Ok, so it's extremely official that i am obsessed with the ride i spent the better part of 2 months trying to understand, Dragster. Now because i'm extremely bored and have a free napster subscription, i am downloading all of the songs featured in the Dragster queues.. I have the Beach Boys best of cd thing so that gets rid of that. this is what i have so far:
Crawling in the Dark
Devil with a Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly
Pink Cadillac (which i can't find the right version)
Land of a Thousand Dances
Magic Carpet Ride
Radar Love
A Little Less Conversation
Hot Rod Lincoln
and of course, Ready to Go
but there is one song that i am missing that i know of.. I really couldn't make out any of the words. but from what it sounds like, the chourus ends with "i cant' stop 55" i know it's wrong because i looked for every posisbly answer on google. Anyhoo, see you all at the party tonight..

Well thank you for your contribution to the topic. Adam and myself know quite a few things about the ride (outside of the inside information on operating the ride). I've followed the ride from the moment people reported construction going on in the old Dodgem 1 area, back in May 2002. Basically from day 1 I've researched and read everything about the ride. If it's on the internet or in the newspaper, I've seen it. I'm guessing Adam has a similar story. To say TTD2005 knows 489789237589435 times more than him, it's not only insulting, but you're giving a seasonal employee a lot of credit.

Sorry, I didnt know that TTD2005 was an actual employee(didnt really look at his signature), so I deleted my post. I never meant to say that I knew more than him.
I guess you could say that I know enough about Dragster to understand it. I've read "Top Thrill Dragster - A Technical Introduction" a few times, and Ive seen the Kingda Ka National Geographic special which further helped me understand how Dragster works, as well as other stuff from various sites.
And anyway, the only people who truely know Dragster are the CP mechanics and Intamin.

Thank you rob!! lol It's funny i have worked there a while and never knew that darned song. And can't we all just get along?
Josh was being sarcastic, Cedar point lover was..too?? apparently?
And a seasonal employee i may be, but that certainly is a step up from you, and gives me right to know more about it. Don't think i wasn't in my computer class freshman year of high school looking up new pictures everyday. True, i'm no mechanic or TL for that matter, but i'm still a roller coaster freak, which is kinda why we are all here in the first place. But seriously, thanks rob..lol i can go to sleep now..

How about we all stop declaring how much we know about ________. All we need to know is that we love CP and that we are either obssesd or nuts over __________.:)
It's my fault I brought this about, sorry.
So back on topic:
TTD2005, you said you can't find the right version for Pink Cadillac. Does that include the Artist? I found 2, one by Bruce Springstein and another by Aretha Franklin. Do you happen to know the right one or is that what you're having trouble finding?
-Adam G- The OG Dragster nut
We should all just get along here before Walt sees this. Anyway TTD 120, the one we hear around Coasterz is by Aretha Franklin. You never hear the one by Bruce Springstein too much.
No problem TTD.. I kinda have an unusual attachement to the musi cin the park ;)
Glad to help.

TTD2005, You should get a hold of Kippy for the correct version of Pink Cadillac that was his favorite and he would be able to tell which one it was.

Hey, does anyone know the music in the station? It's something like "And I'll straight out let it out, baby I'm ready, let go."
Did Cedar Point write that song for Dragster? I really like it. Can somebody send it to me?
you also need the sunda sunday sunday. the original one when it said the worlds tallest and fastest .

Not only is the song not by "Republican" but by "Republica", but linking to a copy of a song that you don't own the copywrite to distribute for a download is probably a no-no.
