They should add just a little bit more to really freak you out lol

If you haven't been on it, how do you know it already doesn't do that​@@zachjones2346

The stronger airtime on the top hat + the stronger laterals down the top hat is going to be insane

That ejector airtime has to be insane

Yeah compared to how it used to go over the top (I swear sometimes it would barely make it over). That was the first thing I noticed about this iteration of the ride that wind probably won’t be as much of an issue as it used to be. It kinda reminds me of when millennium force opened up and how much different the left hill was on that vs traditional chain lift hills. You def notice the difference when you’re going over the top of that vs a traditional lifts.

Can you feel the zero Gs at the top of the spike?? That will be gut tingling

And now it's closed! You've got bragging rights!

@flyer3455 really? What happened to it?

@@egg.6223 it's closed indefinitely. The rumor is that they used a cheaper material for the wheels and they're cracking. The cars need to be fit with new wheels. That's the rumor. It's not clear when it will be back. It could be out for a month or the whole season.

@@flyer3455 best not be out for the whole season I’m moving out of ohio soon and I need to ride that

Lucky

That was in the front car. I bet you just get yanked over if you are in the back car! Imagine ejector air at 420 feet!!

@@kickthesky Right? And you'll also be the farthest up the spike. That alone is why I want to sit in the back.

The fact of how fast the train goes over the tophat suggests that the new system has a higher top speed than the old Top Thrill Dragster. Maybe it really is almost 200km/h (124mph) here compared to the old topspeed (120mph)

I think its more so that this system launches it at a smooth 120 each time up and over. TTD would frequently launch at 118 and sometimes get down to 112. That system would adjust the speed based on the amount of time it took to get Top Hat from launch. Thats why they took the speedometer away that it originally opened with 🤣 looks super fun!!

​@@dilliontrippy535 I doubt true rollbacks are possible on this new system

that backwards launch looks INSANE. you can hear from the screaming how intense it gets imagine being back row as you reach the top of that spike lol holy shit

The hydraulic launcher of the original can’t be beat. It’s not nostalgia, it’s science. Ridden lsm launches and nothing compares to the bullet like feeling off being shot out of a hydraulic launch.

Original was 0-120 in 4 seconds. One of the few ways to experience that amount of acceleration on earth (freefall in a vacuum only reaches 87 mph in 4 seconds), you'd otherwise need to drive an actual dragster or a fighter jet to feel that kind of acceleration. The various clones of TTD like Kingda Ka or the slower/shorter Red Force luckily still exist (for now).

@@ts4gv I have ridden the original. Can’t imagine how this wouldn’t be better. It’s so much more dynamic of a ride.

Yeah! I just seems like so much fun! Only prollem is I don't like Rollercoasters, but I want to ;-;

Yep. I’ll miss the hydraulic launch, but this still looks like a unique and fun ride!

@@JakeyfromStateFarmu have a higher chance of dying to a shark than a roller coaster

@@MasonPerry-tt8zhunless you never swim in the ocean

@@JakeyfromStateFarm just do it bro. as someone whos been a roller coaster enthusiast for a whopping 2 weeks just go on some rides and think about how much you liked every other ride youve been on before

i thought the same thing

big emphasis on the “might” here. I thought the launch of TTD was the best part of it

So glad they kept the music!!!

@@HostName-jp6cu I think it's a remix of it.

the back spike definitely is a tribute to Wicked Twister!

It does! I 100% does!

Did you ever get to ride it?

Sadly I would never ride it because my family wouldnt go all the way to ohio 😭😭

Frrr

The first camera they used was janky, and nothing to do with the LSMs. The EMF coming up from the LSMs isn’t that large to affect the camera that high off the track.

Fr fr

Dude you and me both 😳

Personally, I think the speed of the first launch sets up the rest of the ride well.

It’s never going to match the intensity of the original hydraulic launch, but this still looks like a blast

@@TheLsp2011 Very true. That was special. This is very cool in its own way though. I think people will enjoy it!

@@MarcusLeshockHow rough was it?

@@Bald_Fartthe important question

Are you from Ohio Im from ohio Toledo

@@KojoHunsaker-fk5gm If I lived in Ohio, I'd be going to Cedar Point all the time. Unfortunately, I don't live anywhere near Ohio...or a good amusement park. :( Go ride TTD2 for me, plz. And Maverick. 👍

I'm also 6 hours away from Cedar Point, Although my six flags is just an hour away. Great America isn't that bad since they've added a 2nd train to Maxxforce Finally. But Top Thrill 2 looks insane, I wonder if I can still watch the coaster take off from corkscrews station

I used to work for Cedar Point when Top Thrill originally opened and on my day off they needed people to ride it for the commercial they were filming that day. I got to ride it 27 times. If you ever watch the original commercial or see the picture of the season pass with the photo of the Top Thrill on it, I'm the bald guy in third row in the dark blue shirt 😂😂😂😂😂. Yes ... 27 times ... in a row 😂😂😂😂😂 I never rode it again after that 😂😂😂😂😂 but after watching this!!!! I'd ride this!!!!!

@@ericslegacybricks wow that’s crazy man! Idk how you ride it 27 times but still cool at same time. It seems like a fun place to work as well.

@SuspiciousUser-ef4zh I was young and stupid!!!! That's how I was able to ride it 27 times!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ohhhhh to be young and stupid again 😁😁😁😁😁

lol

Not so fast, TT2 down indefinitely after only two weeks.

@@derekk6906 after months :cry:

Nothing can ever top that 😢

Some guy just flew off it 💀

@@sorxysky7326 You mean a water guy 💀

it opened this year

🤣 4 hours for a 25 sec ride? Could never be me.

The wait time is possibly next fall. TR2 down indefinitely.

Wait TT2 is open now? I went a couple days ago and it was closed

dawg, it took a just more than a minute before the next train had the option to enter the track. a loading time takes 2 minutes usually. no difference.

@@robertrusu1958 If that's the case, then that's amazing. Just a legit question as I haven't been to it yet. Just looking online though, each train has a capacity of 20 riders. Assuming every train is fully filled (CP seemed to be good at that in my visit without sacrificing load times), and assuming a loading time of 2 minutes as you said, ride time of 2:09 (taken from this video, not counting the unloading time and the time taken to get back to the loading area, which isn't shown), that's a 4:09 cycle per train minimum. I'm slightly autistic and just a nerd, so trying to break this down (don't take this as me going against your comment or anything, just genuinely curious): 249 seconds per ride cycle (without time taken for guests to get off and train to get to loading area) 20 riders per train 3 potential trains at once 249s/20 = 12.45s ride cycle/rider 3600s/249s per ride = each train can get off 14.46 runs/hr 3*14.46 = 43.38 total train runs/hr 43.38*20 guests = 867.8 guests/hr That still seems like a very low throughput for a very busy park, even not taking into account the aforementioned unloading time and the time taken to get back to the loading area. If I misunderstood something or am missing something, let me know. In my brain, it still seems like a capacity nightmare. I'm still skeptical of 3 trains running consistently too; if it were only 2 trains, it's be just 578.5 riders/hour. I have no idea what the average daily CP attendance is, but either way seems very low.

It never was

this is the first LSM system of any large scale that Zamperla has ever built. it's going to have bad problems and downtime. lol

⁠@@protowaveit cannot be as many problems Intamin has 🤣 and Intamin has been doing this for a longer time and still cannot get it right.

Well ofc but the older system was problematic how often it breaks down and its not only on that coaster where it has problems
