Funny stuff about Dragster

Also, waiting in line for magnum a father was talking to his daughter about dragster. Conversation went something like this....

F: Boy that ride sure is tall. I wonder what those black things on the tower are?

D: I don't know

F: Maybe thats where the air is released from?
(Train launches)

F: Oh those black things are lights. But why are they different colored? (Train starts going up tower) oh wait wait now they went off! Why did they go off? hmmmmm

(About 30 seconds later of staring)

F: Wow what a ride. 410 ft and 102mph. Amazing.......

There was another person that should be worth mentioning, even though its not entirely about TTD. This was a conversation we had with a kid in line for Raptor. I don't remember how we got talking exactly, I just remember his statements. This is a little into the convo.

Kid: I got this card that lets me get in free to the park. It has my picture and everything.

Me: A season pass?

K: No its just a card that lets me get into the park free.

M: Its a season pass, you pay so much for it and you can get in all season.

K: No I think this is different.
(So now i've realized the kid is just about dumb. Heres more)

K: This park makes a killing off of admissions that you pay for. I bet they make maybe around 4 million dollars a year off of admissions.

M: More than that. Dragster cost 25 million itself.

K: BULL! Dragster did not cost that much. I doubt it cost a million. Look how short it is.

M: It has 6 trains, uses hydraulic launch, has lots of kicker wheels and sensors, etc. Plus its just as long as Iron Dragon.

K: NU UH! Your crazy!

C: No hes right.

K: Whatever.......

(Little bit later on)

K: (points to Blue Streak) That ride there is the oldest ride in the park. It was built in the 1800's.

(We both laugh)

M: No it wasn't. Thats a John Allen woodie, it was made in the 60's!

K: Nu uh man....it was made in 1885 I believe.

Cue-Tip: No it wasn't. It was the sixties.

K: Whatever...you guys are all wrong.

About this time we're tired of listening to the kid so we just let him be nieve(sp?) and just agreed with whatever he said. He went on to say that Mantis had more inversions than Raptor or other ramble I don't even remember. If there was more to it Cue, just add.
