    Join me on this 7 week project as I build a 20ft tall recreation of the iconic Top Thrill Dragster.
    This intermin hydrolic launch coaster opened in 2003 at Cedar Point in Ohio USA and used to be the former world record holder for the talled roller coaster standing at 420ft tall. beaten by KingDa Ka in 2005 that stands at 456ft
    This project was so tall that I had to hire scaffolding to put it up. so this ended up being one of my most expensive projects to date. so please if you enjoy the content then remember to:
    Like, Comment, Share and watch the video all the way through.
