Top Thrill Dragster is a steel accelerator roller coaster built by Intamin at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.
This coaster is currently being transformed into something new. Should be interesting to see what it becomes. This is old footage from 2019 shot with the old Pivothead glasses so the sound quality is pretty bad.

I’m in love with this coaster. I’m very upset that the original experience is gone but I’m just glad they’re keeping it and creating a new ride experience. It debuted in May 2003, the same month and year I was born❤️.
the sound effects add so much i my opinion. i hope they have sound for the new version. and a sweet light package.
I hate I didn’t get to experience TTD in the original version. I’ll have to go when the new one opens.
Im glad i got to expeerience it back when it had constant rollbacks, got to experience one myself. plus a free second launch!
its so windy the mic on the camera committed suicide
That outro is so nostalgic
