 | | Guests will be able to take their first ride on this amazing new “strata-coaster” when Cedar Point revs up for the 2003 season in May. In the meantime, roller coaster enthusiasts can get a temporary thrill “fix” by logging on to cedarpoint.com for continual updates. |
 | | Cedar Point was the first park ever to introduce a roller coaster over 200 feet tall in 1989 with the debut of the venerable Magnum XL-200 at 205 feet; and was the first park to go beyond the 300-foot-tall threshold on a coaster in 2000 with the ultra-popular Millennium Force, which looms 310 feet tall. |
 | | Top Thrill Dragster will be a coaster of epic proportions: with an extraordinary 420-foot-tall first hill at a 90-degree incline, speeds of 120 mph over 2,800 feet of track and a twisting first drop of 400 feet at an imposing 90-degree angle, this colossal thriller will wow riders with its dramatic world-record-breaking dimensions. |
