Top Thrill Dragster

After a few years of work, and the expenditure of twenty-five million dollars, Dragster opened on May 4, 2003.

Top Thrill Dragster was the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster until May 2005 when Six Flags Great Adventure's Kingda Ka opened.  That ride is nearly identical to Dragster, but is about eight miles-per-hour faster and three dozen feet taller than this ride.
