Coasterlicious Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Cant they just make Dragster go faster?.. I mean 128mph isnt a big difference to 120.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmole Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 They could crank the speed up, but it wouldnt be safe, like I said, just a few mph makes ALL the difference, KK makes it up 36 feet of track with just 8 mph extra speed, so if TTD did say, 130 mph, it would absoloutly rocket over the top hat, and it wouldnt be comfortable - or safe, it would put too great a stress on the riders and over time, the trains.

TheStig Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I just got back from CP today and TTD is running so much better now than in the last few seasons. And the whole time I was there I only saw it roll back once. TTD I noticed crests the tophat at about 10-15 mph in the early morning, then during the day it slows wayyyy down to about 4-5 mph over time. I got 7 rides in the two days I was there and only once did we come close to a roll back but in reality it just took the tophat slowly.

rollocoast Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Has anybody seen Kingda Krap roll back? It not rolling back means its working properly. ... Or it's not working at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterlover420 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 ^ not really. once they get people on it, it just breezes over. Then the ride settles just so that it slows down at the top (which gets so low that it causes the daily roll back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
