Dragster Too Extreme?

Unless I'm suffering from bodily harm or experiencing pain on a ride, it's not too extreme. Dragster doesn't even approach either of these, so it's definitely not too extreme.

Gee mantis man, I believe you've just summed up Son of Beast. ;)

Millennium Force Laps-116
**Vertigo Launches-21**
Dragster Launches-7

agreed. that ride is really bumpy, and the harnesses are horrible too. plus you are cramped up.

I've got a disease, and the only prescription is more cowbell.

Son of Beast has got to have the worst trains on any ride.They run the track horribly.But I think if it had different trains it could actually be a good ride.

I have the same problem, I black out a little bit off the first turn from millie, but never had that problem on dragster, dragster is eqaul, if not better, in smoothness. When you go up and down from the tophat, you experience very little G's. And the launch, NAH. The padding on your head is perfect for ya. Its rather comfortable. Don't worry about it and just ride it!

If you want an extreme launch take a flight over to Japan and hit Dodonpa;)

Sorry about bringing up this old topic again, but while riding an Arrow ride that is very much like corkscrew, except that it has two loops in a row, I "greyed out" during the 2 loops while trying to look straight up to see the rest of the train above/below me.

I've never had this happen to me before, but it was really diffrent, all of a sudden I got this light headed dizzy feeling, and my entire field of vision started to fade (no i didn't blink), then inbetween the 2 loops i started to regain it only to lose it again during the second loop.

I was wondering if anything like his has happened to people on old Arrow multi-loopers, or even any of the new B&M looping coasters. Thanks for your feedback.:)

No, but I know what I'm trying next time on Corkscrew...

Yeah, here in Buffalo at SFDL we have an old arrow looper but its not a double looper. Down the first drop and straight into the loop I grey out most of the time but not always-the ride is a lot of fun but I'm getting a little too tall 6'2 and I'm only 15, and the OTSR are hurtin. Also I greyed out in one of the inversions on The Hulk at IOA. I don't think its anything to worry about but I don't think its exactly fun either. They should do something about it actually in my opinion. I'm sure companies look to avoid it now a days. I've even greyed out on The Boomerang also but those are the only coasters its ever happened on. I'm sure it happens to a lot of people on coasters that pull powerful G's.

On my first ride on dragster i honestly did not think that the launch was intense. Just fun

You know that stomach-aching feeling you get when you go down hills? Do you get that on the launch or the drop on TTD?

--brennan

i thought dragster wasnt too extreme. it was just crazy. i thought that going down the hill seemed to go by really fast, but going up hill we seemed to just keep going up and up and up. probably since the spiraling and intisapation (sp.).

Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more cowbell!

To me, too extreme is fun. I mean it's a great ride and is very extreme.

brennan - You get it a lot on the launch. Whenever you felt that the most on a ride, DOUBLE IT, then you have how it feels on TTD.

brennan, yes, the stomach rising like pressure/burning wierd feeling does happen to me on dragster... I never remember feeling it until I rode Dragster this year, then when i rode Wicked Twister later in the year i felt it on there too...

It's a Wierd feeling and its awesome... I like it :)

its weird, i went back and was reading the earlier posts, and a lot of people are talking about how your first time was just a blur, yet i still remember mine very vividly. anyone else with me?

I'm with ya, I can still remember every little detail of my first ride on TTD, but the more and more I ride it, the more and more detail I can add, such as looking around the park and seeing certain things from 420 feet in the air.

yeah, the first time i remember seeing millenium forces first hill, and the second time i remember seeing millenium forces layout. probably just since i knew exactly where to look the second time around. we also paused more at the top and i thought we might get a rollback.

The first time I rode it was just a blur second time I remembered the whole ride.
