That is a sweet article. I can't wait to get there...... I hope I get to be one of the people who doesn't make it up the first hill and has to go down backwords. Maybe it's just me, but that seems like it would be fun.

Mom- "Why do you know the name of this coaster? It's like 400 feet tall."
Nick- "456"
Mom- "And goes like 100 miles an hour"
Nick- "128"
Mom- "Your weird go take a shower.

Im not that all impressed by it, its almost exactly like TTD except for the bunny hill, 40 ft. and 8 mph more. It seems like they just wanted the record.

From what some other forums are saying, by the first hour of the day the line was about 5 hours. I also read that by the middle of the day the line was a good 7 hours long.

There's no way I would wait in that. I probably wouldn't have even gone to the park that day.

I have a very good chance of going to GAdv this summer and I have always wanted to go there before Kingda Ka. I would rather ride every roller coaster there and not get to ride Kingda Ka and just a few others. Maybe I'll go two days, one for everything else, the other just for Kingda Ka :lol:

Funny part is, they have Q-Bot (Fastlane?) for Kingda Ka. Yet no one seems to use it. I really wouldn't care what seat. 128mph is a 128mph! :)

True! I actually wouldn't want to be in the front seat, I'm sorry that would probably not feel so great. (Sorry I don't really know, I haven't ridden Dragster)

The front row on Dragster is awesome, especially if you get front seat with a rollback. :D
