This is my first time on here. I am planning to go to cp in July. Dose anyone know if they have freeway passes for the TTD?

So far I have ridden it twice (unforutnatly not in the front) I did do the back and it has wicked Air-Time on that downward spiral. As for freeway Yes the do have Freeway passes for TTD.

First time I rode in the front seat. Second time I rode in the last seat. Both have different experiences. The first car is the best for the launch for sure! The last car is neat when your heading straight up the hill. It is neat to see the length of the train going up the hill. I think you get more of a feeling of going vertical. Plus, you get more air time. Hard to say whats the best. I would ride both ways for sure!

I've only rode it once... after a 4 hour wait...:)

I rode the front seat and was amazed by the airtime I got. If I remember correctly, I was off the seat during the whole top hat run. It was really great. This is not to mention the visual impact of riding on the front seat, which I always prefer on almost any ride.

The only thing is that I rode it at night, which is usually a different experience than riding during the day. I hope I can go again, maybe next year, so I can ride it during the day... most likely on the front seat... :)

No they do not have freeway passes (as of 5/24) The ride op said next season or late this season

I haven't sat in front yet, so I'd have to say that my favorite seat is the very back.

And now, folks back to the topic -

I rode twice yesterday evening. Once in the first seat and once in the last seat. Opening day I rode in the third seat. Being a firm believer that near the end of the train are the best seats on a coaster, I have to say that for Dragster the FRONT is definately the place to be. This is not your normal coaster ride. The extra airtime over the top is not that much greater when you are in the back. The difference is in the launch. Sure, the acceleration is the same in each seat, but when you are in the front, very little speed bleeds off before you feel the g's from the pull-up. The increase in g's by far offsets the speed lose. You don't even realize the train is slowing. When you are in the back, you feel a little decelaration before you get to the pull-up and I felt it was a bit disconcerting.

The front beats all other seats by a long shot. I don't think theres another coaster out there where the front makes so much more difference than the rest of the train!
