Roller boaster
Friday, 05 December 2003
The traditional roller coaster has a simple - yet appealing - formula. The interminable cranking of the chain as it drags the cars to the top of the hill. The simultaneous build-up of potential energy and rider excitement. The moment when time stands still and the train teeters on the brink. And finally - to an accompaniment of screams - the inevitable furious descent.
Courtesy of a groundbreaking hydraulic launch mechanism, Top Thrill Dragster, the world's fastest and highest roller coaster bucks this trend with style.
