Having been on both, I agree with the majority and perfer TTD.
1. Its smoother
2. I perfer its theme, the racing theme is awesome and its cars (used to) look fantastic.
3. Its interegated into the park much better. TTD stands in the midway and guests can walk around the ride, while Kingda Ka is sort of tucked away in the corner.

Have you actually been on either? You sound ten years old and your answers are stupid.
I know you’d be older and maybe more mature now, but I felt a need to reply lol

I’m sorry but when a ride is that fast and tall, I doubt OTSR’s will make it “tamer”

Seriously, height and speed should not be reasons to vote for Kingda Ka. 8 mph faster, 36′ higher, and just an 18′ larger drop cannot be felt when going over 100 mph and higher than 400′. So, it is a bit odd to see a lot of people using those reasons when it really makes no sense on how that small measure would affect a ride.

Plus, 36′ is just 7.89% of TTD’s height. Here are examples of nonsense statements:

-Griffon is better because it is 5′ taller than SkeiKra and nobody states that because it is nonsense.

-Xcelerator is better than Storm Runner since it is taller and faster, even though Xcelerator is 55′ taller than Storm Runner, Storm Runner has a 180′ drop which is about the same as Xcelerator’s. Plus, Storm Runner is just 7 mph slower than Xcelerator

-Batman is better than Flight Deck (@ CGA) since it is 3′ taller

-[Insert SLC here] is better than Batman since it is 4′ higher

If you think a coaster slightly higher, the reasons above prove you wrong.

king da ka may be faster and taller, but, lemme just say top thrill dragster has better theme and the NO shoulder restraint. also king da ka breaks down much more.

Overall, i thing top thrill dragster is the better coaster.

I havent been on kingda ka yet, but i think i would like ttd a lot better anyways. I dont think i would notice the height and speed difference, the view seems to be better on ttd and the restraits seem to be a bit more free and for those who think kingda ka isnt a copy……. IT IS!!!! Six Flags GA wasnt thinking about building a strata coaster until they found out cedar point was. They even used ttd’s blueprints to build it. All six flags does is copy copy copy. BUTT, i would give it to six flags for having some great B&M coasters

I think kingka da is better and here’s why

1. kingda ka has a stronger launch
2. kingda ka is faster
3.kingda ka is taller
4.at the top of the kingda ka you fall into your restraints which is really cool
5. The hill at the end is amazing when you experience 0 g forces
6. I think being free to move your upper body on the ttd isn’t as big of a thrill as being able to come out of your seat (you can’t on the ttd because of the lap bar).
-Note- I’ve only rode the kingda ka
