That is an awesome article! Does anyone know if TTD set a record for the most expensive coaster ever? I can't download the video!!
Steel Dragon 2000 in Japan cost more. I think it cost $51 million USD.

Now, Cedar Point is "Bulding for the future."
Coincidence?

..and a SPECIAL "Autograph session" will be part of the annual GTTPRGBS. :)

Yep. Look for Tim's autograph on the Visa slip at the end of the night!

Og, you're right about Steel Dragon 2000 being roughly 50 million. The cost is mainly due to MASSIVE earthquake proof supports that Morgan had to install to meet safety requirements. Not to mention the gauge of the track and wheels are HUGE, I don't think I've ever seen larger wheels (if you get a chance find a picture, the wheels are amazing to look at!).

Not to mention, congrats Old Timer Tim on the USA Today! I'll be hunting down the res. hall front desk newspaper just too check out the article!
