Rider Safety Guide
- At Least 52"
- Loose articles of any kind are not permitted. Top Thrill Dragster, the first coaster to break the 400-foot-tall milestone, is termed a strata-coaster. Riders are launched out of the station reaching speeds of 120 mph in four seconds. Trains will travel up the 420-foot-tall hill at a 90 degree angle where the train will spiral 270 degrees in a free fall prior to crossing the finish line. Guests must be in good health to ride this ride. Lap bars must be positioned firmly against the pelvis and the muscular parts of the thighs. Seatbelts must be fastened and tightened securely. If your physical characteristics prevent the lap bar from functioning properly, or if your head cannot be supported by the seat back, you will not be permitted to ride. May not accommodate guests of exceptional size. Try the test seat at the ride entrance to ensure the seatbelt fastens and tightens one-half inch. Guests with prosthetic devices must contact the Park Operations Office prior to waiting in line or riding. Glasses must be secured with an athletic strap. Occasionally, a launched train will not clear the hill. You should not be concerned; the train will slowly return to the launch position and will be launched again. Warning: This ride contains strobe lighting. Guests using Special Access will enter via the exit.
