<p>There was a ton of <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/cedar-points-top-thrill-dragster-media-story/">secret construction work on Top Thrill Dragster</a> during the off-season, long before anyone even knew something big was coming. </p>
<p>Then on January 9, 2003, the media was sent a press kit detailing the world&#8217;s tallest, fastest roller coaster, Top Thrill Dragster, to open in May.</p>
<p>Inside the press release folder was the following contents.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; Three 8-12” x 11” glossy printed sheets</strong><br />
 ; ; ; ; &#8211; Top Thrills!<br />
 ; ; ; ; &#8211; Cedar Point’s “Grand Slam” of the Tallest and Fastest Roller Coasters in the World<br />
 ; ; ; ; &#8211; The Sky&#8217;s the Limit!</p>
