- Cedar Point is unleashing its new Top Thrill 2 roller coaster for the 2024 season in Sandusky, Ohio -- and this POV video shows footage of what it's like to ride the new attraction, which is a redesign of the original Top Thrill Dragster.
Top Thrill 2 features three high-speed launches between two 420-foot towers with a top speed of 120 mph.
Due to the nature of the ride, Top Thrill 2 also features a strict rider policy that prohibits all loose articles -- including cell phones. Loose-fitting shoes without a back like flip-flops or slides are restricted.
Baby, I'm ready to go!

That's such an authentic video of the ride experience without the annoying theatre!
lol thats called a vlog
The ride got more intense as did the wait times 😂
Hopefully the capacity will increase as the kinks are sorted out. Reliability should be improved and loading/unloading procedures would work out to get higher riders per hour.
At least it won’t break down like the original!
@@thomasmartin6142 is that a personal guarantee? 😂
I am guessing you haven't seen or heard about the unique station with the moving track that helps speed up the wait times.
Your comment didn’t age well…. TT2 down indefinitely.
Looks so fun, I'm excited to ride!!!
Awesome Elizabeth you survived. Its loads of fun.
The air time hair...EPIC
I am planning a solo trip to cedars point . Have fun all by myself lol.
Same 😂
OMG! I could never!
Did the wind cover for the mic fall off or something?
Looks fun!
Wow now that is my kind of adrinline rush!
This ride looks absolutely amazing. The sadness of this is hoping the ride is working when I go to attend. Nothing worst than planning a trip for a particular reason for it not to be available. This would be a 8 hour drive one way.
On I went on that right not too long ago and that was the best ride ever
Will it ever open again? Serious problems I guess.
i passed out on the way to the top
I'm wondering how you record the footage. Is it allowed?
For someone who is used to riding a motorcycle at 140 with insane acceleration makes this ride seem slow but still love it although the second launch is the best since its a new feeling 100 mph backwards and up will definitely do it again
🙄
Shut up
Holy shit you are insufferable. I feel sorry for literally everyone who has had the displeasure of interacting with you in real life. My deepest condolences
🙄
who ever makes rollar coasters stop making the wind break the speed of sound
does ka still top it?
Height wise yea but I prefer the freedom top thrill offers bc it dont restraint you from airtime and throwing your hands all the way up.
@@wowyzowy1895 The ride operators definitely don't like when you have your hands up, lol. Once you launch there's nothing they can do, but I was getting yelled at over the intercom and didn't realize it because I had my hands up before launch😂
lol ka never topped it in the first play
Channel 3 knew exactly what they were doing
creep
And God bless them for it

What is the purpose of this redesign genuine question
Rollbacks were so popular for this ride they redesigned it so that way everyone gets to experience a rollback.
@@michaelcrozier683 strange that theyd go out their way to spend money on that
The original Hydraulic launch was unreliable and added a lot of downtime to the ride as well as having bad capacity, not to mention the accident a few years back where a loose piece of metal struck a woman waiting in line as it launched.
So the new launch system using magnets is more reliable, the new loading system is more efficient and the entire mechanism has fewer moving parts so its safer.
The original hydraulic launch had lots of moving parts and was unreliable, it would break down often. An electromagnetic launch is far more efficient since it has no moving parts.
Also, to give everyone the rollback they wanted, it does a shuttle launch.
Well TT2 did make it two weeks before being down indefinitely.
no more 120mph blast of water in the face to cool down the cable! I want a refund!
Just kidding. Ride looks fantastic, and can't wait to get my time in.
Way better than the original that 101 backwards up the spike is most amazing part
You still get quite a rush from getting up to top speed from falling down the spike and hitting the LSM again. A part of me will always miss that intense acceleration of TTD, but this ride kicks ass! The rolls before and after the tophat are much more forceful because of how much higher you sit on the tracks than in the TTD trains. I felt like I was going to get tossed out of my seat and the airtime from flying over the tophat was insane (I never felt that on TTD).
@@janeilnold5863 a lot of people are reporting the third acceleration, to 120, is incredibly shaky. Did you experience that?
@@CJDJKobe I didn't really notice the rattle personally. I've heard of the shaking too, but also that it seems to vary by train and seat.
It’s a hoot. As the designer said.
I think I need to wear maximum protection diapers if I'm going to ride this roller coaster. 🤣
Dang hopefully that shaking isn’t as bad as it looks
I've been on it the shaking isn't as bad but bad at the same time it's scary as hell tho
I was just on it, I didn’t feel the shaking. All I felt on the ride was that turn right before the top hat at 0:57. It just throws u to the side (for me it did) the ride is smooth btw
it is not at all! ride kicks ass got 2 rides today! it's better than I ever expected
i didnt feel the shaking at all
I didn't notice the rattle at all. I was more invested in being flung backwards on the second launch and getting up to full speed from falling back down the spike. You sit higher up on the train than TTD as well, so this ride absolutely tosses you around when it spins before and after the tophat. Very forceful without being rough. It's awesome!
PURE INSANITY 😂
Too bad it did not last long, ride is already broken smh
Closed for technical problems? I’m no expert but I definitely saw something wobble 😆
"Top Thrill 2 is currently experiencing an extended closure as Zamperla (the ride’s manufacturer) completes a mechanical modification to the ride’s vehicles." -Cedar Point
They could, and should be more specific, especially because there are several people sustained injuries caused by the Top Thrill Dragster. The last person injured sustained a severe head injury resulting in disability. Cedar Point should have retire the ride completely instead of upgrading the track and calling it something new. Top Thrill Dragster was shut down off and on all day every day for maintenance. Cedar Point said that they don't expect TT2 to be closed all season, but they also don't give any estimate as to how long it will be closed. The cost to build TT2 was a whopping 25 MILLION dollars, and the ride only ran for 7 or 8 days before Cedar Point shut it down again on May 11/12 so the manufacturer could complete the mysterious "mechanical modifications" to the vehicles. It's comical. 😂
As it should. It should “wobble”
that ride is so scary
The lady in pink wasn't pretty but she did have nice 🍒.
Clicked to check out the coaster but stayed to check out those hooters.
creepy
Lol 😂
Where? Didnt notice
🫶🎢
Nope
Amazing ride and fuck you haters!
Depressing
#notcreepy
Did u 💩ur pants
Looks lame
Nope. Too many accidents happen on thrill rides.
According to The National Safety Council of America your chance of dying in a car crash is 1 in 101. According to IAPAA your chance of dying on/from a thrill ride is 1 in 15.5 million. You giving up auto transportation? Additionally for insurance purposes Amusement Parks report ALL injuries regardless of how minor. If someone steps off a carousel trips and scrapes their knee the ride host must complete an incident report. The reported # of injuries doesn't account for the severity of the injury. Ride on!
GP alert. Accidents on Thrill rides mainly happened because of staff, not the ride itself. Luckily, dying on a thrill ride is not common, car crashes are actually more common to die on than Thrill rides.
Someone a while ago got hit on this old version of this ride from a metal plate on the train. In the revamped version which is this one, they have new trains which have less parts and absolutely no welding, so there will be no metal plate coming out of the train. If this does happen out of nowhere, the new queue has covering to prevent any metal objects from hitting people in the queue.
The only problem with this logic is that most everybody has to drive/ride in a vehicle in modern society to live a normal life. That doesn’t apply to thrill rides.
And just want to clarify that I am someone that drives and also goes on thrill rides.
You're more likely to break a finger typing that comment than you are to be injured on an amusement park ride, lol.
Do you live in a bubble? Never rode in or driven a car before?
