I actually haven’t had a chance to ride it yet. It was broken down almost all day when I was at Cedar Point last year. It looks pretty intimidating compared to all of the other coasters at CP, though. I’ve ridden Storm Runner at Hershey Park, which is a similar ride (albeit way smaller than TTD) and it was a lot of fun!

I haven’t been on it yet, but that answer might depend on what you’ve ridden already. The worst part is going to be the first part, and my theory is that anything you can hold your breath through (which you can for this) you can live through just fine. :)

depends what other coasters you’ve been on. I’ve been on them all at Cedar Point, and think top thrill is more incredibly exciting than scary :)

Yes, but it is over really fast. The last time I went on it, it didn’t go over the top as fast as usual, and that was really scary. But, it is fun, and worth it just try and go when you won’t have a 4+ hour wait.

Yeah, it was probably the scariest ride I have ever been on, aside from possibly Sheikra at Busch Gardens. I went on again, though.

what ride is that?

Ofcourse it’s scary, but after you’ve rode it, its the most amazing feeling… i think waiting in line is the worst part… because you don’t know what you have to expect.
Its worth the hours of nervous shaking though ;)

Now I wouldn’t say scary…. the rush is worth it… that is if you can ride it when it is working. They have a lot of problems keeping it running.

Yes, it is scary. It’s also the best ride in the park, and like others have said, the rush is definitely worth the wait in line.

Actually, I was terrified to go on it…but once I was off I was like wow that wasn’t so bad…It’s just that it’s soooo fast that it doesn’t give you enough time to even think about how scary or unsafe it might be…which sometimes goes through my head when I’m scared on a ride, but I’m not implying that it’s not safe

The first time I went on it, I remember waiting in line and hearing the “SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!” spiel (at that time it was the tallest coaster on earth). That really got me pumped up, because then there’d be an engine noise revving up like a dragster. Then, when I got into the station they played the rides theme song “Baby I’m Ready To Go” which got me even more fired up. Finally, it was my turn to get in. I sat in there with the lap bar down and holding on to it. Then, finally we started rolling forward out of the station, then we sat there. Waiting. Then the ‘prep lights’ came on, and then before I knew it it was YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW GREEN and we flew. I swear, that ride has so much inertia in it. I felt like I’d fly through the back of the seat! Before I knew it, we were vertical and twisting, then, at the top, we slowed down, so I got to get a good view for just a few seconds. Then we went flying down the tower to end the ride.

If you’re afraid of heights, don’t be too afraid of this ride. You’re only up that high for like 5 (at the most) seconds. But then again, a train for Top Thrill Dragster got stuck up there more than once.

I recommend riding it. You’ll love it. It’s extremely safe, and they’ve had most of all the bugs worked out of it. (C’mon, it was an Intamin A.G. Prototype)
