Description
After leaving the station, the train will pass over a switch and make an S-turn to the right, onto the launch track. Once the switch changes positions behind the train, the train will launch forward towards the 420-foot (130 m) top hat element at 74 mph (119 km/h), rolling back partway up the tower. Reaching the launch track again, the train will launch in reverse at 101 mph (163 km/h), past the station, and climb a 420-foot (130 m) vertical spike in reverse. Rolling forward onto the launch track for the third launch, the train will accelerate to 120 mph (190 km/h) and ascend at a 90-degree angle, twist 90 degrees clockwise, and climb over the top hat. Upon descending, the track will twist 270 degrees before leveling out, allowing the train to be stopped by the magnetic brakes. The switch track will then reset to allow another train to launch.
With this re-do of the original Top Thrill Dragster, one can argue that Zamperla has become a legit coaster manufacturer that can be more than just wild mice or flat rides.
This is a massive improvement over the original. It now feels like a complete ride.
I completely agree
I still wish it were longer
Gets over that top hat fast wow
Thanks for giving us the awesome povs throughout the years!
judging by the wind noise, this ride is nuts
Someone said.....WTF!😅.....LMAO😂
Lake ErrIeee
😂😂
I'm still surprised at how this thing flies over the top hat. I am assuming you get some ejector when it hits the top.
Can confirm, you find yourself being particularly thankful for the restraint on this one
The engineers at Zamperla are somewhere laughing because everyone thought they couldn’t pull it off 💯
Let’s see now how long it’s gonna be open until it breaks again.
@@andersonsoarescavalcante743it isnt intamin anymore my guy 😂
Who ever thought that when they announced their new Lightning trains prior and talked of the speeds they can do?
@@Thatonerandomguy1331 Hello. I just got back to say that it’s closed. Zamperla closed it. 😂😂😂
It literally lasted 10 days after my comment. 😂😂😂
James C never disappoints!
Facts
@@Coastainment mhm
Must of watched at least 20 TT2 povs and this IS the best one! Excellent!!
Who is James C
@@nightsweats810 that's my joke lol
Classic James C W
Also it seems you go pretty high on that rollback
This was the pov I’ve been wanting to see lol, the seats look so comfortable! At 2:35 I burst out laughing lmao, great reaction, can’t wait to ride this!
The up-to-down Spike transition is a savory experience. The run up, over & down the Top Hat is faster & more intense than Dragster. Especially the twist going down. The increased speed coupled with higher seating really flings you around! A more intense "bottoming out" too. Fun Times!
At what point do all us haters tell Zamperla we were wrong? I will admit that I was definitely one of them in the beginning. Didn't think they could pull it off. My trip is booked for the 3rd week of August. If TT2 has gone all summer without any real issues and we get to tear it up for the 3 days we are in town. My brother and I vowed to both hand write a letter of apology to the team at Zamperla.
I could honestly say I had no doubts until all the public concern started building up. Whether or not they’re new to this size ride, the technology is tried and true. All the operational issues that plagued the wild mouse seem to be an aspect no matter what size the ride is. One could even argue that the wild mouse is more complex due to the number of cars running at once.
Don't jinx it MF
Considering the ride is under extended closure and requires modification maybe the haters were right if this continues to be an issue.
Yeaaaahhhh about that
It really is an epic coaster. I've rode it three times so far. Going back tomorrow for another ride or two at the very least. This highly exceeded my expectations!
Going backwards and up so high…The hang ! … must be simply breathtaking. ❤
So pumped to ride it!!!!!
Classic Cedar Point 😊
Absolutely insane!
And he’s back!!
Excellent as always sir! 👍
Excellent Pov!!!
best povs on youtube keep it up
That line is loooong
It always was🤣
The wait to get through the metal detectors was longer than the wait itself today at Prestige preview.
with half the trains, more than triple the cycle time, multiple periods of downtime, the "pay for lockers to ride" safety policy, and metal detectors that malfunction when the train launches... yeah, it's gonna be a long line forever. but hey, it'll clear up the lines at other coasters.
@@protowave cedar point rides are always long right when the ride opens, and this is no different. The hourly capacity isn’t even that much worse than ttd, and assuming it doesn’t break down for full weeks, it will be an improvement.
@@bman2217 it broke down 3 times on media day lol
Amazing POV thank you! Do you think you can do one from the backseat? I'm so curious!
love a james c pov 🔥
Wow super leuke mooie achtbaan❤😅😊
I will ride this awesome coaster one day!
Me too.
Closed indefinitely 😂
I’m most pumped for the reverse launch! The air time on the spike looks wild and that train rips over the top hat. Excited to get down there
Yeah when you are in the back you float for like 10 seconds going up and down
i was Terrified the whole time riding this lol
I miss the old loading station.
The what the f*** had me dying
Lake Erie!
Looks good
Even the camera is graying out a little bit XD nice vid
A little note: TT2 seems to dispatch in 90 seconds here, at that rate it has a real capacity of 800 people per hour. I hope as the crew gets used to running the ride this increases. If trains can dispatch on the holding track to the transfer while a train is on the course the capacity should be able to increase.
Was there today and they are able to load 2 cars at a time while the 3rd is transferring to runway.. It also takes them half the time to load and secure each train vs the old cars..
Wow so the rollback is now intentional, that’s cool!
I rode it today! It was amazing!
What do you think is the best version ttd or ttd2
@DonWilsonSr. The new one all the way! The extra ride time and more reliability alone makes it superior! We'll see how much it breaks down when it opens next Saturday to the public.
@@Metal_Groove45Unfortunately the forecast calls for rain, so don’t think opening weekend is gonna be very good.
Weather turned out great for opening weekend. I rode it and it is insane
@@economicfusion6065 Awesome! I’m more towards Cleveland and it was pretty overcast with some rain so I wasn’t sure
0:54 wow a rollback!
Can always count on James C to get POVs where there's no loose articles allowed.. need to get you to Phantasialand for F.L.Y.
Wednesday for us! I can’t wait!
I would like your honest opinion about the ride and which one do you think is best ttd or ttd2???
@@DonWilsonSr. I’ll let you know Wednesday! I’m thinking of doing a review on my channel for it
chad move keeping the lap bar
Thanks. My curiosity is satisfied. I will never get on this.
My friend went on it before it shut down and I was just at cedar point when they told me it was gonna be shut down for a while I went on all the other rides but I was looking forward to going on this one 😭😭
It’s just crazy that Zamperla made this
I mean they didn't design any of the top hat or supports, can't give them all the credit. Its a collab with intamin
I was there last year so of course it wasn't open yet, so I am really looking forward to the spike in the back seat next year when I come back to USA for Universal's new park opening and will also do my favourite parks like I always do starting from Florida with a hire car and driving north then east then south and dumping car in LA to fly home (but I might actually do it differently this time and try the Dallas to Sydney flight and just miss California altogether).
However, I will say, from a coaster enthusiast's point of view, I do understand why they couldn't add an air time hump after the top hat as they just didn't have enough room, but I wish they adjusted the launch to have a camelback instead, as some new coasters are doing. I think having a wild airtime hump both forwards and backwards during the launch would have truly made it a complete ride, but, it's still way better than it ever was now, despite the launch being a lot less powerful.
I wish the launch was faster, but the ejector over the top hat and the spike makes up for it
It looks like you fly over the top hat holy crap
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Best POV's on TH-cam!
Its my number 10 overall of my 192 credits. My number 2 at the park.
That just makes me even for excited to go. Also what's your number one at the park?
@@CedarPointfan630 Steel Vengeance which is also my No. 1 overall
@@HockeyGUY66871 definitely I'll make that my number 1 once I ride it
2:53 yeet moment
yeet
How fast is it taking the apex of that top hat? Looks like the most serious bit of sustained ejector air on any coaster.
It definitely seems way faster over the top than it used to be
Awesome! I just don't like heights.
Shoulda kept the voice “Arms down head back and hold on” sequence
That would’ve been cool if they did but my guess is they don’t need it because the initial launch isn’t intense enough on the acceleration to dislocate your shoulder anymore lol
When the dude when what the f**k I burst out in laughter 😂😂😂 LMFAO ❤
Fast dispatches!
Love the video! What camera did you film this with?
GoPro
Looks like a fun ride. It was a very good idea to include a rollback as part of the design, since the accidental ones were so popular. I always enjoy your videos, James C.
Yeah but rollbacks are cool if you go down backwards from the top hat, that is not the same 😂
Yeah, it doesn’t quite make it all the way to top before the rollback, but it still looks pretty good.
That looks like it flew over the top hat
How fast did the line move after the metal detectors?
At a decent speed, but you don’t fully know until opening day.
Looks like a GREAT ride, but so short 😢
What? The original Top Thrill Dragster was even shorter
What’s the coaster right next to it? The orange and red one?
Iron Dragon
Do you have a pov of Wild Mouse?
Not going to break due to new technology. No more hydraulic pumps to fix! Just regular TPM’s and maintenance checks. I can relate because I’m in that field’ 👀
😂😂 This aged well
LMFAO!!! clown face much?
The guy that say I like it more ... no shit, it's the same ride it just has more.....
It’s a far better ride in my opinion but not as an intense launch. Some people crave intensity and I heard a few others mentioned they preferred it before.
Everyone’s different, no one’s right or wrong
Is this go pro chest mounted recorded
Most likely video glasses, I just got a back row POV I'm uploading to our vlog channel. Mines more about reaction though and not so much looking forward
We came for 2 days and it was closed :(
☹️
I’m a bit disappointed that they closed the ride down *_right after they just opened it._*
I'm from NJ and I think Kingda Ka is due for a change like this. This looks amazing
Nice Video. Is the Ride Smooth?
Yes, it is
@@biggdave104 happy to her that a coaster of such a unique company is so good.
In a scale of 1-10. How intense is it? Looks absolutely nuts to me. Not sure if I could do it or not.
The initial launch is a 6-10 but overall I’d give the intensity a 9
is it still smooth?
Yes
Well, good to know too thrill won’t self destruct like Kingda Ka did with their cable launch…
Tee tee!!!!!
It was closed when I went 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Looks great but it looks like 1 coaster launch every 3 or so minutes? The lines gonna be worse than ever.
They should have made it break 500 feet…. That would be insane!!!
Made in Italy!
When did you go?
Feel like it's top speed has to be over 120 now? It's treating the top hat like an airtime hill now 😆
It definitely felt like it was going faster over the top
Dispatch times have got to be horrible. This has to be a sub 1,000 an hour capacity
Why did you expect it to be higher?
@@HeavyShowsNYC just odd for a park to not have a major ride around 1500
@@definingimagewell they had a major issue with it a few years ago, they didn’t want to dismantle it. What did you expect them to do with it other than add a spire and turn it into the only
Other thing they could turn it into?
I believe it holds 20 people and dispatches around 90 seconds. Your right with about 800 per hour. Line moved okay, either way was worth it!
From what i am hearing they didnt like the new launch
That’s because coaster enthusiasts gotta complain about something. “Oh the first launch is so weak….I’m gonna miss the 120 hydraulic launch….blah blah blah”. The first launch can’t exactly hit top speed because it isn’t going over the top hat. Not sure why that’s such a hard concept to grasp.
I’m a coaster enthusiast myself, the first launch was ehh. But the rest of the ride is where it cooks, that made the ride amazing for me.
@@OfficialEthanStillCodes-9229 See I get that - considering it’s only 70 some miles per hour compared to the original. But, it really can’t be like the original. The ride has a new layout and comparing 1 launch out of 3 to a ride that only ever had 1 seems so weird to me.
Why do you always take it so long?
Forget ttd, This looks better! Either way solid W. Even the launch music is nice
Sorry, you’re incorrect
not better but nice
Dang these 2 are saying it's not but like 98% of the people say it is💩
@@The_NerdoLaunch and name a big downgrade
@@The_Nerdo It is. It's a better enjoyable experience. Never really cared much, for the original. Always thought Storm Runner was the best hydraulic launch.
2:36
Make it faster :)
SHES ALIVE
Top Thrill Dragster was my favorite coaster of all time and now Top Thrill 2 is taking the crown! She’s back and better than ever!
They could've done a better job with the sound effects. What kind of racecar is this?
Indy
Aaand it’s broken
Ouch😢-undetermined length of time for mechanical maintenance
Looks very shakey
It is
"what the f-u-ck!" I know exactly what you're thinking: what lunatic designed this thing and why is my crazy ass on it? 😄
Lake Erie!!
They should've stuck with the original design.
Aaaaaaaand its closed!! INDEFINITELY!! looooooooooololololoolololololololololololo
Bisogna farsi un ecocardio prima di andare là sopra
Of course.
Why in the hell would anyone ride this willingly
I saw people wearing watches. I thought I heard even watches weren’t allowed…
Watches and glasses with an athletic strap are allowed
This is an unauthorized recording, but this guy has built his platform on that. Not cool, my guy
Wow… That is incredibly slow. Epic fail.
U don’t need to clap. They don’t care whether you liked it or not
13 seconds to reach 74 mph on the first launch. How lame!! My old 2007 Mazda 6 is quicker than that. What a disappointment, and after such a long wait, nearly 3 years. 🙄🙄

Pantheon, and Jolly Rancher Remix are not even comparable to this ride.
Ok go off
what an impressive launch (NOT) and the straight track looks very intense too (just kidding). The real king is to be found near Jackson, I guess?
