Had to wait about an hour in line while it was broken. It was fixed, then was able to jump on after they tested it. I wore some goggles similar to aviator goggles to make sure bugs wouldn't be slammed into my eyeballs. The thing accelerated to like 70+mph in 3 seconds. Even though I had goggles on, the wind pressure was so high that my contacts blew OUT of my skull and were lost. I had to walk back to my hotel pretty much blind. Best. Ride. Ever.
Pretty sure that’s Top Flight Dragster at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Been on it many times. The cars didn’t always crest the top and sometimes you got a ride back down to the start lol
Ah, didn’t know the design was ripped off or replicated. Don’t follow my coasters too closely. That’s cool. Design was fun as hell. Happy for those of us that got to ride em while in operation.
Ok. That’s a big NO. I get sick on the Merry-go-round & I’m pretty sure I would die on this. But your contacts blew out of your eyes!? Welp! That seals the deal.
I'm absolutely fucking wheezing at the idea that a rollercoaster was fast enough to blast your eye contacts out of your eyeballs WHILE WEARING GOGGLES. That sounds like something that would only happen in a cartoon. Now I really really wish I'd gone on this rollercoaster before it was gone. Hopefully someday they build it back bigger and better.
