I went the day after they shut it down. I was so mad waiting on other lines and seeing that huge track towering over everything.

My son and I sat in the last seats so we would get the longest stretch of straightaway as possible then get pulled over the top of the hill faster. I like the back on all coasters. Either way that ride kick's some ***

I rode Dragster out at Cedar Point (almost exactly the same ride)...yeah it's awesome no doubt, but for my money i'd take Millenium Force any day. Much better all around ride.

Can't argue with the launch though, that's a hell of a lot of fun.

Definitely agree with you on that one. I rode on Dragster in the front seat, and while it was one hell of an experience, Millenium Force was my personal favorite!

Millenium Force is, in my opinion, the most insane coaster ever built. It has a 310ft. drop, and over a mile of track. It's basically a 95mph, 3 minute tour of the largest amusement park in the world. Yes I know Dragster and Kingda Ka are faster and taller, but they are both about 30 seconds long. No thanks. Just get out there and ride it if you don't believe me. You'll change your mind real quick.

just waited in line for kingda ka for 4.5 hours (bc of rain delay) however this has been 3 months in the works since i had my season pass and every time i went kingda ka was closed.

since i waited so long, i went to the front of the coaster and jeeeeeeeeesus it was windy. so windy my contacts started to go to the outside of both eyes. However the ride was quicker than post prom sex. so i agree, nitro is all together a better ride, but if kingda ka failed and didnt launch hard enough to get us over the hump, and my car got a second launch (which happens from time to time), then it would have been better than anything else in the world. except post prom sex.

Looks like i'll be there the weekend before that. From my experience, dragster will be closed for most of october. The wind is really bad out there in the fall. But they have some great halloween attractions anyway.
