This short coaster, located at Cedar Point, mimics the feeling of drag car racing, if drag car racing had a massive peak involved that is. Top Thrill Dragster launches riders from 0 mph to 120 mph in mere seconds, up a steel track that climbs 420 feet high at a 90-degree angle.

On the way back down, riders will careen toward the ground at the same sheer drop, with the added excitement of a spiraling twist. The ride comes to an abrupt halt shortly afterward, bringing the total ride time of the Top Thrill Dragster to a short but exciting 17 seconds.
