Cedar Point announces Top Thrill Dragster

Gator, just take off your glasses to load, and replace just prior to launch. Heck, if I can get some airtime, due to my "bloated stomach" routine, I would just skirt the issue until I were just ready to launch. It's worth a shot, anyway.

Not that anybody cares, but man, I don't like the name. Sounds like that SNL skit: Steve Martin's penis creme-'new formula'. I don't know... why not just call it Super Neato Space Launch?;)

Well it looks like a giant penis so I think that fits then :)

"Sorry folks, park's closed. The moose out front should've told you."

I've thought that since they topped it off. Cedar Point is now the most "well-endowned" park on the planet! And Kick The Sky, I seem to remember seeing a lot of other CP ads with people's hands up. I've never seen them actually *enforce* no hands up, its just legal mubo-jumbo to keep the lawyers happy.

And may I reccommend that ski goggles can be as cheap as $20 and would keep your glasses on ;) I wear contacts but I got new ones this season and want to wear my old ones to the park next year just for laughs ... I know I always chuckle when I see someone else wearin em!

I never thought of that, the ski goggles fit right over your glasses?

GTTP got a plug over at www.fark.com, where this story is getting some interesting comments...

A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.

I noticed something, there are contraptions on the tower in the vids. Looks like they will be lights so at night the entire tower will look like a drag race staging light 400 feet up in the sky. CP scores again on neat factor.

WOW, I cant wait for this coaster! The trains looks awesome! And I also like the name Strata-Coaster! *** This post was edited by Montu001 on 1/9/2003. ***

*drools* well there goes 5 hours of my life for a ride maybe 40 seconds long. I cannot wait to ride that sucker.

Rob, are you *suggesting* that I should "skirt the rules"....instead of my normal routine of just CHASING skirts...;)

Sheepishly, I will admit to having *bent* the rules when asked to remove my glasses....I'll tuck them away and replace on the lift hill. I probably shouldn't admit to it, but it IS really stupid to think I'd want to "ride blind". FWIW, I wasn't able to keep my arms down on Hypersonic, either...;)

Well, now we know where "Superman" went from The Escape. They're making him a few feet taller! :)

This coaster is definitely interesting and it makes Millennium Force look like a lot of fun.

When I first took a look at the trains, I thought of a giant rat or something. They'll probably be cool once I see them in person.

Is CP a theme park now or just a randomly-theme-what-we-want park?

I'm really excited about the news, but I'm disappointed that it's taller than Space Spiral. Oh well, I guess I'll have to take all of my pictures while riding TTD now.

-Danny, who thought this would be Superhero themed to Unbreakable

Anyone else wishing that the track twisted before going vertical?

And I can't wait for Kentucky Kingdom to answer this by making their dragsters climb just as high...

I think the was very cool. The only thing I really don't want is for it to be called dragster because I wanted to be surprised about the name but Im cool with it. The trains look awsome and I hope they have huge moveable tires in the back(I think they will).

Dayum...Sweet trains!!!!

100th coaster....Dania Beach Hurricane!

Strata-Coaster. That answers all questions about what comes after Giga Coaster. It looks so awesome, wake me up when it's May! Go CP!

Well there you go! 120MPH..geez..the smile will stay on your face permantely!

Kick the sky:

Smith brand goggles (which I have), and probably most brands specify on the box whether they're designed to fit over glasses or not. They ones that are designed so, fit quite comfortably over glasses.

Ski goggles are also helpful for rainy rides. No "shot in the face with a nail gun" feeling.

Amazing. I never said anything, but before I was thinking this ride would be stupid because of the short layout, but after seeing what I just saw...Wow. This ride might actually scare me. Man, I can't wait to get to CP. On the other hand, $25 million could buy like 10,000 feet of S&S woodie. ;)
