Somewhat revised review - No longer my favorite ride in the park (Thanks Maverick), mostly because of it's length. This is the shortest yet tallest ride in the park. On to the review - I remember waiting in line and thinking that I'm crazy for going on this monster. Just waiting for the launch, you can feel the sweat start accumulating all over your body. You think, "What wrong choices did I make to end up here..." The launch, although less than four seconds long, feels like it lasts forever. It's incredible how powerful it is. Because the speed takes you back so much, the lift up the hill is less intimidating than it would be on a normal coaster. When you start cresting the top of the hill, the chance of a rollback never leaves the back of your mind, and makes it that much more exciting. Please do yourself a favor and take a look around once you get to the top of this mammoth, because the view is incredible. The drop happens almost too quickly, but is still an experience on it's own. Maybe the best thing about Top Thrill, is the accomplished feeling it seems like people have after they ride it. Maverick, Raptor, and even Millenium don't give people the same satisfaction. This next statement may be obvious, but it's a must ride at Cedar Point. Still #2, only behind Maverick.
