:) I expect they have strict rules against it too ! Flying phones at 90mph are no good for anyone behind you.

Looks like a mean drop on that ride.

It should be covered under warranty unless there's a G force trauma clause. Since your in Sandusky you should take a short ride to Norwalk and check out some real top fuelers..

It's the tallest version of that coaster style, and current record holder for world's tallest roller coaster, at 456 feet. Prior to Kingda Ka, Top Thrill Dragster held the record, at 420 feet. Both coasters were built by the same company.

Full disclosure: I haven't been on either, so I'm not claiming bragging rights.

Thanks! I’ve ridden the Cedar Point one twice. It is fun. Acceleration is amazing.
