Twin Peaks: Kingda Ka vs. Top Thrill Dragster Posted by 1 year ago. Crest the top hat long enough to see the striking views before plummeting through a 270-degree spiral straight back down to Earth. The thought process behind it would be easy, but you never know until you ride both rides. It’s like Everest and K2. it's fun to just sit down for a bit, grab a camera, practice panning shots and just watch the expression on people's faces. I also think it's a LOT better looking, as Green/Blue are soothing colors, and Yellow/Red are garish, and obnoxious colors. Two of the most compared rides in the world once again are getting compared! And the theming is both over-the-top and completely appropriate to a ride that's about acceleration. Anaconda. The stats are pretty similar and you won't notice a big difference between them in terms of overall operation.

Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka are the only coasters found in the strata. TTD is the clear winner by only having the lap bar. Formula Rossa is wickedly fast, but the top speed only lasts for a quick second and it runs through the rest of the coaster at normal freeway speeds. Kingda Ka, since it was built after the Top Thrill Dragster was purposely built to be bigger and better than the Top Thrill Dragster and it is in a bunch of small ways but one that makes it the most different is the fast that it has an extra hill. Kingda Ka also has the furthest drop in the world at a staggering 127 meters, with a maximum speed of 206 km/h! And here are more Cedar Point coaster reviews: Top Thrill Dragster has lights that count you down to take off, which yellow and green lights and race car track noises when you begin, kinda like gentlemen start your engines. Those horrible bacon strip OTSRs sure didn't help either. There are several coasters at Great Adventure that seem to suffer from this problem so I imagine it's a maintenance issue. Kingda Ka later overtook her height record at Six Flags Great Adventure in 2005. I was on Dragster in July 2003 and Kingda Ka 8/29/05. Most opinions seem to favor TTD largely because no OTSR (over the shoulder restraints). I wanna know why TTD is better besides just the fact that it has lap bars compared to KK's OTSR. Top Thrill Dragster 2003 11 . KK was just a little higher, faster, and longer. But what makes this comparison so different? If you read through the post and the 322 comments, maybe you could draw a conclusion. Kingda Ka by oomparison is an obvious copy of Dragster that doesn't pass the eye test, an extra 30 feet of height notwithstanding. Press J to jump to the feed. Thanks. Stats: Kingda Ka-Max height: 456 feet. Think of it this way when you are riding/driving a car 8 miles per hour makes it feel like you are not even moving because it is going so slow, that is what it would feel like with the extra 8 on a roller coaster as well. ( Log Out /  The location out in the lake is a classic park feel of an amusement park as they were intended to have in the 1800’s. I'm not writing this to settle the debate, but to let you decide. Ok so now leave a reply of what ride you think would win each rivalry.-SFGAman Just like every other Arrow looper in the world it is insanely rough. TTD is smoother, but the biggest difference between them (and one that nobody seems to mention) is that TTD doesn't have trim brakes on top of the tower like Ka does. But I’ll compare and contrast what I’ve observed of the two rides. 1. The thing Kingda Ka really has going for it is Zumanjaro, which is great, although you have to walk the entire length of Kingda Ka to get to it and there's zero else in that corner of the park. T is for Top Thrill Dragster. It reachs a top speed of 92 miles per hour while gaining momentum from the . I also like a coaster called Sheikra at Busch Gardens in Tampa and Firehawk at Kings Island. And the only two stratacoasters that exist. The Kingda Ka. WHO DO YOU THINK WON? Since Six Flags Great Adventure’s Kingda Ka was built second, it bested Top Thrill Dragster’s 420′ peak by 36 feet and added a second 129′ hill.
