Poll of the Day > Any of you here have ever gone on Top Thrill Dragster at cedar point?

(+) Yeah! (+)

if you haven't, it's too late now. It's closing forever. News today

No; the last time I went it wasnt even built yet.

No big loss. That ride was perpetually broke (at least the first few years, iunno how much they improved down the line) and had various incidents over the years, and was largely a gimmick that wasn't worth the wait.

do you feel the same way about kingda ka ?

I never really been big on thrill rides. The only big park attractions I like are waterpark stuff like lazy rivers and water slides.

I'm not as aware of the history of it, but it's essentially the same approach so I'd imagine I'd feel similarly.

It didn't help that when the Dragster was first opened you had 4-8+ hr waits (it constantly broke down) for a sub minute ride where you just get thrust up a hill, go down a hill, and then go that was all? Speed is fun and all, but I'd prefer a longer ride where the track does more than just one quick gimmick.

Yep. Earlier in the 00s.
