?!? The place is infested with jungle decorations, bamboo, trees, the trains and station are themed, everything is themed to be like the jungle!
