I have no fear of heights but i fear the g forces may cause whatever remnants of a brain still remain in my cranium to be drawn rapidly out my ear canals :mrgreen:

omg, Cedar Point is my heaven on Earth, I'm not kidding.  I haven't ridden the Dragster yet but one of my former residents works there and I talked to her the other day (after she rode it she called me) and she was speechless.  She said that it's over very quickly because it goes so fast but it is definately a huge thrill.  I can't wait.

I went with my friend Courtney... We rode Power Tower, Wicked Twister (which I must add, is actually more fun that it looks, but we made sure to be in the very front seat, so your facing the ground and can see absolutely nothing else when you go backwards and up... That way it scares the living bahjeebies out of you since you feel like your going to fall out), Magnum, Millenium Force (twice), oh and a whole buncha other one's too...

Oh, and hey lol, Ocean Motion is the greatest... lol, it's all in where you look when the ship goes up... Sit on the left side of the boat when you enter, and look up at the very top of the gears/whatnot above you the whole time your swinging... LOL, it makes your stomach flip like a huge ride would....

:)

Anyways, Melissa is going sometime in June I think... the sixth?? Well anyways, I didn't get to ride the Dragster because practically the whole day it was either "down due to mechanical problems" or "down due to high winds"... Then when they DID open it, there was a four hour wait for the line...

Anyways, ... I still can't wait to ride it... :-D

If this works, (edit* it didn't so I took it out) ... Okay I was standing in line with Courtney for the Power Tower right?, well okay, everyones waiting and stareing to see if maybe the Dragster will do any test runs with the body weight dummies...

All of a sudden, everyone was hooting a hollering (of course) because a car was going up the steep hill, ... and up up up it goes, and then... WOOSH, right back down the same side... Didn't quite have enough speed to it, and good thing I'm not chicken because I bet most people would be like, NO WAY! THAT'S NOT GOOD! I'M NOT GOING ON IT NOW! so on and so forth...

Anyways, yeah, just look at the pic and imagine it (edit* okay look at the original pic in this thread and imagine it since mine didn't work) ... Actually I thought it looked kinda cool... :) Unexpected ya know... But good thing there wasn't a car already in place waiting to go up when the other one fell back down, ... now THAT would have been a Dragster Disaster... *pun intended*

And if your going to eat lunch from one of their cafe's... I highly recommend Johnny Rocket's.... It's my favorite because all the waiters and waitresses will stop for certain songs (example Love Shack) and do a dance routine... And IMO most of them can perform exceptionally well. :)

And they have the best Chocolate Malts. :)

so what the heck does that coaster do as a ride?  obviously it goes up one side and down the other, but does it basically launch you up one side?  or does it have an elevator cable?  are you right side up or sideways on the edge?

:)  I'm planning a trip to cedar point this year.  I've been to tons of other parks and follow coasters quite a bit, just never made it to cedar point... this IS the year tho.

the first hill it has a belt that brings you to the highest spot, then gravity does the rest, once you go down from the highest hill the coaster has enough velocity to make it over the rest of them, sometimes coasters have a few high points thus a few belts

It shoots you up at full speed...

I don't know really what your asking about how the seats are... But it's all about the speed and the height... 120 mph, 420 ft, 12 secs... I think that's right...

it doesn't have a belt, it just shoots you up the damn hill, probably air pressure or something.  Millennium Force has an elevator belt... then i looked at the actual track layout with the 270 rotation coming down at 90 degrees?  off the hook ...

lmao, my car does 120, that coaster is still weak


how would air pressure shoot you up a hill?...im sure there is a belt in there somewhere, its right under the coaster so it doesnt really stand out
