I finally got to ride this creature last summer, and it was worth the hour or so wait to experience it. The gut-wrenching, eyeball-spinning, vertigo-inducing launch throws you screaming up the tower, and then sends you racing back to the load platform with a little twist on the way down.

I agree with Robert -- don't blink, or you'll miss the great view at the top.

Top Thrill Dragster and its clones will rate high in the competition this year, I'm sure of it!

Beautiful at night especially because MF is lit up and it looks beautiful! Then look as far out as you can....AMAZING! I LOVE this ride! I have waited up to 2 hours, I heard opening day 2003, up to 9hrs wait. It is worth a bit of a wait!!! I have also heard that TTD is much smoother than Kingda Ka at 6 Flags too!

Go Dragster'!! it will bring the upset.
Even though the ride is about 10 seconds long.. its worth the wait.

I've been going to Cedar Point every year since 2004,been on top thrill over 100 times! I live 3hrs away,lol. My wife and I for Xmas got Platiuem Passes. Summer of 09 we were getting burned out on CP,decided to go to jersey and ride Kinda Kar, had 3 day passes plus stayed at their resort. WHAT A WASTE.kinda da was closed,copied of cp ne ways. My Family had the worst time ever, every ride you rode u had to pay a dollar to use theirs lockers not to mention 4hr waits 4 everything! o ya if ur wernt their when ur locker ticket told u 2 be, it automatically OPEN. My family was sooo upset my wife went to the maneger office and demanded to reinburst us! we checked out of the resort and went to NYC. Now I see why they went bankrupt.... I've been to CP on a 4th of July, waited 2hrs for top thrill! RIDES,STAFF,ROOMS,FOOD WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT CEDAR POINT!

Notice on the POV, while waiting for the ride to launch, the grandstand? There are usually dozens of people sitting there, watching TTD over and over. It's that good! I saw a kid, after getting off the ride, excitedly run over to his mother (who waited in the grandstand)and loudly announce, "That was CARTOON-fast!!".

Although I'm not sure I would put this in my top 15, it is still an absolute blast to ride. 0-120 mph in 4 seconds is indeed an experience that only one other coaster (which is pretty much a clone) can offer.

Was that one post real?

^I asked myself the same question, Derek. I thought it might be a site jokester. I once pretended to be Jake Rivers, returning from the land of wind and ghosts, and got quite the reception.

I'd give this coaster an 8-Commendable, but I find it has more bark than bite. I much prefer Millennium Force and Magnum XL-200. I think that a straightaway at the top section for the purpose of enjoying the view would have improved the ride. You fly so quickly over that hill that I never have time to appreciate the scenery or the upcoming drop.

I'm probably in the minority on this but, I wasn't all that impressed with this coaster. I did ride Millennium Force, my top steel coaster, only like 45 minutes earlier though. I would give dragster like a 6/10

I just realized that's one of my photos and I may have geeked out a little bit inside ;)

While I enjoy Dragster, it's not something that I make a point to ride every time I'm at the park. I love the speed & the rush, but it's just too short of a ride experience for the general wait time. Now, I do take full advantage of my pass and get all my riding in early in the season or on Fridays during Halloweekends when crowds are small. Definitely fun & thrilling, but not a top ride for me.

I love Cedar Point and everything about it! Can't wait until I'm there again!! Sigh, it's only January :( I love Dragster. Every time I ride it, it's a rush! The extra wait time for the front seat is definitely worth it! It really does make a difference when you can see the track, eat some bugs, get sprayed with oil/water combination! Not to mention the ride photo you'll create! Talk about a distorted face! YIKES! Ride On!!!
