Default 0-120 mph in 4 seconds

A ride for those of you who think the SRT isn't fast enough in the quarter mile!

I;ve always said that going a 100 mph is almost as good as sex and you could do over 25 times a day!!!!

i've been on TTD. the launch is incredible. you'll feel it stop pushing, and by then you're going uphill.

there's a big digital speedo next to the track. the first time we rode it during the day we hit 121. rode it again around 11 pm and we hit 126.

I used to live in ohio and went there ever summer TTD is the third best ride there and the first time I rode it we clocked 124 mph and when we got to the top it stoped and rolled back down backwards and they re-launched us now that was fun!!

One of the very first rides I head for when I go to Cedar Point.

Definitely, when my girlfriend and I go we rent one of the cabins and stay for the weekend and buy passes to get in one hour before the general public and its worth it there is not as many people as you would think there would be having those passes is great for TTD since once the gates open there is at least a 1 hour wait. Plus all the 10 min. shutdowns I almost always experience but its worth it.

It's pretty much the same exact ride as Kindga Ka @ Six Flags New Jersey. It's quite a thrill. I sat in the front of the ride and tears were forced out of my eyes

Looks like a steam catapult on a aircraft carier. I think they use 130 mph now.

Been there. My wife went on it. They say waiting in line that sometimes it doesn't make it all the way up and comes back down.

I just like the fact that there's a christmas tree and the ride makes noises like a top fuel dragster taking off. Probably the closest I'll ever get to "being there"

Ahhh.. the fun! I've been fortunate my whole life to only live ~2 hours away from it, so it's a definite trip with the family / friends every year !! :] That ride is FUN! But it's over before you know it since you're going so fast..

It's also EXTREMELEY TALL! The drop is SCARY!

I live 70 miles away from Cedar Point and can't get any of my family to go on TTD with me and I won't wait 2 hours by myself. It's fun to sit in the bleachers that they built at the starting line and watch the peoples faces when the ride takes off. If you haven't seen the ride in person yet you won't believe your eyes. If you go be sure to watch the cable driven launch mechanism work.

I always said that if you built a ride that was 500 ft tall and you would walk over to a sheer drop off and an attendant would put his foot in your back pushing you off the edge to the concrete below, there would be a line formed to do it.

Thanks sonoronos

What an incredible ride. I rode on it when it was first opened and you had to wait in line for 2 hours to get on which was still worth it. I always thought it was pretty funny that the train looked like it was going to stop and roll backwards at the top.
