Well my Internet Explorer just crashed and I lost my entire trip report. Therefore, I'll just tell you about TTD.
I waited for 6 hours and it was worth every second. This was hands down the single most intense experience I have ever gone through on any amusement park ride, anywhere. There is no acceleration, just INSTANTANEOUS SPEED. It's the kind of ride that makes you reexamine your life, your entire knowledge of roller coasters, and what jet pilots and drag racers go through! I was speechless for a minute, my jaw was open, my pupils dilated, and I screamed, "Oh my god" for a good minute after the ride. I hope Fox didn't use the footage they got of me because I was a complete mess. If you like a certain ride because of its intensity, you can kiss it goodbye from your #1 spot because NOTHING can compare to what this ride does to you. I don't even know if I can make this my #1 spot because it is so different than all of the traditional rides I have been on. I only other ride that must be as crazy as this is "X", simply because it is so far off of the radar. I beg of you to get to CP as quickly as you possibly can and ride this ride, no matter how long the wait. CP has once again managed to out-do themselves and build another RIDICULOUS roller coaster. I can't wait to see what they have in store next; I just hope it's not a 500 footer, because it would be painful!!
Some technical stuff: three train operation, with pretty poor dispatch intervals. They had to confiscate one man's camera, and then both trains had no to move back one block, then move back forward one block. I didn't know why they had to reset the system. They only had two breakdowns (should I say 15 minute "silent periods?), but I didn't even know what was going on because the queue is pretty much all covered on one side by boards.
See you there!
While we were watching it get ready to launch, some yahoo in the front car had a video camera he thought he'd hold onto and film his ride. A security guy had to come and take the camera away. This episode cost about 12 minutes.
