June 11, 2009 (b): High Ride

From Rense.com: "With a record-breaking height of 420-feet and record-breaking speed of 120 mph, Top Thrill Dragster delivers on its promise of thrilling riders this summer at Cedar Point, Ohio.

Last picture says it all... "

Well, it seems i messed this up. Sorry folks. I, for some reason, thought submitting a new thread it would have to be "okayed" by someone.

Also, my uploaded pics didn't seem to make it either. But the link works and it is a pretty amazing set of images.

Aplogies for the mess up--

Must plan trip to Cedar Point...

That girl needs to take her pants off.

I killed a few brain cells in my day, but that coaster looks familiar.

Holy shit. It's twice as tall and fast as Possessed - and that one yanked the spit right out of my mouth when I tried to scream... I didn;t pee though, and plan to keep it that way...

Cedar point has a LOT of high, fast, steep rollercoasters. More world-record holders and past record holders than anywhere else int he world. In fact, the highest point in the state (If I remember correctly) is the top of that roller coaster. And Ohio has more amusement parks than any other state.

I'm from Ohio, BTW but I live in Calgary, AB, Canada now, our largest park is Calaway Park ~sigh~

I think the last pic is not actually taken at Cedar Point.

King's Island in this direction. Cedar Point in the Northeast.

I luvvvvvvvvvvvv rollercoasters.

Cellar GTG at Cedar Point then?

Oh yes PLEASE!
Ir you can work out a way to make the trip under £500, I can be there by this September. Well, it'd have to be after the schools are back in because of queueing anyway.

O.M.G...what a great idea!

True about timing, a weekday when schools are back in session is best. Though I will wait 2-3 hours for a good coaster, I'd rather not, and ride it twice!

Re: Pic #3, I imagine that girl isn't the only one who walked away with wet pants. Maybe even brown pants.

It's interesting because most people while being terrified can work with and trust a part of their brain that can logic out that no matter how 'bad this is' it's a safe situation. The next person (that gal) can't make that connection and gets the full emotional response.
