padfoot714 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 No. Its not worth it. Even if it was true I wouldn't be that excited. There are many flat rides I'd love to see KI get before we ever got a coaster like TTD. Its just to darn short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvo Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I don't think Dragster fits in Kings Island's atmosphere. It seems too extravagant. But for the record, it may be short, but it really is a phenomenal ride and well worth a decent wait in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Actually, I have a love/hate relationship with TTD because it's conditioned me too much to withstand large drops to the point where Millennium Force is tame now!! Which is why the Maverick drop is so cool...in addition to the 95 degree drop, the launch lift adds a lot too! Hopefully the industry continues to innovate!!

2K Force Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I've ridden both Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster many times and I still find Millennium Force's drop to be much more fun. But thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I think Maverick's first drop is more intense than TTD's drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I dont know if you've heard this before but Dick Kinzel said that: "Magnum was the best business dicision Cedar Fair ever made, and Top Thrill Dragster was the worst business desicion Cedar Fair ever made." I surely hope they're not going to just pass their #$@% down to Kings Island to let our maintainence deal with the headache. Aswell I would have a very difficult time thinking of a place where that ride would actually fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I surely hope they're not going to just pass their #$@% down to Kings Island to let our maintainence deal with the headache.

The Interpreter Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If you think Kings Island is reeling from that, you should see what the reaction is at the park currently known as Geauga Lake.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browntggrr Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I surely hope they're not going to just pass their #$@% down to Kings Island to let our maintainence deal with the headache. Yeah, I would hate to make that decision. What is not going to be operating today, SoB or TTD? But funny enough, TTD has ran rather consistant for the last couple years now. BTW, for those who actually think it could happen, TTD is not being moved to KI, or anywhere else. You have a better chance of riding live unicorns through SoB's new loop.

Scooby_Doo Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Nope ... Yeah that surprised me too. aint noway TTD would come to KI besides who needs that kinda mental aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Actually, I am sure Mr. Kinzel would gladly sell Top Thrill Dragster to Six Flags, who could put it at Great Adventure right beside Kingda Ka. They could call it Son of Ka. And on most days, at least one of the two OUGHT to work. Right???? (Too bad Messrs Snyder and Shapiro are too smart to make the mistake Mr. Story made...buying an INTAMIN rocket coaster even though example #1 still had not proven itself reliable!)

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 ...and they'd be able to share the same parts! And then the folks from Switzerland would only have to send stuff to one place! That's a great idea. I only want TTD at KI if you put it where the top hat goes over the Eiffel Tower, which I'm sure is not feasible seeing the width of the Eiffel Tower.

KIBeast Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Oh, believe me folks. This is going to happen. It's going to be cheap to move it as well. Why? They only are removing the track which will later be welded to the Eiffel Tower... Then, Dragster's tower will have a restaurant added to the top to make it the world's first strata restaurant. By the way, did I mention that I am dating Beyonce'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably already know this.... The whole strata- restaurant idea was the hot rumor for CP before TTD was announced. Some rumors are rather funny.

flightoffear1996 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Yea TTD will not be moving to any park. I have been on TTD quite a few times and I never really thought it to be that much fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yea TTD will not be moving to any park. I have been on TTD quite a few times and I never really thought it to be that much fun anyway. I've gotta admit. I thought both Dragster and MF are like one-time things. I'd ride 'em again, but I certainly don't think a trip to CP would necessarily be lacking if I didn't ride them next time. Magnum for me, sir.

touchdown62 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Wait... I thought TTD was already at KI: Sorry it's blurry, my camera was acting up ALL day! -Hauntguy Great job with the Photoshop! Scale looks pretty good. I would like to see Kingda Ka moved so it's behind TTD, turned 180 degrees from TTD. Launch both trains at the same time toward each other and see which one makes the top hat first. I say toward each other because the closing speed would be over 240 mph. Kinda freaky. Yeah, KK is higher, but it's also faster. Could be the new racing coaster at KI.
