Cedar Park already has one that’s about 400 feet high. Why are they calling this the world’s tallest if it’s 215 feet high?

Different kind of coaster. The 400 footer is the Top Thrill Dragster which accelerates you to 100mph at the start to go up and over the 427 foot hill.

From what I understand, the dive coaster suspends you for a moment as you dangle over the drop before releasing you.

For my money, the best coaster there is the Millennium Force which is more of a traditional ride that takes you to 327 feet. The Magnum XL 200 is no slouch either at 205 feet.

I like all the rides at Cedar Point...well, except the woodies...really appreciate the art and engineering but cannot tolerate the ride!

Our launch speed was 122 mph one one TTD launch...
