After many months of waiting we finally present to you: The final video of Top Thrill Dragster! As you will notice in the video, there is no automation. This tragedy was due to the fact that knex are plastic, and cannot withstand 50+ pounds of torque. It was a sad but glorious day when we launched the coaster in front of our fans. But, despite the uselessness of the automation on Top Thrill Dragster, we have found another use for it. Stay tuned...

Awesome video! Whether the automation worked or not, it was still a great recreation.

When I went to Cedar Point the puul in and out were shaking. Even without the carts going through that part. Thats one of the reasons I didn't go on that coaster!
