Marcus Leshock of WGN Morning News in Chicago gets a rare DOUBLE ROLLBACK on Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster at Cedar Point. The ride was renamed "Top Thrill Cubster" for opening weekend in 2017, after the park lost a bet when the Cubs beat the Indians in the World Series. #CoastinTheCountry

Happened to me when I went in May of 2018. Rolled back twice while my gf and I went on it again on our second day of visiting right around when Steel Vengeance opened up. Unfortunately the lines for Vengeance were extremely long (8-12 hour wait times) we did enjoy every other ride with a fast pass though.

@@Nx553 Then why is everyone else on the ride chill and enjoying it. Society sets the range for 'normal'. So if everyone on that ride is acting a certain way, or within reason to one another, but his reaction is above and beyond the rest, he is thus "over reacting". Anyone sitting next to him or near him, especially me, could and should be pissed off. I find it hard to enjoy a ride when you have that 1 person 'excessively' yelling, screaming, or being abnormally loud and hurting my ears and taking away from the enjoyment and I think most people agree. This dude was annoying ass fuck. And all those people that had the luck of getting 2 rollbacks now have the experience ruined by some asshole that wants to look cool for the camera.

There's a good chance they're doing it earlier in the day, from what I've heard, when they start up the ride, the computers need to calibrate themselves to give _just_ enough speed to go over the top. It's especially tricky since the required speed varies depending on their weight. Odds are that the computer was still calibrating when they rode it.

@@greycarton Lol this type of ride wasn't in the Roller Coaster Tycoon games until the 3rd one. Naturally being a 20 year old computer game, tragedy often struck when coaster trains collided and such. Top Thrill Dragster is 100% designed for rollbacks because it has to be. They are more common in the cold weather or early in the morning, especially when the trains don't have many riders. The lack of momentum sometimes isn't enough to go over the top hat. That's why all of those brakes go down before the launch, they are there to slow down the train in the case of a rollback so they pop back up after the train clears the launch track. If it happens, the system resets and relaunches the train a little bit faster to help it clear the top hat. Having it happen twice in a row like this is rare though and it looks like a cold day based on their coats! This coaster is basically "too safe" with all of it's sensors which is why it sees a good amount of down time. So no worries, a rollback is cool because you get to experience the launch again let alone go backwards down the tower. Most people don't get to experience that.

Got a rollback for first time last Sunday. The train was only half filled since it was an extreme dead day (there were supposed to be severe storms all day but it only rained from like 9:30 to 11:00 in the morning and then it was beautiful outside all the way to closing). The noobs who wanted front seat refused to sit in the empty seats and they missed it lol. They were so upset! It made me laugh so hard. Ours just barely rolled back too because it stopped at the top for several long seconds before rolling back. Once the brakes stopped it, it took a million years to slowly roll backwards all the way to the station. I wonder if they did the rollback on purpose. I do know they can, and the way they asked the people in line for front seat if they wanted to get on right then was very suspicious. They said, "Does anyone want to get on the purple train RIGHT... NOW...?" Have been dreaming of a rollback forever and never thought I would ever get one. It was so great! I love it!! It still feels unreal!!!

I was in line for Pipe Scream, a little ride, one time, and me and my friends dream was to see Top Thrill Dragster go backwards. So we were all patiently waiting for our ride, and suddenly I hear Top Thrill take off. My friend looks back at it and all of a sudden, he yells, “TOP THRILL DRAGSTER’S GOING BACKWARDS!” The whole line is startled as they quickly turn around and see the car slow at the top, and fall back. It was one of my best experiences at that park EVER. Despite its failure we did go on Top Thrill Dragster later that day and it was a success. Also one of the best rides in the park! So yeah, don’t be scared of that one, it only falls backward every one in FIVE HUNDRED RIDES, so I recommend you give it a try! True story by the way.

My analysis - to create a rollback - you set the launch max speed at Top Thrill less than the full circuit so when the train cars rocket up on that first part of the climb, it actually stops just before the apex of the arch at the top, and then gravity takes over and the train cars drop backwards. Safety mechanisms brake the cars just before the starting line area to avoid collisions with other car groups. Keenly, this was inspired by Great America's "Tidal Wave" shuttle rollercoaster, which launches you into a loop and then a vert up with a freeze, and then you go backwards doing that loop again backwards into a straightaway into another vert up with a freeze (in the other direction), and then you go back down on the straightaway and that's it. So seeing the Tidal Wave coaster myself gave me an example of how rollbacks in rollercoasters work.

I watched this thing go probably 20 times before I rode it I was completely terrified of it going back down the hill but when I finally did get talked into it someone said you wont even have time to get scared and they were right as soon as the light hits green you are gone and at the top of the hill before you can get scared I rode it 2 more times after one of the best rides I ever experienced

It feels like your back's going thru the seat. It's very smooth. The second time they launched us without sound effects. Just the zip of the cable. Pretty cool.

And it just happened to be right when they had cameras all over the ride? Very suspicious. Not to mention, the second time they rolled back, the train didn't even come close to making it over the hill. I've never seen a rollback like that.

Rest In Peace, Dragster. It will be closed for the 2022 season. That means that its final days are at hand. If a coaster is closed down for more than one season, tradition dictates that it will be torn down in a couple of years. And Cedar Point’s skyline will be missing something. So again I say Rest In Peace, Top Thrill Dragster. You were the best coaster I ever rode in my life. I wish that I was wrong and that you’ll be running like clockwork next year, but that’s not likely to happen. It’d be nice to see you run again, and I’d rather be wrong about you being torn down, but…just like I’ve been wrong before, I’ve also been right before. Until I learn otherwise, Top Thrill Dragster is dead.
