Just rode Top Thrill Dragster yesterday at Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio.
For those that dont know its a roller coaster that does 120MPH in 3 seconds and launches you 400 feet into the sky. The launch engine is 15,000 HP of hydraulics.

After getting strapped into the train it moves to a staging area, the christmas tree flashes yellow then green:
OMG The train accelarates to 120+ in three seconds. Your face feels like it is going to come off. The amount of thrust and pressure on your body is insane, kind of like getting hit by a raging bull.
It climbs into the sky and your body goes weightless. You then dive straight down back to earth at over 100MPH.
The experience is unbelievable, even my wife loved it.
Everyone who reads this must go to Cedar Point and experience this. I think its safe to say that this is the highest accelaration that any of us will ever feel in our lives in a land based vehicle unless you race a funny car or real top fuel dragster.
Now if someone can elighten me how to get my 1995 Z28 to hit 120 MPH in three seconds.
Damn what a rush.
