Default 0-120 in under 4.0

I went out to Cedar point yesterday and rode the top thrill dragster. It wasn't the first time I rode it but damn it amazes me! It rips so hard out the hole, and pulls crazy hard to 120. I guess that's what 10,000 horse will do for ya. Definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't tried it.

Yeah, it's worth checking out. I can pretty much guarantee you won't ever be in anything that accelerates that hard. Only exceptions would be a real drag car or fighter jet

Not to mention it goes 420 feet into the air. Millennium Force is pretty bad *** too.

Get a chance to ride the new Maverick with the 95* drop?

Yeah, Maverick was bad ***. That first drop is pretty intense, it's not too tall though, still very cool. Dragster, Millennium and Maverick are the top three coasters for sure.

I'd definitely recommend going on a sunday in september. The weather was awesome and there were no lines. The longest we waited in line was 40 minutes for maverick. The rest were about 20 minute waits

You havent had a good ride till it dosent make it over the first time, not only do you get to have the acceleration 2 times but you get to **** your pants too.

Dude, you should go on it when VTEC kicks in.
