| Many of my friends both in-game and in real life know that I'm a big roller coaster person.
In this thread, we shall discuss roller coasters~!
Any true roller coaster fanatic has at least heard of Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. This amusement park features several record holding roller coasters and what many people believe to be the greatest roller coasters in the world. I'll be going there for the third time this year on Monday or Tuesday.
One of the record holding roller coasters is the Top Thrill Dragster, which accelerates from 0-122 MPH in three seconds, sends you up a ridiculously tall hill, and you go down with a 90 degree spin. It holds the record for the tallest AND fastest roller coaster in the world. I've rode it once and take my word for it, it's the greatest ride ever.
Here's a video of it.

The video hardly does it justice, and you need to see what it looks like in real life to truly grasp how fast it goes and how MASSIVE the hill is.

| Personally, I hate roller coasters. But I still have been on every ride in Cedar Point. Girls make you do crazy things. Top Thrill was not as bad as I thought it would be. I am too pessimistic so I believe like every ride will kill me. Going at a 90 degree slope was the worst thing I faced that day. I still enjoyed it but I will never ride it again. | |

| I like thrill rides... But the sad thing is that I hate anything that goes high. Maybe a roller coaster 10 feet off the ground would be nice... XD But seriously, dude... That Top Thrill thingy looks sick. | |

The hill isn't the good part, the launch is. You hardly even feel the hill. Ultra, you may like this, the Maverick, which is also at cedar point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geL0IItMQFo&feature=related | |

| ud think that if you ride top thrill b4 millenium force that its the best ride ever but millenum force is way better because its 2 minutes and top thrill is 17 seconds oh ya and top thrill isnt the tallest and fastest in the world in new jersey theres a roller coaster called kingda ka that goes up 456 ft and goes 128 mph and soon in a race track some where in europe there thinking of making a roller coaster that goes 131 mph im not sure how high its gonna go though i love rollercoasters so much i do so much research and theres a ride in hersheys pa thats the steepest drop in the world its 97 degrees at cedar point we have maverick witch is 95 degrees so thats the 2nd steepist ii know alot more but its not that important | |

| The Millennium Force IS the best ride there.
Top Thrill > Kingda Ka. Kinga Ka has shoulder restraints and is supposed to be bumpier. | |

Top Thrill > Kingda Ka. Kinga Ka has shoulder restraints and is supposed to be bumpier. well they only have them because the second hill like you know when you go on top thrill or maverick or millenium you fell like your about to fly up out of your seat when your going up the hill on millenium or going down on maverick and top thrill thats how you feal on kingda ka it sounds like nothing because its a 100 ft hill but your going really fast | |
