have you ever tried explaining yourself

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Looks like Top-Thrill Dragster, the one coaster I refused to go on the last time I went to Cedar Point a couple years back. I said it was because the lines were too long for a thirty second ride, but the real reason is that I like to live
Also, if you're lucky, sometimes the initial thrust isn't enough and the train falls backwards just before it reaches the crest.

Just took a poll: my kids say it was down for maintenance when we were there. (Which means it's not all that new of a ride -- it's been three years since we went to Cedar Point last.)

Cedar Point had a few of the tallest and fastest coasters in the world.
I've been on all except Top-Thrill Dragster.
If I recall correctly, TTD goes from 0 - 100 MPH in just under 3 seconds, by way of magnetic acceleration and hits a 87 degree climb.
And yeah, I'd ride it. I wonder what it would be like at night?
