The first coaster to top 400 feet, adrenaline junkies can revel in being launched from 0-120 MPH in less than four seconds. Get ready to scream. Coast over to www.bing.com/DOING for more. Read more

Best ride in the park! If there's no maintenance issues the line moves quickly if they have all 5 cars going.

The fastest freakin ride ever, go from 0 to 120 miles per hour. And also up high really fast, the wait is worth it!

First ride I rode when I got here; screamed like a girl. Rode 11 of some of the best rides at Cedar Point; didn't scream once. Last ride I rode; screamed like a girl. I drove 3 hours just to ride this

The top thrill dragster is pretty terrifying your just sitting their it pulls you back and it shoots you up 300+ feet at 120+ mph. But you have to ride this if you go to cedar point.

Don't be fat or you can't ride. I'm 6' and currently 240# and barely squeezed the seat belt on. 2 bigger guys didnt make it and had to take the walk of shame. Test fit seat before getting in line

Fast as advertised and AWESOME! If you ride at night in the front seat you will be covered in smashed bugs.

If you ride front seat at night, don't smile unless you want bugs in your teeth. And if you have a wig you better have an spare.

Breaks down a lot. If you get on the platform get on the ride. We waited for 30 min on platform to ride in front car and ride broke down! Just get on it!

Absolutely thrilling ride, even if it is short and simple. If the wait is an hour or less, you should try it.

If you are a single rider and don't care where you sit, keep your ears open. You can usually jump ahead 4 or 5 cars.

Only 17 sec and it is awesome BUT it breaks down all the time, if it's too windy it won't run, so be aware that you can lose hours in line for nothing, cuz it can suddenly be shut down.

Keep arms down, head back and hold on! Nothing like 120 mph and a 420 ft tall hill to wake you up in the morning!

It's broken down more times due to "mechanical difficulties". I think it's just the CD skipping. ON THE ROOF TOP SHOUT IT OUT

Trying to get your hands up on this ride? Well, put them out like Frankenstein so sensors don't detect, and let air push them up on launch!
