go to www.cedarpoint.com and check out the "Top Thrill Dragster". Totally cool.
Finally, an answer to the question: "What does it feel like to cruise to Earth from a height of more than 400 feet at speeds exceeding 100 mph?"
Cedar Point amusement park/resort will stun thrill-seekers in 2003 with the debut of the park's unprecedented 16th, yes, 16th roller coaster - Top Thrill Dragster. Reaching a stratospheric 420 feet tall and topping out at an unheard of speed of 120 mph, this new steel screamer will help Cedar Point reclaim the title of owning the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the universe.
Riders will begin their epic journey aboard this whopping 42-story screamer by securing themselves into ultra-cool trains that resemble top fuel dragsters. The train will then move into a "starting line" position, where it will launch forward, reaching speeds of 120 mph in approximately four seconds.
But hold on … this isn't your father's roller coaster. The train will then zoom straight up the 420-foot-tall hill on track that will rotate 90 degrees, crest the coaster's apex and then free fall back to Earth, reaching a speed of 120 mph for the second time. As the train races more than 400 feet to the ground, the track will twist an unbelievable 270 degrees - what a rush! Riders will then return to the station to begin regaling their friends with stories of the greatest ride of their lives.
120mph will be quite the ride. Cedar Point wasn't on the list for this Year but Now I think it just bumped off one of the other planned trips. lol
