I’m SO GLAD someone posted this! I’ve been on it several times years ago but out here now in Colorado, had no other way of showing my kids this amazing ride!! Thank you for posting!
Waiting in line: This is the best decision ever. Your next in line: This is the best decision ever. On the ride looking up before it takes off: this is the worst decision ever.
Got 2 front row rides last summer just a week or two before the incident. So glad I got this credit. It broke down 4 times while waiting for it. 2 hours of waiting WITH flash passes. Crazy. Worth it though.
I went on those two years ago and let me tell you I was so petrified it takes off so fast and that big hill it goes down it is intense it's like a 20 second ride but let me tell you the adrenaline afterwards was awesome. Oh and waiting for the light to turn green to go was like torture
I rode this once in October of 2019 and it is probably the most memorable roller coaster I’ve ever ridden. I hope the modifications being made to the ride are successful, and I hope it makes the ride safer than ever.
Been on that ride when i was 13 and was in the front seat with nothing but a lap bar and that scared me knowing that we were going up and and down vertically and didn't think it was going to be that safe. When we were at the top it stopped for 5 seconds facing straight down and I was screaming for my life while my dad sitting next to me was trying to hold me back. I practically peed my pants and was very shaken up after that.
The first time I rode was in 2006. It had rained some on and off. After we were strapped in the worker with the mic told us we may not make it over the hill due to the track being wet. My 13 year old self about had a heart attack 😂 thankfully we made it over. I remember the opening year, we stood watching for a good while. The reaction from riders were the best. TTD will be missed but I’m interested to see what changes cedar fair decides to make.
It ain’t going anywhere, it’s just getting some new features. As for that whole not making it up thing, we call that a “rollback”. They’re rare but fun. You’re not gonna crash, these coasters are designed with failsafes in case it doesn’t make the hill. They’re fun as you get to feel all the force of the launch, but in reverse.
Ahhh I see you all have been waiting to post this 👀 lmao, I really hope the ride is “re-imagined” and not completely taken down. it’s up high on my bucket list of coasters
@@ryandg2008 ttd is still better honestly. Much smoother especially since the launch track is so much lower to the ground. They are hardly different in terms of vertical drop. Also more comfortable restraints on ttd.
For those who do not know it’s a 120 mph- up 420 ft.. you literally can’t breathe. But your heart is racing so fast and the spiral down is because the g force is so powerful they couldn’t construct it any other way. I believe China has built a taller rollercoaster now, but it’s not as fast..
Depending on what they retheme it to, I'm gonna miss the engine sounds plus squealing tires at the launch. Maybe also the launch intensity if I even notice. Looks like I'll only ever get to experience this ride the one time.
I wish I could take my granddaughter for a ride on TTD!!! Last time I rode it was in 2005 when I was a mere “child” (Grandmother) @ 53... I’d ride that dang coaster today... Waiting to be able to be in the front car was worth every second of every minute of every hour!!! Yup!!! I’m still a mere child @ 70!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
First one to comment since top thrill 2 was announced. Everyone is wondering how they’re going to load the coaster and still maintain capacity, it is still going to run exactly like this. The second train is already being held behind the zone that is going to halt rear-movement of the train.
You said in the description that the intamin launcher showed “no signs of letting up”, but you must not have gone to cedar point much because in the last 7 years there have been multiple signs of it letting up. The ride has been closed 75% of the time I’ve visited in the past 7 years and we go twice a year.
I rode this ride 5 times in a row when we came up on this amusement park on accident when moving to Canada lol mom and dad did it cause we had been on the road for three days moving with two uhails and me and my three brothers and we needed some fun and a break best ride in my childhood
You must have got a good launch because you flew over the top hat. When I rode it we just barely crawled over it and were close to getting a roll back.
I'm gonna miss this ride. Hearing that is it permanently closed made me wish I went on it when I went to Cedar Point for my only first time in 2016. 😢My cousin and dad went on it but I was too chicken at the time but now I wish I did.
Hold off on the red alert, people, it's being modified and NOT removed -- what's resting in peace is the hydraulic launch system (and some other things I don't know about), it'll reopen, just modified according to guidelines that are YET to be determined! Stay tuned! :)
If I were a play-by-play drag race announcer and I were in that coaster ride, here it is - "And there it rockets away....the Top Thrill set of cars in front of our cars, down the coaster dragstrip, as it shoots up into the 420 arch and down again. You think the cars blasting away from us was some burnout...." "Now, here is our chance, our series of Top Thrill dragster cars. Our cars go about 3 mph into the staging area, and we coast to a stop, and we will only just wait. Once those staging lights turn green, we will be on extremely high adrenaline--NO TURNING BACK!" "Here are the top lights, get ready riders, for the quarter-mile style coaster of your life! AND AWAY WE GO!!! --we ROCKET AWAY....we go to the first vert up, shooting off like a rocket to the 420 foot mark, and now the curve, and now, the TOUGH PART---as we face the second vert down - we start the descent and OOOOOH the surprise bank mid-drop, and finally we straighten as the descent leads to the straightaway.....AND WE SEE THE FINISH LINE....and that's it! The ride is over! ET is 16.8 seconds, with a maximum speed of 120 mph! All of you probably want to be dragster drivers someday--and with Top Thrill....you got your helluva drag-racing simulation!"
Glad I rode this back in 2019! What I didn't expect was that it closed down. I know they did this to prevent any more accidents on it (from a piece of metal falling off and bonking someone on the head, for example, which happened to cause its closedown), but I feel sad it's gone now. Well, at least I rode it once, but farewell, Top Thrill Dragster...
True story the first time I was in line for this ride in 2009 I started to swear profusely and we in line right behind these cute girls and my friend just laughed and laughed and laughed and I literally couldn’t stop sweating and boy when that thing launched that air on my face and body felt so good. Went right back in line and said we doin it again. Haven’t been back since then.
I never rode Top Thrill Dragster. Every time I went to Cedar Point during the ride's lifetime it was either closed for repair, or the wait time was 3+ hours even with a fast pass. I hope they replace it with an actual roller coaster.
Oh man, this brings back memories. Used to always watch videos just like this, from this channel, circa 2010. Was just a kid then. RIP TTD
Saaame. I was 13 and absolutely obsessed with this channel & POVs in general.
felt
Same
They were joking with you with the rip TTD
RIP TTD "as you know it" - it ain't going nowhere!
I’m SO GLAD someone posted this! I’ve been on it several times years ago but out here now in Colorado, had no other way of showing my kids this amazing ride!! Thank you for posting!
Never be forgotten. I still remember this footage, with audio quality and all.
This breaks over 120mph?!? No wonder I felt weird just watching it from the safety and comfort of my chair 😮😂 What an amazing video!
I just want all of you to know that Jesus loves you so much that He died for your sins on the cross so that you may be forgiven.
@@averyhenson4034 That's nice, but keep the sentiments to on-topic videos. Have a nice day.
@@averyhenson4034Maybe comment that on videos that may actually get helped by you
It hit 121
Sad that's it's gone. Was a great ride. Waited 2 and half hours once for this 17 second ride.
RIP TO A LEGEND…
Thank you for the memories
That little roll back and and air pressure Release before the takeoff was the best part! Man I muss this ride!!!
I'll never forget the first time I rode this.
Arms down, head back, and hold on.
My heart began to race before the lights changed in anticipation for what was going to happen and I was not even riding the thing!!! Intense.
yea, me to
Waiting in line: This is the best decision ever.
Your next in line: This is the best decision ever.
On the ride looking up before it takes off: this is the worst decision ever.
i remember my obsession with this channel as a child. it’s like a blast to the past
I’m so glad I got the chance to ride this back in 2007. Haven’t been to cedar point since
Got 2 front row rides last summer just a week or two before the incident. So glad I got this credit. It broke down 4 times while waiting for it. 2 hours of waiting WITH flash passes. Crazy. Worth it though.

this takes me back to the old coaster force videos, i miss the early 2010's
I rode it with my son Steven around 2010 or 2011 & it was a serious adrenaline rush along with the fantastic Millennium Force roller coaster.
Don’t forget the Magnum
I rode this once in October of 2019 and it is probably the most memorable roller coaster I’ve ever ridden.

@@solidsnake5126 some say its going to be extended
@@solidsnake5126no one said that, lmfao
Same
@@solidsnake5126 no it’s not permanent gone u jus mad u can’t handle it
This ride was spectacular and so terrifying at the same time! R.I.P TTD
This is so nostalgic to watch.
After watching povs for 10 years. Riding this was surreal

I had a chance to ride Top Thrill Dragster during my trip to Sandusky back in July of 2019.
Ahhh I see you all have been waiting to post this 👀 lmao, I really hope the ride is “re-imagined” and not completely taken down. it’s up high on my bucket list of coasters
There's one like it but taller at six flags in New Jersey
@@ryandg2008 ttd is still better honestly. Much smoother especially since the launch track is so much lower to the ground. They are hardly different in terms of vertical drop.
Also more comfortable restraints on ttd.
@@ryandg2008 yeah Kingda Ka is also on my bucket list! I think both rides will offer similar but different experiences

I bet CP will keep the theme
Craziest ride iv ever been on.

WATCHING THIS MADE MY TOES CURL.
Greatest 17 seconds you'll ever experience
i wonder what they're going to turn it into
Nothing beats the theming on this ride.
Since videos make fast things look slower when it actually looks fast on video you know that shit is quick
Holy schmole! I've ridden some crazy stuff, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to ride this.
I rode this ride 5 times in a row when we came up on this amusement park on accident when moving to Canada lol mom and dad did it cause we had been on the road for three days moving with two uhails and me and my three brothers and we needed some fun and a break best ride in my childhood
MEMORIES THAT LAST A LIFETIME. COME BACK TO OHIO SOON PLEASE
Does he have a whole cedar point playlist ?

Your only first time? There can be others?
@@juliebraden6911 I've only been to Cedar Point once so far. Hoping to go back in the future but I live in Florida.
Amazing! I got to ride Red Force this summer which was incredible, so bet TTD was an experience indeed! Sorry to see it go.
oh man I got anxiety just watching this
Is that a new kiddy ride?

Omg is it true that they are taking it down and why??
More like being modified, and Google is your friend. Accident happened back in 2021. Good place to start.
As soon as the lights lit up, I would've passed out.
I ACUTALLY PASSED OUT""2
this is old right?
I had so much adrenaline the first time I rode this, it felt like I blinked and it was over 😂
Glad I rode this back in 2019! What I didn't expect was that it closed down. I know they did this to prevent any more accidents on it (from a piece of metal falling off and bonking someone on the head, for example, which happened to cause its closedown), but I feel sad it's gone now.

They’re not taking it down lol. They’re making some nice enhancements to it
@@tims4502 Oh, yeah, I saw that last time I was in Cedar Point.
I wish I could have gone on this ride.
brewstewfilms brought me here. 😁
Last time i ride it and when the launch i said holy shit😂
The six flags I go to has this same coaster but it’s call kingda ka.
True story the first time I was in line for this ride in 2009 I started to swear profusely and we in line right behind these cute girls and my friend just laughed and laughed and laughed and I literally couldn’t stop sweating and boy when that thing launched that air on my face and body felt so good. Went right back in line and said we doin it again. Haven’t been back since then.

Unbelievable memories 😢
MEE TOO I CRIED WEHN THE VIDEO STARTED
“It shows no signs of letting up…”
BIG OUCH
I feel sick just watching this
1:12 holy shit they pushed the sound limit to the extreme
“LONG LIVE THE KING!”
I rode this and I swear to god it kept going back and down 5 TIMES! And then finnaly it felt like we were stuck but then we were flying down
I want to go back to cedar point
I had the instinctive urge to pant like I was on that ride.
I remember this was in East Coaster General’s TH-cam channel RIP Top Thrill Dragster let’s hope what Cedar Point can do to reimagine this ride
My guy's holding on to this camera with an iron grip lol
dragster 2 going to be longer which is a good thing...
who's here because of brewstew?
me
Me
Top Thrill Dragster closed down and I never experienced it 😭
0:34
1:11
Here from Brewstew
(1:09) I suggest, we all hold on…TIGHTLY!!!!
Couldnt ride it yesterday because somebody died on it or something 😭
I just want all of you to know that Jesus loves you so much that He died for your sins on the cross so that you may be forgiven.
he dident die for our sins he died couse romens killed him
"ladies & Gentlemen, for you Novice riders out there... The gift shop has FREE pants or shorts for the wimps out there"😎
i wish i rode this.
its coming back in 2024
Man I hardly ever got to ride this ride
@Tusky1234 Games sounds like it's being re done let's hope it might open back up.
OH MY GOD WE SHOULD OF GOT A CORNDOG
who else here from brewstews video?
"it shows no signs of letting up" top thrill shutting down this year because it keeps breaking down XD
It's been closed since the accident in August 2021. So yeah, bit late on that, and it's being modified anyways.
I'm more surprised that camera survive than you
Rip top thrill dragster 2003-2022
PLEASE BRING IT BACK :(
it will remain closed for the entire 2023 season
Lol, the rider can barely hold on to the phone. 😂
They aren't holding a "phone".
That is a GoPro or similar strapped on.
Please do not try to record on your phone on rides...
Hilarious that you think this is someone sneaking their phone on the ride.
It was a GoPro professionally filmed. Old POV's from this channel just look abit shocky, like most ride POV's from 2010
I actually feel nauseous when watching this!
This seems to scary
Brewstew
Back in the day when all people wore were white t shirts 😂
fast but short
2024 opening. Indrivetec LSM redone by Intamin.
Would if been more fun to racing someone and getting the light be important to get .
I'll take TTD over TT2 any day.
