Tallest Roller Coaster in the World

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dept.

Coaster Art Guy writes "Cedar Point amusement park unveiled the tallest roller coaster in the world today. Top Thrill Dragster launches you from 0 to 120 MPH in 4 seconds via a hydraulic launch. The dragster looking like cars take you straight up a 420 foot tower, into a top hat element, and twists you 270 degrees straight down. All in about 20 seconds from start to finish. How about that one? Also check out the POV video here Quicktime or here Windows Media Player."

    The metric system may be 'new fangled' but it's superior to the imperial system in every conceivable way.
