Top Thrill Dragster will launch you from 0 to 120 in 4 seconds.

The red train moves into the launch area.

At this point the train is moving at approximately 120 miles per hour.

Reaching the bottom of the 420 foot tower.

I think this photo gives a good idea of just how massive the structure is.

Top Thrill Dragster debuted as the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster.

A look at one of the trains.

In an attempt to make this photo more interesting than it is, I'd like to mention it has been reported that later in the day, this very tire fell off of this very train. So here is a pic of it nicely attached, just waiting. Cedar Point has since replaced the train theme (engine, spoiler, tires) with an additional row of seats.

Top Thril Dragster features a 400 foot vertical drop with a 270 degree spiral.

Wheeeeee!

420 feet up and nowhere to go but down.

You cross the finish line moving almost as quickly as you were launched.

Top Thrill Dragster towers above everything.

Top Thrill Dragster opened to the public on May 4, 2003.

The wait time for a ride hovered around 4 hours on this day - just three weeks after the ride's debut.

Sunsets, Birdies, and Top Thrill Dragster.

420 feet is a long way up.

Nighttime speed.

That big train full of riders seems so small next to the ridiculously large structure.

Are you ready?

Straight up from here.

The little blur is the train.

Pretty much every train returns with this level of enthusiasm.

On the way to 120.

The radar shows an even 120 for this train.

Can you get any more free than the guy in the front?
This is why people love roller coasters.

Reflection.

420 feet high.

This is exactly what things look like at 120 miles per hour.
