This really irked me, too... The ride didn't open until 2:30 because of the stupid commercial they were filming. We were all set on running there first thing, and then they told us it wouldn't open 'til mid-afternoon. We almost didn't get to ride it because of time...

I found the actual wording of the sign, too... "Occasionally, a launched train will not clear the hill. You should not be concerned; the train will slowly return to the launch position."

Re: Top Thrill Dragster was awesome!

For what it's worth, beginning in Spring 2005, people seeking the tallest, fastest ride on Earth will have to visit the lovely Garden State to ride Kingda Ka, Six Flags Great Adventure's newest coaster.

It accelerates to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds and climbs 456'. The second hill is taller than most roller coasters in the park at 129'.

Hmm.. this may mean another long roadtrip to Jersey sometime in the future for me to check this out.

Re: Top Thrill Dragster was awesome!

No matter how hard anyyy Six Flags tries, none of thier rollercoasters will ever top Cedar Point. My sixflags is trying to make it look or try to be Cedar Point because there building a water park and new coasters just like Cedar Piont has. Cedar Point is the best. Even if Six Flags is going to have the fastest or tallest ride there, it wont beat Cedar Point. Someday ill have to check out this new ride in Garden State.

Re: Top Thrill Dragster was awesome!

I'd have to say my favorite roller coaster is Kraken at Sea World in Orlando.

Re: Top Thrill Dragster was awesome!

TTD is my new favorite coaster, more like an experence, but still, I love it. But for the complete package, I think Millennium Force and RocknRollercoaster top that list.
