Buehrle>Wood Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 That rides about 2 or 3 years old now. Let me be the first to say, that video does no justice to the real thing. Seeing it live is unlike any other thing I've seen. It was just so goddam taller than anything in the area. I literally lost my breath watching this thing. Of course, I was too scared to go on it.

sayitaintso Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 How much does it tower over Millenium Force? I know that you could see it from pretty far away, and the dragster is like 100 ft. taller too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only my second time ever going on a roller coaster and my friend decided it would be fantastic if it was the 1st roller coaster of the day(because of the long lines that would form). Holy hell, that's all I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you could see it from pretty far away, and the dragster is like 100 ft. taller too. The Millennium is slightly over 300 feet, and hits 91 mph. The Dragster is over 400 feet, and I believe hits 120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 When I was living in Wildwood, my neighbor and I would ride our motorcycles over to Six Flags and hit all the coasters after work. I love most roller coasters, but that one would have me seriously considering staying on the ground and holding everyone's cell phones and glasses.

The Dragster is over 400 feet, and I believe hits 120. Well it has a speedometer on the side right before you go up. I think it needs to go at least 124mph to go all the way over. Sometimes it doesn't as in my case and you're dropping alll the way back 400 feet which is really scary cas it whips you. They let you have another try if it doesn't go up all the way though. I can't believe I'm more brave than some of the people here. Most roller coasters have me scared s***less.

He_Gawn Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I thought the Millenium Force was better because it lasted longer. But thats just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 We went about about 3 years ago and I thought the M Force was completely off the chain. I can't imagine it getting better. I gotta hit it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I shat myself just watching the video. This roller-coaster gets a big "HELLO NO!" from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What's that one at Great America that looks like a big U? I went on it and was prettty dissappointed. This one looks slightly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxrd5 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I went to Cedar Point about two months ago...we went on every roller coaster. But in typical fashion, the dragstrip ride was 'closed for repair'...this would upset some people, but much like Charlie Brown, I have become unaffected by these small misfortunes along my way.

Texsox Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 One of my favorites of old at Six Flags (then Mariott's Great America) was the Tidal Wave. Same basic concept, blast out of the station, loop and return backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm afraid of heights...so I'll pass. I go on a few, such as The Demon...but nope, this one is not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Gload Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Cedar Point is one of the two good reasons for living in ohio. That and OSU Football. Top Thrill Dragster is the best ride in the park, millenium a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
