Pound sterling xtreme 15, screw the Euro lol.

as stupid said its ?????????20-30 to get in, but then you have to add on food n merchandise. Then your looking more around the ?????????50-60 mark per person.

I also think id prefer to pay $27 to ride TTD than that thing

Geeze, another park lying on speeds. This thing isn't scheduled to go about 120 mph.

This is a quote I got from another website. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but it's supposed to be from the Orlando Sentinel.

Quote:
KISSIMMEE -- Is the "fastest amusement ride in the world" actually the fastest?

The G-Force Top Fuel Drag Race, Old Town's newest attraction, is said to be the fastest, shooting riders from zero to 115 mph in a mere 2 seconds.

"That's all advertising and promotion," said Michael Rinehart, operations and management consultant with the state Bureau of Fair Rides Inspection. "We don't support it or verify it on any form."

The G-Force Web site makes the "fastest" assertion, but K. Trevor Thompson, vice president of operations for the group that manages the ride, clarified the contention by saying it's the fastest "accelerating" ride.

G-Force isn't the only thrill ride billed as the fastest. The Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, is trumpeted as the "tallest and the fastest roller coaster in the universe."

Despite such lofty claims, no national or international organization officially tracks the fastest or tallest ride on the planet, experts say.

So, according to that, this ride isn't the "fastest". It's just the "fastest excellerating".
