Dragster is balanced right now
My sister is at the park today, and she just called and told me that Dragster is perfectly balanced at the top with people on it (web cams comfirm this). What is this, the second or third time this has happened now?
Regardless, that's gotta be awesome and scary to be on there right now!
That is my absolute worst fear. They must have just come down as I dont see anything on the cam.
I'm going out to get some air.
They have closed off the ride as I can see a line growing outside of the entrance.

That was weird, as soon as I logged on to that FunCam, watching MF and TTD, I even saw that train go up, then it just sat there. First I though the webcam wasn't updating, then I saw the clouds moving. I timed it to be around 25 mins I think, to bad I couldn't take a screenshot of the webcam.

Is there an additional webcam besides the one from the top of TTD and the one that is the main midway?
I do not see one that looks at anything else.

The cam I was talking about is this, I figured out how to take a screen shot, but it's to late now. :(

Must've been pretty chilly today! I remember it happening one time in July or August in 03 or 04.

That would be my luck! I know I have had some strange things happen in my years of riding, but I would not want to be stopped on the top of the Dragster on a day like this.
Life is like a rollercoaster! It is full of ups and downs
My wife and I were in line when this happened. Dragster was sad today...loading 4 people only most of the day, but it was very windy.
The people that got off the train were not very happy campers to say the least. It was so windy...they said they could feel it swaying a lot the entire time, and all looked extremely cold. :) I would say it took about 20 minutes altogether.

I would love to be stopped up there. The view from up there would be great. I've always said it would be funny to have one shirt on in the first picture and get stuck at the top so you could change your shirt and have something completely different on in the second.
We'll miss you MrScott and Pete
I am terrified of heights. I can only do TTD because it is so quick. I still can't do the green power tower.

Only loading four people today, that must have seemed like the line would take forever. Looking at the waves from the webcam, It did look like the wind was blowing in the direction the facing the train's as they go over.
I love Power Tower both green and red.

I was getting off Magnum when it happened. They were so lucky. I have no luck when it comes to TTD and roll backs or stuff like that.

I thought the same thing, but maybe on a day when it's 80 degrees...not in the high 30's with the wind chill for 20 minutes. No thanks.

I was dressed warm anyways so I wouldn't have minded being up there. Especially if I get to have my picture in the Blog!!!! Woohoo! :)

That is way cooler than a rollback . . . If that were me, I'd want to commission a tee-shirt commemorating the event.
