Top Thrill 2 Front Row POV & Off-Ride Animation Cedar Point New for 2024 Roller Coaster

  • Cedar Point, The Roller Coaster Capital of the World®, will once again redefine roller coaster innovation in 2024 with the debut of Top Thrill 2, the world’s tallest and fastest triple-launch strata roller coaster. The strata coaster, known as any roller coaster eclipsing a height of 400 feet, was first pioneered by Cedar Point in 2003. The park will build on that legacy with not one, but two, 420-foot-tall track towers, putting riders in the driver’s seat for one of the greatest races of all time.
    Riders will immerse themselves as they join the CP Racing Team and climb into one of three, sleek high-performance racing vehicles. Each of Top Thrill 2’s trains will feature open-air seating, providing heart-pounding views on the world’s first and only dual-tower vertical speedway.
    On the start, using an all-new linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch system, riders will peel out down the straightaway reaching speeds of 74 mph, racing toward the sky on Top Thrill 2’s original 420-foot-tall “top hat” tower. After experiencing weightlessness during the “rollback” - the coveted fan-favorite moment when the train’s momentum isn’t great enough to make it up and over the tower - the train shifts into reverse and into its second launch, reaching speeds of 101 mph.
    Riders will then see Cedar Point unlike ever before as they speed into a backward climb at a 90-degree angle on a new, 420-foot-tall track tower. After a second moment of weightlessness, the train shifts into drive and races forward into its third launch, clocking in at the ride’s top speed of 120 mph.
    Crossing over the top hat tower, the train decelerates momentarily before diving into a 270-degree spiral and crossing the finish line.
    “Top Thrill 2 will be the boldest and most advanced roller coaster Cedar Point has ever introduced. It’s another one-of-a-kind that could only be built at Cedar Point,” said Carrie Boldman, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “Our stamp on the industry is in roller coaster innovation, and today, that’s solidified as we redefine the strata coaster into a mega-thrill that our guests will come from far and wide to experience.”

      All the more for a much more reliable roller coaster. Keep in mind that when it first opened in 2003, it was actually the worst financial decision ever made, according to Cedar Point's CEO at the time. This model was extremely problematic from the get go, and had been something of a collosal failure. The new model was built by Vekoma, no involvement from Intamin whatsoever, whom Cedar Fair permanently severed ties with after one unreliable failure too many (trust issues be like, but I digress). I would have loved the idea of it being scrapped tho, because its existence will serve as a reminder that a woman was crippled in 2021, and she and her family have been left to pick up the pieces, unable to recover from the trauma of becoming disabled, not to mention the ongoing lawsuit that nobody has been talking about for a while now. I'm not riding a roller coaster that ruined the life of another person. I can't bring myself to.

      Capacity shouldn’t be too bad. Seems like it takes a little less than 50 seconds for the train to clear the top hat (based on the animation) if we assume it takes 10 seconds for the switch track to lock into place a 60 second dispatch time means 1,200 pph which is more than the og. Its mainly up to how fast they can load a train but I’d be surprised if they don’t hit 900-1,000 most hours.

    To be honest, I’m kind of skeptical regarding the ride experience. In my opinion, they should have made the first launch go a little faster, perhaps to 80 or 90 mph so that the train would make it further up the first tower. On the plus side though, the ride will at least be more reliable! (P.S. when it opens, regardless of how the ride turns out, please make a parody of it!)

      From a thrill standpoint, I absolutely get this. However, the more time each train spends in that swing launch section, the fewer trains per hour they can send, reducing the ride's capacity. I'd bet that was a big consideration for this ride.

    I am quite sceptical. What made Dragster so special was the powerful hydraulic launch, which they now abandoned. Sure, the ride lasts a little longer, but Dragster was never built to last long anyway. It certainly won't be bad, I just don't think it will be an improvement. Well, in terms of reliability it most likely will be at least.

      I agree, this style of coaster is about the launch, what came after was pretty much an after thought. Now it seems like they just found a alternative solution to just simply getting over the tower and not focusing on the launch itself. I also think they should have changed the name and the theme. The dragster name came specifically from the launch and how it was similar to a real top thrill dragster.... Now it's not.

    I was just thinking if the triple launch set up using the same LSM setup makes the ride more efficient to run and cheaper to maintain. They can get away with a smaller launch system because it doesn’t have to power the train over the top on the first shot. It only has to get it to about 80 then Boost backwards toward the spike and then boosting again over the top. With modern tech it might be simpler and more reliable than having one big launch.

That is waaaay more elements than kings ka and original dragster. Smh

    This new ride is gonna be all about sustained forces. Continuous seconds of acceleration; continuous seconds of floater airtime on the "rollback" and spike. By the time you get to the third launch, that's a few seconds of pure speed, flying through at 100+ MPH, with no airtime hills or anything to distract you.

It's the best course of action for everyone, just not for me because now I have to drive 7 hours to Great Adventure to get the same experience it delivered. Im sure this will probably have better "wind in your face" because of the more prolonged speed throughout the 3rd launch and it looks super fun and rerideable.

    This rollback on the video is an obvious low ball offer to us to set our bar to a certain level only to be pleasantly pleased when reality comes. If a launch at 115 to 120 , depending on how the old dragster was running, got us rollback from the top with heavy trains....a 74 mph launch with lighter trains should get a rollback from 60 to 75 percent up the track. Which is wayyyy more than this animation shows us. I'm thinking the nose of the train will be between the 2nd junction between first red track and next white track to that next junction of white to red. Even if it's a little below the junction if first red track......thats well above what this is showing us. This is going to be lit like a BBQ grill on July 4th
