ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 เม.ย. 2024
- ACE members Elizabeth Ringas (President) and Derek Perry (Communications Director) experience their first ride on Top Thrill 2, the reimagined coaster opening at Cedar Point. It was early and cold, but they managed to crest the top hat just as the sun was starting to rise as can be seen in this combination of POV, RPOV, and drone video.
Founded in 1978, American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) is a nonprofit organization of more than 7000 members from 16 countries.

Yes the top hat airtime is a definite plus
That has to wild, l have dreams/nightmares from the back of Millennium Force.
The ride looks great!
Here king you dropped this 🧢
That's me bracing for the cold in the second row ! :D
It’s looks great! Can’t wait to ride it this summer!
Wicked twister x top thrill dragster
Just rode the the Beast at kings island about 2 hours ago. I got the bug!!
I have been in Kings Island 2 times. I love it out there. It better than in Denver at Elitch’s. It’s small not like Kings Island. I used to live in Portsmouth, Ohio for 5 years and moved back in Denver.
I Love how it's becoming night, but being so tall next to the lake you could see where it's still brighter.
2:25 love that laugh haha
74 mph forward first launch. Not 90
Thoosies would never make that mistake. FALSE ADVERTISING! 😡
Yea I was gonna say.
If only it was 90…
My apologies for sharing incorrect information.
@ElizabethRingas it's OK. We all make mistakes. I've watched a few videos, and you aren't the only one. I've never been on the original Top Thrill Dragster, so I've heard a lot of people say it should be faster but for me it will be a new experience so I'm excited for what it is.
I honestly thought that too, but I think the 74 transition to 101 feels better.
Even though I’m terrified of coasters, my goal is to ride Top Thrill at least once in my life.
Wow, that looks like an incredible ride experience.
Can't wait to ride this
Top Thrill Dragster was a great rollercoaster and Top Thrill 2 is even better!
Nah, I doubtit wilp jave thet same Take off experience of it going from 0-120 in 3.8 seconds
Excellent! 👍🙏
AWESOME!
Thanks!
Top Thrill Dragster closed down Sunday.
Very unfortunate, but likely for a good reason that should benefit the ride and riders for the long haul.
they just casually talk while going down 420 feet 💀
RIGHT and they keep saying it's the fastest coaster in the world!!!! somebody needs to fact check these lies and deceptions
@@anthonyantoniohughes1184 pretty sure it's the 3rd fastest in the world, the fastest though is formula rossa
@@anthonyantoniohughes1184I believe they said it’s the fastest backwards launch in the world
SWEET 🎢🎢🎢❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cedar Point has another winner.
I like the roll back however part of the thrill was not knowing if you would make it over the top . I guess that could still happen.
TT 2 was not designed to make it over the Tophat on the 1st launch; no way it would happen at 74 Mph anyway; disappointing that it barely makes it up 1/2 way on this initial launch, but I will most likely be singing a different tune when I eventually ride it. I was lucky enough to get 2 rides on TT Dragster when I went to Coater Con in 2018, for the opening of Steel Vengeance --- I suppose I was very lucky to go when I did, although the ERT did not happen on SV, due to 1 train operations after the tiny little bumper car incident 2 weeks after it opened. Substituted with Millie -- 10 rides in a row at 10Pm on a freezing night (LoL).
With so many things wrong in this world, this cures all of it!!! RideAmerica
Now this is one more thing that's wrong.
At night ?? Oh yall savage!! LOL
This was at sunrise!
People's favorite element on maverick is the same one People are complaining about here.
O-74 launch.
Good point!
Oooo Derek is a cutie
Looks a little chilly.
They're whey up nort, yoo kno..
😊😊
I thought the idea was for the train to glide over the top not to fly over? At least that’s what the original TTD did and did not try to achieve
“Fastest backwards launch in the world at 101mph”
*Superman Escape From Krypton at 104:* 🤨
Well, as SFMM is my home park, I have been on Superman many times, and one thing this park does very well, is embellish their ride speeds -- there is no way this is 104 Mph, as they actually advertise it at 100 Mph, so I'm guessing it in the mid to high 90's -- on a good day.
I can't wait to stand in line for three hours only for them to tell me the ride is down again.
Haha, you've obviously rode the original! We would always run to it first to make sure we got to ride it before it broke down. Got caught many times like that though. :)
@@seanspence78 --- see my previous reply. On my one and only trip to CP in 2018(coaster Con - 2 days), on the 1st day it is the 1st ride I rode because of that same reason, was lucky to hit it too times on that 1st day.
2:09 Probably should let them know that one of the lights is out on the left side of the track. 3 on right, 2 on left...
Zamperla replaced Intamin.
First launch seems pretty lame…but the remainder of the ride after that seems good. Gonna try it out Thursday
If it was on any other ride it wouldn’t seem lame
I would take that launch cause that speed from it back up to that hill and towards the hill drop looks crazy fun and makes the ride longer!
@@badmoonrising7795 right, but due to how they changed the ride it’s always going to get comparisons and be looked down on. I am tired of hearing that it’s a “NEW” ride. No, it’s a “Refurbished” one
*Hears the speed* I WANT OFF! GET ME OFF! LET ME OFF OR I'LL SUE!
That launch is pathetic compared to original. There was nothing like top thrill. 0-120 in 3.2 seconds
But it was not reliable it was down every 2 hours
That’s the last of the crazy launches we will see it’ll be 80mph or a touch under from now on. That’s is my guess
Lol I always find it funny when coaster enthusiasts call it a top hat🎩 when it doesnt resemble it in any form...😂😂😂 lol We need new terminology to decribe it better folks lol
74mph forward first, NOT 90
What are the other launch mphs? I'm curious to know
@@Mason-xk2gy, this is what they claim --- I hope somebody actually verifies it: 74 Mph forward launch, 101 Mph backwards launch as it approaches the rear spire, 120 mph forward launch to achieve the top hat element.
@@drummerrocky5494 I saw that too, I'm hoping it's true, but still very cool nonetheless
Feels like Intamin is a jealous ex-boyfriend, looking on, seeing Cedar Point happy as can be with her new boyfriend Zamperla.
The ex0boyfriend thinking about the mistakes he made, wishing he could have her back, and now seeing the 2 of them together only makes the pain worse.
Meanwhile, the girl looks back on her time with the ex, and only wonders how she ever could have been with someone like that at all. And is happy as can be in her new relationship, where she feels respected, loved, and doesn't worry about random chunks of metal flying off and killing anybody.
did they practice what they were gonna say during this lmao
Yikes 😬
She can shut up anytime
This ride is exactly how king da kia at six flag is well use to use they don't make it roll back anymore 😢
Commentary is horrible
Nope... nope...nope lol!!
Taking something exciting and new, and turning it into boring with fake acting. How much are they paying you to be a shill? This is a terrible video.
Really? It’s a different experience with more sustained speed and airtime. It sucks we don’t have the acceleration from the old ride but going 100 backwards, then 120, and over a massive airtime hill is still an exciting experience. I can’t see how the second tallest coaster in the world can be “boring” no matter how it launches you.
Yeah the ride basically went from acceleration to a maintained speed experience. Holding judgement until I ride, but I think it’s going to be a one and done coaster for MANY park guests. In the meantime I’ll enjoy shorter waits in frontier town 🤠
@@rezz836you’re crazy. This ride is going to be amazing. Better than the first i think
@@tracy4019 meh maybe I’m wrong but idk. If the first launch got u to like 300ft for the rollback instead of 150ft I’d agree it’s better. But that first launch looks forceless. Backwards at 100 will easily be the highlight of the ride. Here’s the thing. It will be too intense for anyone that’s not a hardcore fan where after going once they won’t do it again. The others that love coasters will like it, but speed itself is probably not enough to keep people coming back in the long term. I haven’t seen a line over 40 minutes for Millenium in like 5 years. Coaster these days need to have elements or just be insane…unfortunately 3 launches to slowly increase the speed imo is not that special. If it were not for the accident they would have switched it to magnets without the back and worth. That would have been special, but unfortunately maintenance cuts lead to this project instead.
@@rezz836Coaster enthusiasts really are an insufferable bunch. If you haven’t seen a wait for Millennium, I call bs that you’re a regular visitor. Also - The general public rode the original again and again and they’ll ride this too. Besides, you are contradicting yourself. It’s either forceless, which would be fine for the GP, or it isn’t which would be a one and done for the casual rider. Which one is it? Who cares what the first launch speed is or how high it gets from it? THAT’S NOT THE WHOLE RIDE. It lasts more than 2 seconds which is a big upgrade from the first one.
Boring....
Sooooo why are you holding on, arms in the air folks!!!
They tell you to keep your arms down becuase you go under the overhang twice. That can cut your arms off.
@@chriskay1449no it can’t. They wouldn’t design it to cut your arms off if you put your hands up, because they know a ton of people are going to do it, including a ton of tall people.
People were told for media day to keep hands down..because it’s being filmed and that’s technically how you should ride. I doubt they’ll enforce that on a normal operating day.
@@chriskay1449 No, it can't. Modern coaster safety standards require that nothing can come within six inches of a rider's outstretched arms. The only coasters where you can reach things during the ride (i.e. The Beast) were built before these standards existed.
Watch the video again folks! As they go to the launch in the top left corner you will see a sign that says, “Keep your hands down!”
How about “because it’s THE RULES!” Good enough reason!!!!!
I met Elizabeth last year at Dollywood and she is pretty
