I went 120 mph in 4 seconds today!OT

Got a call from Cedar Point(Ohio) yesterday.They need us to come do some inspections asap.We got there this morning and the "Top Thrill Dragster" is one of them!After the business part of the trip I say the only way I know everything is OK is if I get a ride.hehehe They havn't opened the ride to the public yet. the line was a mile long.They just took me over,put me in the front seat,and off I went!You must ride this if you get a chance!This pic is stollen from their site.

 

You're a professional roller coaster tester? Nice work if you can get it.

 

oh man...a roller coaster tester would be the dream job of dream jobs!

 

I see they got the thing running again....
Last week a whole slew of riders got hurt because the cable which throws this thing @120 fell apart and threw shrapnel all over them cutting some.
That rides is crazy! I don't think I'd like to ride that one. It's about 3 hours from me here...

Let me 'splain this to you.
Short guys can pick on short guys.
And bald guys can pick on bald guys.
And if some tall guy with hair picks on JT or I, we'll take em out at the kneecaps!

 

Better stick to ankles ...kneecaps are too high
