Looking for Article: “Top Thrill Dragster, A Technical Introduction”

Hi All,

I've been hunting down an older article, and it was traced back to this forum, but I've been unable to locate it. Would anyone happen to know where this could be found?

It is a reference needed in regard to a project on technical progression of rides in the past ten years.

Thanks Kindly!

literally the first thing that showed up when I googled it

" on virtualmidway.com, and there is a diagram there that shows all the blocks on the ride."

http://www.thepointol.com/board2/viewtopic.php?p=20314&sid=c7ac6e94...59b5a985ef

so according to that look over on virtual midway.

edit: which I didn't realize leads right back here. have fun with that.

this is the old link: http://www.pointbuzz.com/ttdtech.htm

it has apparently been removed.

Check your email...Walt and Jeff took the article down when they re-did the site, but I still have all the relevant materials available. 8-)

I thought I put it back up after the redesign. The supporting images are even on the new side.

At any rate, I put it up at http://pointbuzz.com/c/ttdtech.aspx. Maybe Jeff can put a 301 on ttdtech.htm.
