SANDUSKY, Ohio -- Cedar Point's newest thrill ride is still closed for repairs. 
According to NewsChannel5, an amusement park spokesperson said the Top Thrill Dragster was shut down last week due to a hydraulics problem.
The Top Thrill Dragster has been closed several times since its May 1 debut. The 420-foot-high coaster is the tallest, fastest coaster in the world. The coaster apparently has a problem with its hydraulic-launch system that launches riders at 120 mph. Officials said they are not sure when the coaster will reopen.
