WOW! What a ride, 120mph, 420' up and down. I just wonder what they will do next! Line moves fast, but the ride only lasts about 17 seconds.<br /><br />The Millinium Force looked awesome standing higher than the rest of the rides, now the Top Thrill Dragster dwarfs it.<br /><br />If you never been to Cedar Point, it is worth checking it out. Been to lots of other parks, but this one in my opinion is the best!

The latest Consumer Reports lists the Millennium Force as one of the top six coasters in America. 300+ feet tall and 93 MPH. That other one must be a real screamer.

You can see it here www.cedarpoint.com . It is one wild ride. There is even grand stands to spectate from. The launch is awesome, something like 120 in 4.5 seconds! The lines today were 4 hr waiting time.

Top Thrill Dragster features an extraordinary 420-foot-tall first hill at a 90-degree incline, speeds of 120 mph over 2,800 feet of track, and a twisting first drop of 400 feet at an imposing 90-degree angle. Termed a "strata-coaster" for its monumental height, Top Thrill Dragster is the first and only roller coaster in the world to break the towering 400-foot-tall milestone.
