The best Ride I ever rode. It was tall and Tight. There is Nothing like reaching 120 mph in just 4 seconds. The height is awesome. I love the height. You wait in line for 4 hours to experience a 25 second ride. People would say it is not worth the wait, but it is. There is nothing like a 420 foot Vertical Drop. Its worth the wait. You first rollout to the Dragster Lights. There is a Grandstand so People can watch (like at Real Dragster Races). The Light turns green after blinking through yellow and you go from 0-120 mph in just 4 seconds you go straight up 420 feet you start to slow down at the top then you have just about a couple secods to scream before going straight down and into a spiral. It is a 420 foot Vertical Drop. GET OUT TO THE PARK AND RIDE IT.

This ride is easily the best in the world. The rush you experience on this ride cannot be described.

It was an amazing ride. You just cant describe how incredible this ride is. The look on riders faces as the trains fly into the breaks say it all! What a rush!!!

Wow 120 mph is quite fast lol. Before my friend and I were about to go in it we were debating whether to put our hands up at the launch. We were waiting for the first car so the ride operator told us not to because putting your hands up in Ohio is a law. We were a little hesitant because of the fact of the intense launch maybe our shoulders would go out of socket. We ended up putting our arms up at launch with our hands vertical and flat for air resistence and oh boy was it crazy. I have rode it twice and I will rode it a ton more. People who critic the lenght who care is 17 more intense seconds than u will find anywhere else.

It looks awesome. The height is truly incredible. The launch is intense. The only thing that disappointed me was the way it slowly went over the hill. On Hypersonic or Xcelerator, you rocket up and over the hill - getting huge airtime in the process. On TTD, you slowly go over the crest with no airtime at all.

The descent was great. Spiraling downward. Me and the guy next to me (some stranger) both lifted our arms for the descent, but quickly grabbed the seat handle as the thing started spiraling.

There were frequent mechanical problems when I visited. I waited about 40 minutes. Definitely my longest wait of the entire day.

Seat selection was allowed. Two trains come into the station at a time. They are both loaded and then both go to the launch area simultaneously. You sit on the track with the sound of revving dragster engines blaring and the anticipation builds. The launch is like a rocket. Cameras take photos during launch and coming over the hill, giving a cool dual perspective photo.

The station is beautiful. It is modeled after a grandstand. It looks great at night. A grandstand is placed along the launch track and folks just hang out watch riders scream there heads off.

Its a 20 second ride, but the unexpected benefit of this ride is that Millennium Force now seems like a longer ride than it is.

TTD is a good exciting ride, but it is not, IMO, a better rollercoaster than some of the great mega and gigas out there. Its a thrill - not a "coaster".

Amazing, best one yet. Could not believe I went 420 feet in the air. Worth any wait. It was soooo fun.
