[Tour2ma]

Six Flags Great Adventure... in New Joysee... trumping Cedar Point's "Top Thrill Dragster".

Launch from standing start to 128 mph...
Go vertical and do 1/4 roll...
Crest at 456 ft...
Go vertical and do 3/4 roll on way down... and
A camel hump just for a little air time...

I am so there...

Pssssh... Top thrill was the first to do it, they're just copying it and making a feet taller, now if it were 100 feet taller now ;)

Never mind, I resized the pics and just cannot get it to post correctly for some reason. They are showing up as a bmp, would changing them to jpeg help?

Oh my word. That's insane! :eek:


You couldn't pay me enough to ride that thing!

[MSkeezer]

Crap! I think I just threw up a little inside my mouth...

[glemay]

I've been on Top Thrill and I still want more.:D

[Mjr7531]

I've been on Top thrill, Millinium Force, Mantis, Magnum, Raptor, and a bunch more, all in one day, wooo, that was one helluva day.
Top Thrill was awesome, holy crud, your cheeks are flappin' in wind...
It's great stuff :)

yes they are fun but 130 in a car is fun too. i have a car that can do 120 in 3rd and it has 2 more gears i will not say the maximun speed i have reached in the car but it is above 130 but i do love going to ohio

[Mjr7531]

The only problem with that is, you have a windshield and stuff, plus it's illegal, this is perfectly safe and you only have a lap-bar ;)

Wow.... It's not a roller coaster IMO, it's a thrill ride, but what a ride.

It's so fast that the ride is literally a blur due to the tearing. First time I've ever worried about my contact lenses being blown out of my eyes.

I can only remember the acceleration, looking straight down from 450 feet and then bottoming out and the run back to the station.

Obviously I need more rides... :D

I wish I could get the pic I have of this girl that rode that beast to post, lets just say that she was just a tad wet when she got off the ride. :D

For the curious... Download is VERY slow, but video is good quality for a "sneak".

Bunch of kids, so obviously there's plenty of profanity.. cause it's cool to cuss.

Yeah it would definatly be scary. Video took quite a while to download (being only 8 mb...) but it was pretty cool - aside from the kids riding it.
