| It's everything Cedar Point is famous for. It's what you see everywhere you look. It's what Cedar Point has the biggest variety of. It's the highest priority of the managers. And with 16 of them, they are Cedar Point. |

| On January 9, 2003, Cedar Point announced that they would build the tallest, the fastest, and the most intense coaster on the planet. Featuring a hyrdraulic launch system (also seen on XCELERATOR at Knott's Berry Farm - Cedar Point's sister park), Top Thrill Dragster launches riders out of the station, reaching a a top thrill speed of |
| 120 miles per hour, |
| after only 4 seconds. With the momentum it has gained, your dragster-style train turns to the sky, and twists 90 degrees. Finally, after leveling out at a total altitude of 420 feet, the train turns back to earth. On its way, it features a 270 degree spiral straight down. Once it levels out with the ground, a magnetic braking system pulls the train to a safe, comfortable stop. Though the total ride time is only about 30 seconds, you will be guaranteed a thrill.
