SANDUSKY, Ohio — Cedar Point announced Tuesday the Top Thrill Dragster will be retired.
The park announced the retirement of the world's first-ever strata coaster on its Twitter page.
According to Cedar Point's website, the Top Thrill Dragster ran for 19 seasons and had 18 million riders.
"Our team is hard at work, creating a new and reimagined ride experience," the website said.
More details and information will be shared at a later date according to the site.
The ride opened in 2003, setting four records: the fastest roller coaster, the tallest roller coaster drop, world's tallest complete circuit roller coaster and the tallest roller coaster, according to its website.
It is now the second tallest in the world behind the Kingda Ka roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey, which has 456-foot (139-meter) elevation.
The ride shut down last year after a metal piece came loose and hit a woman in the head while waiting in line. An investigation followed, but officials found Cedar Point didn't violate any rules related to the accident.
