About the Cover

Reaching a dizzying height of 420 feet and a top speed of 120 miles per hour, the Top Thrill Dragster in Sandusky, Ohio, is the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. Riders of the Top Thrill Dragster accelerate to top speed in approximately four seconds and then zoom straight up on a track that rotates 90 degrees. In Chapter 4, you will learn about rates of change like speeds.
