This Coaster Gets Right to the Point

Cedar Point knows roller coasters. The park is loaded with them. But Top Thrill Dragster is a different breed of thrill machine. Like some mutant monster that emerged from a pile of radioactive goo, it sits smack dab in the middle of the park's midway looking impossibly tall and menacing. No slow click-clack-click ascent up a lift hill; no teetering-at-the-top followed by a cathartic first drop; no inversions. It's just an unholy 120-mph launch up, over, and down an insane 420-foot tower. Read my Top Thrill Dragster coaster review.
