That is the best explanation of that ride I have ever heard.

Kingda Ka, sorry, Dragster just owns you in every possible way. The restraints, smoothness, hype and atmosphere make Dragster a thousand times more fun to ride. Sorry if you don't get how that makes it a LOT better, I guess you just need to check them both out yourself to see what I mean!
While I haven't ridden KK, and it's been 4 years since TTD, I still love to go over there and watch it. Also, the restraints is a good point. Why would they add OSTR's on KK...

Mean Streak isn't great. It needs to be either scrapped, retracked yearly, or get new trains or something.

Superman: Ultimate Flight is a pretty fun ride, but it can't be compared to anything at Cedar Point.
I think Cedar Point needs a flying coaster, especially one with a pretzel. Many know my story with the S:UF pretzel loop and how much I love it.

Wrong. They need to replace the
trains with floorless cars. In theory, it's a very simple change. I think the track size should be the same, the cars bending radius can't be an issue because the stand up trains are taller, so there would be plenty of room for the floorless cars. The physics and performance can't be THAT much of a difference, and could at least just be tested.

Um. Like it's been explained before, TTD has great lap restrains, KK has unnecessary shoulder restraints. And TTD's atmosphere has got to be better. I mean how could you theme a launching coaster that goes 130 miles an hour about animals and tigers, etc. when it's a much more fitting theme of drag racing.
