		And yes it's true that CO2 cars are run two at a time in a race down a track just as those big thunderous top fuel dragsters are.
		CO2 powered cars run on the same principle that propels rocket or jet powered land speed record vehicles.

	Six Flags Great Adventure Plans to Top Dragster's Records
		The OSHR is bearable on the Intamin rockets, but not the most comfortable, and certainly not as comfortable and thrilling as Dragster's T-Bar.

	Nojespark.net - The guide to North European amusement parks
		And then in 2003 Intamin sold Cedar Point the 128 meters tall Top Thrill Dragster rocket coaster, which was the tallest ride until 2005, when a larger scale rocket opened in SF Great America.
		Intamin has a reputation of building quality rides that are very durable, but they're also often a bit pricier than the alternatives from other companies.
		Intamin is among the largest rollercoaster manufacturers today, but they also sell big water rides and free fall towers.
