Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooope. God made me human for a reason: I was born to be a land lover. As in, "I'm staying on the ground. Forever. Deal with it."

Did they ever get the Dragster to work properly? I was there in July and was told it was still in the prototype stage. The train almost made it over the hill but didn't. Instead the train and the people in it went back down the hill they came from backwards. It was scary to watch. (Probably exciting as hell to be on tho).

I love 'Collosus' at Magic Mountain. That is such a fun park for a rollercoaster nut like me!

the great thing about cedar point is that it is virtualy all coasters.

And they are all great coasters.

No waiting on the old coasters like the bluestreak

If you go to the web site you listed..and click on the larger image button for that picture....it shows that is is 1 of 99 pictures.....Push the next button....well this is what I got. It's from the State Fair of Texas, I think. When I go there to see the US Marine Marching Band...and walk past Big Tex....I will be laughing my head off.

I've been on "Dragster" for one of those reverse trips. It was alot more fun going down backwards because you couldn't see what was coming. We did get to go through two launches though.

We go to Ohio every year and my kids always insist on going to Cedar Point. They were disappointed that they couldn't get on the Dragster. It was shut down that day after the unfortunate incident.
