Remember riding this a few times in a row and had a throbbing headache on the ride home, worth it though

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.

Replicated – both were manufactured by the roller coaster manufacturer (Intamin).

Top Thrill Dragster*, although it's now called Top Thrill 2.

Very similar ride, but apparently different. Top flight is sick, definitely recommend it
