Dragster is balanced right now

Dammit, this must of happened a few hours before we got there.

That'd be fun for the first few minutes then I'd probally start freaking out.

I saw it happen and was so jealous! I have some video of them pushing the train down, I'll post it tommorrow! It was so cold and I was praying for my first rollback but it didn't happen! I have been there both times when it got stuck, to bad I wasn't on it both times!

I was there and thought that could be very cool, and my Aunt called me "INSANE", and I said they will just push it over soon,but how many people can say that happened to them. By the way I witnessed at least 7 rollbacks (lucky people)


I WILL ALWAYS KICK THE SKY.

You have truly inspired me, John. Think I'll have to order one for Opening Day next year . . . ;)

I watched this from the platform at Skyscraper. Definitely a cool and unusual sight to see.


And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

After this happened Dragster was closed for awhile then re-opened. However, due to high winds yesterday Dragster did test rides and closed for the day.

That could be it for Dragster too because next weekend we are supposed to have high winds as well.

^^ It's not supposed to be nearly as windy this weekend as it was yesterday. (keeping fingers crossed)

Nobody ever has a video of it launching and then stopping at the top. :(

I was there on Sept 14th and I was REALLY WINDY. The forecast called for scattered tornadoes. It got nasty in the late afternoon and everything shut down but until then TTD was operating.


I'm going out to get some air.

Scattered tornadoes?


Promoter of fog.

Do they have a little "scattered tornadoes" graphic they put up on the 7 day forecast?

Yeah, but I think that they should have put up the scattered strong hurricanes graphic up instead, because I'm pretty sure it was more hurricane-like.

Aww I want scattered Tornadoes.

The T-Shirt idea is great. CP should make some saying something like "I survived my stay at the top" with a picture of TTD. And IMO it should be no cost to the riders that were on it either. Give them all the shirt as they are sitting at the return station. This doesnt happen very often.

I was there sunday and we waited outside TTD's line but they told us there was no chance of it opening so we left. But all I want is to get a ROLLBACK!!! My friend has gotten 5 of them, and it's a big fat 0 for me!! ALL I WANT IS A ROLLBACK!!
