There is a Malibu Gran Prix near me that has "real" dragsters you can ride. If I remember it is something like $10 for three races against 2 other cars. They strap you in. It has a 300 horsepower engine. It is on a track and brakes itself. You stage the car and accelerate when the lights go green. You shift once about one third of the way down the track. The power is unbelievable, but the real violence comes in the automatic magnetic braking. That gave me a sinus headache that lasted into the next day and I have not been back.
This ride looks like it is faster and certainly it involves more roller coaster type stuff. If you want control, try the other.
