how fast do you go on the top thrill dragster
Top Thrill Dragster, at Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio, is no exception. However, instead of relying on a chain or cable to laboriously pull the coaster up its first hill -â in this case, a 420-ft hill â Top Thrill Dragster relies on kinetic energy to propel coasters up its hill in mere seconds. Top Thrill Dragster accelerates coaster trains from zero to 120 mph in about 4 sec. At that speed, coasters have just enough kinetic energy to scale that monstrous hill. From there, gravity pulls the coaster down the other side of the hill, where the coaster once again reaches speeds of about 120 mph.
