Lap Bar Launch Masterpiece Reliability

Incredible, smooth ride WITH LAP BARS (Tallest coaster in the world with lap bars ;)). Would definitely wait any amount of time to go on this, especially since this ride is typically open less than half of the time nowadays (excluding its current closure for the rest of 2021)

The most intense experience you will ever experience.

im a sucker for intense launches, and thats the dictionary definition of dragster, enough said

Lap Bar Intensity Too short

This ride is really intense and really fun, but it's like 25% of a ride. Length is its main issue.

Lap Bar Launch Intensity Too short Reliability

This is currently the tallest and fastest coaster I've ridden. That launch is insane and extremely forceful. However that's about all this ride does. This is one of only a few coasters I consider too short because it really only has 2 elements. However, just for the launch alone, this ride is excellent

Nice surprise! Launch Intensity

Credit #63 Pros: -Seriously one of my favorite coasters. Ever. Kingda Ka doesn't even compare to this monster of a ride. Cons: -The fact that I liked this more than Steel Vengeance. Sorry SteVe fans!

Launch Too short Layout Reliability

This ride is a jackhammery, boring mess. The only good part is the launch. The tophat is rough and not very exciting.

The launch and the height it reaches are incredible

Intensity Too short Reliability

The view is insane

Launch Intensity Too short Reliability

The line was so long for the first 5-10 years that it was tough to justify the ride time. Top Thrill is hardly a roller coaster and more like the world's best and most intense flat ride. It's also unreliable and I often wait until the afternoon when it's warmed up. For all of those reasons, I usually pass it on my way to Magnum or Valraven.

Theming Launch Pace Reliability

これは「加速」は楽しめても「スピード」を楽しめるコースターではないね。一回乗ると耐性がついてコワくなくなるので初乗車は必ず先頭から。

The intensity of the launch is off the charts. Unfortunately, the reliability of this ride is terrible. It closes at least 3 times every day. Awesome ride though.

Great launch the ride is really intense but a lil short

Comfort Launch Intensity

Amazing ride! Front Row is easily the best row and make sure to get on Dragster if you go to Cedar Point!

Lap Bar Launch Intensity Too short Reliability

This is the definition of intense. That's all I've gotta say.

Airtimes First Drop Launch Too short Reliability

The superior strata coaster, extremely fast raw and exposed. t bars are the best thing ever for rides like this.

First Drop Lap Bar Launch Too short

I operated this ride so I'm biased. The best launch on the continent, only a lapbar, and what a view! Baby I'm Ready to Go again!

Launch Fun Intensity Too short

This was my 50th credit! TTD was my first true strata coaster (Superman Escape from Krypton isn't a real one), and it rocked! My one and only ride was in the front row, which was even better. Even though the ride is short, every part of it is awesome. The launch is intense and the wind in your face is exhilarating. The transition to the vertical track is intense, and flying upwards is a cool feeling. You get a brief moment to take in the scenery, then you're back twisting down the 270 degree drop, which also provides good forces. Then it's over so soon, however, which is why this gets a star knocked off.

Crazy but short!

Launch Too short Pointless

見たまんまです

Lap Bar Launch Smoothness Too short

It's smoother and the restraints are better, but the Launch doesn't quite reach Kingda Ka's. I also miss the large floater hill.

Fun Harness Intensity Too short

The first Strata. Made by Intamin this beast is insane. The 120 mph hydraulic launch is one of the most forceful moments on any coaster out there. One of the few rides that can be less then 20 seconds long and still be worth an hour wait. The restraints are awesome too. Only a lap bar on a Strata is awesome. Sure it would be nice for it to be a little longer but either way this thing is crazy.

Theming Lap Bar Launch Too short Dead spots

A one trick pony with a strong launch but not much else. It's a good gimmick, but it doesn't feel like a full coaster. A full layout like Formula Rossa, while impractical in the available space, would have been a better experience - I'd sacrifice Iron Dragon for a layout after the tophat.

Lap Bar Launch Intensity

9.7 out of 10! WOW, not the best at Cedar Point, but my favorite. Got to ride 7 times over two days and every time was even better. What a view at the top to see the whole park. What speed, I think know how the Flash feels running.

Location Launch Too short

My number one for well over a decade; TTD is a very simple, no nonsense blast. Lap bars are a massive plus over almost all the other Intamin Accelerators. Simple but very effective theming and banging 90's alt-rock on the front gate. Ready to go? :-)

Lap Bar Launch Fun Layout

Way too short, but extremely fun and intense. Lap bars are comfy too!

Launch Fun Intensity Too short Dead spots

It's just kind of boring, really a gimmick.

Location Launch Intensity Too short

Top Thrill Dragster is the best coaster of its kind. This coaster is amazingly smooth, fast, and surprisingly comfortable. What also makes this launch coaster amazing are the lap bars. It is comfortable and allows you to enjoy your ride by putting your hands up. To me, it is pretty short, but that’s how all those types of roller coasters have to be made because of its speed. What surprised me the most was how it was so much more faster than I expected. Top Thrill Dragster, is a fun, adrenaline rushing coaster, that’ll leave you breathless.

First Drop Lap Bar Launch Too short

Top Thrill Dragster is the most terrifying coaster I've ever ridden, and I love it. It always makes my palms sweaty and makes me hold on as tight as I can. Short, but sweet. Pure adrenaline for 20 seconds.

Location Launch Intensity Rattle Too short Discomfort

Meh. A gimmicky one trick pony that somehow, due to its extreme rattle, manages to be uncomfortable as well. It's a rite of passage, but not valuable for much else.

Fun Masterpiece

This "one-trick-pony" gives you a 30-seconds kick of sensations. The setting in the middle of the park and the lap bars are a big plus compared to Kingda Ka.

Theming Headbanging Tear it down!
