...honestly, I don't know where folks get the courage to try rides like this. 

 

I sometimes wonder if there is an ultimate "limit" on thrill rides' height, acceleration & top speed.  Seems like the envelope keeps getting pushed every year.

I think the article is wrong, but it says 458 feet str8 up and down with speeds at 128 mph. Pretty cool if true

That's an odd link - a secure connection, like they were selling something. I cut it off.

I would be pretty PO'd if i were Cedarpoint. Thats the exact same design that they used, they didn't even try to change it. They just copied it and made it a bit taller. The Top Thrill Dragster was innovative (and probably the most kickass roller coaster I've ever been on), this is pretty much a carbon coby.
