SANDUSKY, Ohio-- It might not be just excitement that has people hopping up and down while waiting to ride the world's tallest roller coaster at Cedar Point.

Park workers are handing out bathroom passes to people in line for the new Top Thrill Dragster. Some waited for more than four hours to ride it when it opened Sunday, according to park officials.
A spokesman for the Ohio amusement park says the passes allow people waiting in line to leave for the bathroom without losing their place.

Top Thrill Dragster shoots riders up and over a steep 420-foot hill, then sends them plummeting back to earth.

Cedar Point plans to increase the number of trains on the coaster from three to five. Each train carries 16 passengers.
