Wow, what a wild ride this appears to be. This is probably as close as the rest of us will ever get to strapping into a top fuel dragster and hauling down the track.

I had heard about that. Thanks for the link.
My favorite parts are the sounds of nitro engines, the smoke and the Christmas tree! :D

ITS A RUSH!

I went on it a couple of years ago, it was the first year of it running so they were having major issues with it breaking down.

I am planning on going back next month so I hope to hit it a couple more times :)

Check this out, G-Force drag racing ride in Kissimmee, FL. accelerates to 120mph from a standing start in 1.8 sec. Yes 1.8 sec to 120 mph. It is brutal.

been on that ride 7 or 8 times - it's only 18 seconds, but it's great. the 'slingshot' effect is really cool - it even sounds cool when you're standing next to it in the spectator stands. looking straight down from 400' is something! i think being 2 hours from cedar point is about the only good thing about living in oh.
