2002 Cedar Point Top Thrill Dragster Promo Video

[@mikethewhizz5085]

The early 2000's were a friggin blast dude

[@DannytheTourist]

Yeah mang. Full of dudebros. Between this guy, the Storm Runner guy, David Hayter, and much more, I bet the voice acting industry was rolling in cash back then.

[@mikethewhizz5085]

​@NitroDanielle325 the 80s and 90s had all the space age sci fi stuff, but by 2001 the motorsport hype hit the amusement industry like a tidal wave

[@DannytheTourist]

​@@mikethewhizz5085The alien leader from Flight of Fear... unghhhh

[@ThyPandora]

The 1990s/2000s was literally an amusement park "arms race" with the industry pushing itself for amusement operators.

[@mikethewhizz5085]

​@ThyPandora as cool as that sounded, I am glad we're past that too. Maybe it's the Maverick fan boy in me talking but I think designs got a lot more creative after rides like Kingda Ka and Dragster showed their true colors so to speak. Even Falcons Flight is at least a more elaborate track design than them, even if I have my doubts about it

[@visionist7]

This is the cheesiest most ridiculous awesomest video ever

[@juliaandjanelol4738]

Not a word bitch

[@mikethewhizz5085]

"You can breathe now" is a cheeky reference to the fact that this mightve been the only large coaster cedar point has built that was short enough in time for the average person to hold their breath through the entire ride

[@janeilnold5863]

I was at the park when they started building the hill on this thing. They didn’t have the track on yet so it was just the structure. My family and I were looking at it and wondering what the hell they were building because it certainly didn’t look like a roller coaster. It ended up being one of our favorite rides ever!

[@mikethewhizz5085]

I could only imagine seeing that thing from the midway on its opening year

[@ThyPandora]

@@mikethewhizz5085 I was twelve at the time, but it was friggin' insane, and people were still reeling from Millennium Force in 2000. We thought that was insane when it was built, but three seasons (and years) later, Cedar Point blew the pieces of our already blown minds away with TTD.

[@TypicalToyReviews]

to think only 3 years after Millenium they build this

[@satanskitty5341]

One Wear Reviews CP always is quick to get new coasters. I mean, GateKeeper, Valravn, and Steel Vengeance all opened within only 5 years. (And of course they reopened Mantis as Rougarou in that time too)

[@dannywapbang]

Sara for Millennium Force, TOM for Top Thrill Dragster (that voice sounds nothing like Steve Blum tho.)

[@kevinwest2826]

The former ceo of cedar fair said they built it as a knee jerk reaction to six flags expanding Geauga Lake.

[@TypicalToyReviews]

@@kevinwest2826 And then they did the ultimate power move and acquired and closed Geauga Lake. Still irks me to this day as I was too young to really enjoy that park and it was a much shorter drive than to Cedar Point for me.

The voice in this reminds me of a commercial I have uploaded on my channel for a '90s toy called "Operation Bug." LMAO!

[@Mattia_Genuardi]

I imagine people in 2002 looking at this commercial and thinking: "Wow! It looks so real!" And now, when a new ride gets announced, they're all like: "Look at that graphics. Awful.."

[@armandconiglio9620]

I thought it was bad even then. Not the quality of the image, but the simulation of the speed and acceleration of the train.

[@Ratchet299]

Millennium is a much better thrill… Dragster may be taller, but the spiral on the way down ruins the momentum of the fall, and all you can see on your way down are steel beams and track. You don’t really FEEL the height. It’s a gimmick which harps back to an era where parks were more concerned about breaking records than offering full satisfying rides. I’m actually glad it’s coming down

[@muffels6410]

Introducing top thrill dragster coming into thousand 2003 to Cedar point Hot drag racing action like you’ve never had it before this race this track this Time this is The race that straps you into the driver seat and counts down to go the catapult launching system rockets you from 0 to 120mph in less than four seconds but your vehicle is like no dragster on earth and you’re 28,000foot dragstrip takes a sharp turn straight up in to the sky 420ft don’t blink from the top you will be looking 11 stories down on millennium force but not for long you’re coming back down but you’re not coming straight back down as the dragster train reaches the crust it Banks and spirals in near free fall until it reaches the braking system and rolls back into the station OK you can breathe now Instant replay leave the station launch 0 to 120mph in less than 4 seconds go straight up 420 feet look down Bank , spiral, free fall brake stop go ahead take a second to scream. wanna go again?
