the last weekend of july i was on a train the paused at the top for a good 1-3 seconds it was a great view of millie at first i didnt think were gonna make it you could hear alot of peaple in the train scream then all of a sudden we got whipped straight down ttd gets better every time

1-3 secs, that was like how my ride was... it was tight, but it was at night, so i couldnt really see anything that well... and we were in the 5th row, still slighty slanted upwards, so i looked over the side and there was just lights pointing up kinda in line an upside down "T"

What are kicker wheels anyway? Can anybody tell me please?

All weekend the trains just barely made it over the top, I couldn't see how anyone was geeting air off the top of the top hat.

kicker wheels are what feed the train through brakes, and sometimes the station. Are they aircraft tires?

Now tell me Cedar Point is running out of space.

i dunno, im betting they are specially made wheels by the roller coaster company, they just look like miniature goodyears or firestones you would put on your car...

yep, but it would help to have some kickers at the top, or just turn the launch speed up, so that all trains clear the top no matter what the weight is

It's funny that everyone (including myself, I will admit) is hoping for a rollback... wouldn't that make it extraordinarily similar to Superman at SFMM?

Sorry, I just couldn't help but notice the startling similarity...

Except for the fact that TTD's launch is about 10 times as intense.

and a rollback gets relaunched, making the ride full-circuit, which Superman is not.

Rolled back trains just rollback to the starting spot (eventually) and get relaunched, its not like thats the WHOLE ride for them...
