Top Thrill Dragster is the first thing you see as you enter the cedar point parking lot, it looms in the distance staring you down, and from the moment you set your eyes on it you want to ride it. Once you get up close to Dragster you realized just how fast and tall it really is. As you stare at the train waiting to be launched you realized how nerve wracking it is you'.re waiting and waiting, you'.re trying to brace yourself for the inevitable thrill that awaits you but somehow one cannot prepare for the launch on dragster. Even the tallest and strongest men sit at the christmas tree launch breathing heavily scared as even the youngest child on the ride. Personally i suggest swallowing and looking straight forward at the christmas light and wait for the train to roll back a bit. The you know the launch is a few seconds away. Now..to the actual experience. You'.re hearts racing, palms sweaty and you'.re extremely nervous as the three orange light quickly light up then the green one follows and you'.re whole body is sucked back into you'.re seat, the ".butterflies". in you'.re stomach are almost unbearable and the thrill is unlike any other. It feels like it lasts for ever but uts only 3.8 seconds. After the launch comes the top hat, you ascend it at literally 120 mph and are pushed back into you'.re seat even more. Then as you rush toward the sky you see nothing but blue sky and white clouds. By now you'.re having the time of your life and are screaming at the top of your lungs. Your whole body is then thrown to the side as you turn 90 degrees and reach the peak of Top Thrill Dragster at an astonishing 420 feet. You stare DOWN on Millenium Force and try to take in the absoluely gorgeous view that you'.re treated to at the top. But just about a second later you free fall from 420 feet and spiral out of control as your whole body is ripped to the side, this 90 degree drop is amazingly intense it feels like a free fall. Now the end of the fall comes and the you are pushed back into your seat with INCREDIBlE force. On my first ride my back wasnt up againts the seat because of my posture on the free fall so instead of being pushed back my back was pushed down, it wasn'.t at all painful but just watch out fot that. Over all top thrill dragster is unlike any thing i'.ve ever experienced, the launch was so intense that if it were longer it would almost be too intense. The coaster is just right, a mix of everything packed into a short 17 second ride. But overall I couldn'.t have cared less if it were a 5 second ride, that thrill is unlike any other!
