The world’s second tallest roller coaster is permanently closing. Fans of the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point amusement park are saying their goodbyes on social media. The Sandusky, Ohio park announced the decision on social media and clarified that the Dragster is being retired. There was no explanation on why or what would replace the attraction. At one point, the roller coaster was both the fastest and the tallest of it’s kind int he world. (Eventually the Dragster would be replaced by the park’s own Millennium Force and other such rides around the globe.) But, for people who flocked to the shores of Lake Erie for thrills in the mid 2000s, the coaster was one of the sights that defined a long summer of funnel cake and fun rides. Cedar Point reiterated their commitment to thrills and will likely announce another attraction to take its place, but for now the Top Thrill Dragster is no-more.
