I want to know from you guys what you think is better TTD or KK, in my opinion it's ttd, I would tell you why but that would take forever so just post your thought.[;)][:D]

hehe, the never ending discussion?

I'd say TTD. From stories i've heard it's a much smoother ride, also Lapbar > OSRT's [:)]

Exactly what I think and ttd goes very slow over the hill which means it has more of a chance of rolling back and luckily i've been in one, and it felt like I was on superman the escape.

TTD all the way, I like the feeling you get when going over the top hat. Plus, it has a bigger chance of having a roll-back. In one visit, I had 4 roll-backs in a row.

TTD all the way. Theme = Sex, Lapbars = Sex, Dragster Themed Trains = Sex. It's a sex ride. word.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Right, because they're steel and boring.

TTD by a longshot! Smoother, lap bars, atmosphere and overall everything [lol].

I was also pretty lucky and got a rollback on Dragster in October 2007, which was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun. There were five of us, I had the front seat and it was like five degrees out.

I like the Kingda Ka Environment better rather than a wide open race track theme with no trees. But I don't which is better ride terms. They seem about the same, both have their positives and negatives.

Yup. Give me a ride that actually does stuff instead of a gimmicky launch and a tower any day. I doubt I'd wait more than 20 minutes for TTD if I ever went back there (KK maybe a bit longer as I haven't been on it yet).

ka rarely ever has a wait. I've waited 10 minutes tops. Whenever I see vids of TTD looks like there's a huge line. Why?
