Seating Arrangments

In the back, the launch is not nearly as fast,
So, at what point does the back of the train catch up to the front? I'm no physics genius, but I was under the impression that the entire train is moving at the same speed since it's all connected.

Has anyone seen the huge 2003 Cedar Point calender poster yet? It has this AWESOME drawing of Dragster being launched off into space... like the track goes straight up and disappears into the sky...its pretty cool!! The drawing of the train on the calender is identical to the real ones they are using...but it looks like each row has 3 seats instead of 2. Is that how its gonna be for real...3 people across...not 2? Just curious!

I am sure steelrider33 meant your body's perception of the launch. I am sure he has enough common sense to realize that all cars on the train move at the same time. It is really unnecessary to criticize EVERY SINGLE MISTAKE someone makes while posting on here.

i know this has nothin to do with the seating, but can anybody guess the spiel the ride op's will use this year?

I'd venture to guess that it will be automated just like MF and WT. They could even have the SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! guy on the automated spiel. :) I wonder if that would get too obnoxious after a while though...

What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

I have the poster hanging on my wall, and yes, it is really cool.

From what I saw, it looks like the line will "split" at the final approach to the station, going left for the first train and right for the second. I'll assume there will be a ride op there directing traffic to each side. Then it will be the normal procedure for boarding in the station. I really hope they allow waits for front and back seats.

Oh yea i remember when I first rode MF they told me where I had to go. I didnt like that I hope they dont do that for TTD.

Gas for drive to Cedar Point: $25
Ticket to Cedar Point: $43
Drink while in line for ride: $3
Travel 410 feet in the air: Priceless

MF and WT both have separate lines for the front seat. Don't they let you chose if you want to wait for the front or just go to the other seats?
