this may perhaps be the greatest invention yet! riding something able to wear flip flops HOLY SHIT THATS GREAT

[@gun714thc]

I agree with you. The designers of Cedar Point make a rough draft of what they want, like relative height relative speed (ect). Then from there it is given to Intamin AG (or there manufacture of choice) and they work out everything else and then they make the ride!

[@zackiemackie12]

this coaster is awesome to ride i love cedar point

[@blackmamba569]

i might ride it if i go there for my birthday

[@kawadawg140]

i have cp platinum passes

[@gun714thc]

@AMAmotocross9 Very true.... Its not all about the specs. Its also about the experience!!

[@gokartracer241]

this is such a scary ride i saw a rollback.

[@flamingcockroaches]

ive been on this at night.
i was like OMG WHERE IS THE GROUND!

[@MrGamesandSports]

its a hell of a lot taller standing next to it in real life than it is on the computer screen

[@cameronsmith945]

i have been on this its crazy the ride is about 20 seconds

[@rktinc]

@AarontheEpicLBT They both use the same Hydraulically powered catapult system

[@CRAZYLEGSYT]

kingda ka beat that ride already :]

[@xXsuperhuntieXx]

@MrEnderdragon Ya but TTD was built and released in 2003 kingda ka: 2005, see six flags coppied though...

[@juliaunpracht4998]

Magnets would never work. Magnets would just seperate on launch because of the acceleration. TTD actually uses a cable launch system which literally drags the coaster up to speed

[@juliaunpracht4998]

Actually they both use cable launch systems.

3:21 KK

[@xXsuperhuntieXx]

@MrEnderdragon But still, they could of. Its all the same just a little higher and they added a little hill. So?

[@beatleszilla]

To end all controversey withe Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster.They are both built by Intamin so Kingda Ka is not a copy. They are both stratacoasters. The only way I can say which is better is with ratings, so that would be TTD because it is much higher in the ratings. I don't to upset KK fans. KK is a great ride, but TTD is just . . . better.

@johngoat13 2003: ttd, 2005: maxair

[@Battlestation123]

Put a rocket behind them.

[@masterpsychosis]

Ok i know the 0-60 in four seconds to 120 mph but to me it felt like it managed it in 2 1/2 seconds is what it felt like..i saw satan during launch right in front of me lol.

[@johngoat13]

i swear it came out in 2005

[@josh19852008]

@beatleszilla They are a copy dude! Cedar Point comes up with the ideas. Then someone goes just a little above it. It happens every time. Cedar Point hands down best in the world for rides. They severely lack on other areas though.

[@Davygotabutt]

@AMAmotocross9 and everybody, kdk is 456 feet tall and dragster is 420, do the math. and to me, anticipation means nothing, the rides are basically the same so stop hating king da ka because you go on dragster more.

[@TheMamamahoney]

it isnt scary just fun

[@mycannon223]

magnets

[@TheCrazyCoasterKid]

3:17

[@bobthedistroyer]

real top fuel dragsters accelerate to 100mph in less that a second

[@juliaunpracht4998]

Kingda Ka is only 36 feet taller and 2 MPH faster and is also a copy of Top Thrill Draster
Get your facts right.

[@mike398100]

well jet engines obviously would work better
