what our king Dakar and Top Thrill Dragster kinderga-- and Top Thrill
Dragster are both steel accelerator coast is
built by the same manufacturer intimate both coasts feature a hydraulic launch
system where cable pulls the riders along the track at extremely high speeds
these speeds enable both roads to be the only strata coasters that is coasts that
measure over 400 feet high in existence the two rights have a line in common
both rides are very similar in design and shape both feature initial launch a
90 degree incline a top-hat element and a 270 degree downward spiral for Top
Thrill Dragster that sends the ride the train travels over the magnetic brakes
and comes to a standstill however on kill occur at the bottom of
the main drop the riders ascend another hill on the other side of this second
hill derided fuss over the magnetic brakes and finally come to rest king
dhaka was constructed in 2005 and currently owns three rollercoaster world
records it's the world's tallest rollercoaster in two senses and has the
world's tallest drop it also earned a record for the fastest roller coaster in
the world until it was beaten in 2010 by formula Rossa and other intamin coaster
located in Abu Dhabi the riders hub is located in Six Flags Great Adventure in
the United States and cost a large sum of 25 billion US dollars to build it
also has a very peculiar theme the ride esteemed is a mythical Tiger and this
was decided to be because the Tigers that lived in the adjacent exhibit the
right station and sign features a Nepalese style while the Q line sees
bamboo justified the jungle theme the right is a drop tower which had been
attached to the structure the tower called zoom and djaro drop of doom is
towards largest drop tower measuring one hundred and twenty six
meters high this opened in 2014 nine years after the coaster itself Top
Thrill Dragster on the other hand was constructed in 2003 and is located in
Cedar Point another park in the United States upon completion the rider in the
same four records indicated however these are all stripped away when King
Burkhart debuted two years later the royal esteem threw out a Top Fuel Drag
Racing where riders embark on to a car and sent flying around the track in a
drag racing fashion before the launch of the ride occurs riders accounted down by
Christmas tree light similar to the ones found on drag strips this ride cost a
total of 25 million US dollars to build kinga car measures 139 meters high and
has a slightly smaller drop of 127 meters this is due to the top hat
element the track has a length of 950 meters equated to the short ride type
twenty-eight seconds at the peak of the launch while is a traveling an immense
speed of 128 miles per hour this speed is achieved it only 3.5 seconds Top
Thrill Dragster measures 130 metres tall and has a 10 meter smaller drop of 120
meters the track is 850 metres long leading again to the short ride tire
very thirty second just before the vertical hill divided - channelling at
speeds of 120 miles per hour this is achieved in 3.8 seconds through
use of a huge hydraulic launch motor comparing the specs we see that king
Dakar is taller faster and longer however due to this extra speed it
completes the ride two seconds faster than its smaller counterpart the trains
only tried to the same amount of people each train consists of nine rows of two
riders split across five cars leading to 18 riders per car interestingly the
trains are top storage axes use lap Barras traits while King Dakar uses
over-the-shoulder restraints this decision was most likely made by the
park themselves rather than the manufacturer another interesting
difference is the throughput of each ride King Pakal posted a throughput of
1,400 riders per hour while Top Thrill Dragster seems to lag behind with only
1000 miles per hour intimate launch coasters off to have a
large amount of downtime compared to other rides due to the sheer height of
both rides both coaches cannot operate in unfavorable weather conditions such
as rain or high-speed winds this often leads to the coast is being down for
long periods of time in rainy seasons Top Thrill Dragster always ranks higher
than its twin in the golden ticket Awards many enthusiasts prefer the
launch of Top Thrill Dragster stating that it is smoother and more
enjoyable due to the lap bar restraints although when you riding the car you are
riding tallest rollercoaster in existence which do you prefer and yes
these coasters do roll back when they don't make you over the hill but it's
perfectly safe
