Rare video of Xcelerator testing at 100+mph

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Back before Xcelerator opened they were testing different speeds to see how the hydraulic launch system handled firing off trains at 100mph since they were planning on building Dragster at Cedar Point the next year. I can say from riding Xcelerator that it has by far the most airtime of any of the accelerator coasters and if you are sitting in the back you get ripped out of your seat when going over the tophat, I can't even imagine how intense the ride is at this speed. The video has a short clip of Sandor riding it (and also a clip of him getting stapled :lol:).
