Okay just two is too little. Not just those two. I’m talking a rollback on ANY launcher coaster.
I always hear people say TTD is better than kingda ka whenever a comparison is brought up between the two, yet I've never actually known why. On paper kingda ka sounds better, because it's taller and faster and lasts longer, but people usually say TTD is better. I'm lost on this, so what's your reason why?
Edit: misspelled Top thrill dragster's acronym. Big dumb over here.
This story isn't really worth telling but I am going to tell it anyway because I'm proscatinating on my homework. We were learning about velocity and acceleration today in physics class. My teacher then asked if any of us had heard of Cedar point, and I was only one of three students out of thirty that raised their hand (We live in Virginia, ok, give the people a break). He then showed us a POV video of Top Thrill Dragster. Despite my teacher explaining the science of the launch and that it reaches a top speed of 120 before reaching the hill, one girl said, "People would wait in line for hours for a ride that short?" Obviously, she doesn't understand how intense a 120 mph launch feels like. Then we watched a bunch of videos of Top Thrill Dragster rolling back and then the bell rang. Anyways that's my story, and you're probably wondering why I told this story but believe me, this made my boring, redundant high school day slightly more exciting.
