 Review of Top Thrill Dragster @ Cedar Point
2 Rating Posted by: coaster05 on 7/26/2005 12:51:00 AM
APPEARANCE-7 Other then its incredible height I dont like how it looks. The paint is really faded, the que is annoying and it sort of looks tacky with the rest of the park. CAPACITY-9 Only the delays keep it from a ten. The trains load quick and CP reputation as the capacity king is still going strong. The way they move riders is just amazing. RIDE QUALITY-6 Way short and you could feel the car slow down before it starts up the hill. I also found the twist to really take away from the drop. On the plus very smooth pretty comfortable, I just liked the opening element of Stormrunner a lot better. FUN-7 Suprisingly not very fun. Sure it offered a thrill, but I am not a thrill lover, I am a coaster lover and this is not really a ride so much as thrill. I am glad I did it, but I definately wanted more. Heck I gave Stormrunner a 9 and that offered a lot more then this. RERIDE-5 I would never wait through that line again on my own, I would have to be with someone who has never rode it and even that would not guarantee me a second trip. I waited 90 minutes which I know is not bad, but I would not do that again. OVERALL-34 AVG-6.8 I will go the 7. I guess here is a little more since I know this review will get raked acroos the coals. It was very fast and kind of exciting, however it had no real fear like some first time rides do, it offered no real fun like MF did when I rerode it. For me it just didnt really excel in any area. I am not surprised by my rating since I live with 4 hours from the park, but this is the first time I have been there since TTD opened. For all those who loved it thats great and I can kind of see why, however for me if this is the future of coasters, I would much rather live in a wood filled past.

I agree that the spiral did take away from the drop.

Oh Bob you know that taller is always better. I do have to admit after riding MF yesterday I am curious as to why it fell so far for you. I like AC better but not the other hypers I have been on.

I just realized that I like hypers more for the negative Gs than for the height and speed, thats all.

"Sure it offered a thrill, but I am not a thrill lover, I am a coaster lover..." That really says it all. If youre going to accept that this is a coaster, then you have to weigh its shortcomings into your rating, and you did a fine job of that, coaster05.

Thanks for just looking at my review not any personal bias. I really wanted to be blown away, but I just wasnt. It is unique and amazingly fast, but I have very little desire to ride again especially with that wait. Now a walk on I would definately try again.

Anonymous you wont get an account. I mean who is afraid to talk smack on the internet. So until you get an account and put up a ride tracker. STFU. You know what phoenix is way slower and smaller then other rides but it is also way more fun. Maybe you need big coaster since you are compensating for something else.
