“Top Thrill Dragster” in the Winter

This coaster is located at Cedar Point and was the highest and fastest until beaten by Kingda Ka in New Jersey. This is a stunning photo taken looking down from the summit. Riders begin their epic journey aboard this whopping 42-story screamer by securing themselves into ultra-cool trains that resemble top fuel dragsters. The train then moves into a “starting line” position, where it is launched forward, reaching 120 mph in approximately four seconds. The train then zooms straight up the 420-foot-tall hill on track that rotates 90 degrees, crests the coaster’s apex and then free falls back to Earth. But hold on, this isn’t your father’s roller coaster. As the train races 400 feet to the ground, the track twists an unbelievable 270 degrees – what a rush! Riders then return to the station to begin regaling their friends with stories of the greatest ride of their lives.
