I can feel the airtime over the top hat

[rnknvisuals]

I gasped out loud at how fast it goes over the top hat. I hope it stays that way!

[egg.]

Just rode it yesterday, absolutely the scariest thing I've ever done

[triplemarc]

This ride looks phenomenal. WAY better than I was expecting. DEFINITELY better than the original. It’s a long ride and those launches are sure to have an insane sense of speed. It literally looks so incredibly good.

[Zeleathos]

I heard "Baby I'm Ready to Go" in the background, this makes me very happy.

[pollutingpenguin]

That looked a lot better than I thought it would!

[bvanhaun]

my heart almost exploded out my chest just watching it. Cant wait to ride

[soulbait]

This is great. Wicked Twister was one of my favorite rides, and it is almost as if they took parts of Wicked Twister and added them to Top Thrill. I cannot wait to try this!

[ADN]

flying over the tophat like that might be the redemption that this ride needs since its now without its signature hydro launch.

First good POV! The camera doesn't lag on the LSMs!

[The_Pariah]

I could feel the G's of that just watching.
As someone who has rode every coaster at Cedar Point, including the OG Top Thrill Dragster, this clearly looks like it's going to be the best ride in the park.
Although, I'll always have a place in my heart for Maverick.

This is my absolute favorite Top Thrill 2 video! It really shows the intensity and power!! This is the one I show people. I love it with the sound way up! Great video! I’ve watched it so many times! :) :)

That top hat has way more ejector air time than before, so it seems that it's actually hitting 120mph pretty consistently. I've had some friends who were operators for TTD, and they said it very rarely actually hit 120. It was usually between 112-119, depending on the system, weather, weight, etc.

You also have to remember these trains are lighter, have bigger wheels, and sit you higher above the tracks. I think all of these things combined are going to make that top hat, and 270° heartline feel way more forceful. Can't wait to ride this thing!

Launch looks gentle as expected, but man that top hat is now an airtime hill 😂

[keeannajones]

I’m from Los Angeles & my dad sent this to me 😂😂 he know I love rides now this my dream ride to get on lol

[Therealsheinheadmanager]

its nice that we still had a coaster similar to wicked twister even after its gone

[janeilnold]

I got to ride it on Prestige preview. The only bad thing I have to say was that I only got to ride it once! So fun, especially being flung over the tophat! A part of me will always miss Dragster for that 0-120mph, shot out of a cannon, feeling, but this ride absolutely kicks ass! Can't wait to ride it again!

[spenym]

I have the biggest smile on my face. This looks amazing

[SuspiciousUser-efzh]

I rode the top thrill dragster for the first time five years ago and now they’ve changed it. Looks Great!

Happy to see tt make its return. As a true coaster fan, im 100% excited about tt2. Nothing is more dissapointing then seeing people posting to their coaster channel, claiming they love coasters, bad mouthing or doubting tt2. I live out of state and drive 6 hours every year to cedar point. I have a six flags 2 hours away. I havent been to six flags in over a decade because my love for cedar point and what they offer. I was sad to think top thrill was gonna be dismantled. So to see it reimagined and running again, makes me so happy. Yes its no 120mph right out the gate, but a mini rollback followed up with a massive vertical spike, is exciting. And the plus side is wait times for maverick, millenium, and steel vengeance, should drop alittle bit.
