Today I am going to review the
popular roller coaster, Top Thrill Dragster. This coaster is located at Cedar
Point in Sandusky, Ohio. What makes this
coaster so great is its height and speed. At one point, this was the tallest
and fastest roller coaster in the World. Top Thrill Dragster stands at 430 feet
tall and goes a whopping 120 mph in less than four seconds! You have to see it to believe it.
What I
love so much about this ride is that it truly goes along with its dragster
theme. Once on the ride, you pull up to the launching zone where there is racetrack
starting lights just like at a real drag racing event. Along the right side of
the dragster car there are bleachers with spectators sitting, waiting for you
to launch. To me, this point is the scariest part of the ride. You are waiting
for what feels like hours at this launch pad before you are get shot 120 mph.
The ride
lasts about 17 seconds, but in my opinion, you don’t realize where you are till
about the 10th second due to the speed. The ride length is
disappointment along with the wait time. This ride boasts a long line always and if the
line becomes too long, you might not even get to ride. The reason is because
this ride is very unreliable. It is breaking down constantly and allows for
longer waits.
My
final opinion on this roller coaster is that I do recommend riding it. I think
it takes the right person to ride it because it really is a scary roller
coaster. I give it 8 out of 10 on overall quality of the ride. Go check it out
and tell me what you think of Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point.
