I just binge watched all of your previous Cedar Point vlogs yesterday and they were all great! But, just within the past year, your all’s production/quality has drastically improved. It reminds me of those travel channel shows about theme parks within the early 2000s that we all used to love. Very excited to see your future content 🥰

[@AdrenalineAces]

Cedar point is going to have an amazing summer this year

[@craigowenby4909]

Loving the color grading on this! The neon elements everywhere are popping 🎉

[@rufusc4311]

Does the whip on the spiral drop feel like a vertical Mosasaurus Roll? Every time someone mentions the drop that's all I can think of lol

[@dreams2reality410]

Will be there 3rd week of August for 3 days and can't wait. Both of your videos have got me so pumped to visit Cedar Point again. It's been over 3 long years. Fellow Floridian here. Loved the content as usual. You and Sarah have the best coaster channel on KZbin.

[@Givenofficial]

it was so cool running into you guys and getting to talk to sarah

[@christianortiz793]

TT2 looks absolutely amazing!!! Would love to go back to CP to experience it for myself!!!

[@carlollmann831]

Top thrill had a great run. Closed for an extended time now. Maybf next year.

I’m thinking a year

It's testing again. I am thinking june

[@CoasterCentral305]

Yup

So for a fact yesterday we went to cedar point to, our locker was right by magnum. It’s pretty amazing but we didn’t see y’all. I went with my brothers and sisters including with my bigger brothers mom.

[@jhjansenhtpc]

Ooh, how I remember that first ride towards the peninsula and seeing all those great CP coasters ❤

[@jiggataco]

Please do a cinematic video of this park. Your cinematic Kings Island video from a few years back is incredible. I’d love to see Cedar Point get the same treatment. Thanks!

[@journeybattlesmith]

Great meeting you at the end of opening night!

[@CoasterEverything]

Coaster Studios you genuinely are the greatest channel 🤩 your footage and the way you capture things is incredible 😍! So looking forward to watching this!

[@CancelHappiness]

Greatest coaster channel for sure

[@TerpSlurp3r]

The park will feel whole again! So many fresh paint jobs, dragster's back, steve, and maverick night rides

[@anthonyharder1469]

Dragster is not back lol

[@ShannaSlone]

It was so nice meeting you guys! 💓

[@CedarPointfan630]

I can't wait to visit this masterpiece of an amusement park this summer so i can ride world class rides like steve and tt2.

Me and a buddy will be there july 13th :)

[@CedarPointfan630]

Same!!! Never been but got an all park pass this year . Coming from MN and valleyfair as my home park, excited is an understatement!

[@wildearth3992]

It’s already close indeterminately because they find a crack on one of the wheel of the silver train.

[@memelord9737]

@@wildearth3992source for the crack on the wheel?

[@frojo9]

The editing on the opening sequence was visually amazing and I'd just like to take the time to appreciate that.

[@aj74205]

Super fun to watch y’all appreciating The Point. I fell further in love with it after working there a few years back. And I’m glad that Top Thrill 2 seems a very worthy successor.

[@christianroig8486]

I rode row 7 and tt2 with my hands up and the lateral force was so forceful my hands literally almost hit the guy that was sitting next to me. It really threw me off guard. lol

[@chadenglish4169]

I went Monday and rode TT2 in row 7 too. The laterals are pretty forceful.

[@MrCrash-hz8xy]

just pause at 0:07 for a moment. just look at that skyline! It's stupid crazy how much has changed throughout the years. so amazing 21:09 the millennium force music never gets old 🤣🤣🤣

[@brittenthomas2050]

Never been to cedar point and I want to go soooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaddd!! Doubt I'll ever get to so I gotta live thru your videos to ride everything by pov

[@billchief397]

Your cinematic shots of the coasters are so amazing btw. Cannot wait to return next year. Last time was 2019 and top thrill was down the entire time we were there.

[@reggierobinson2594]

Camera quality is truly better than ever, the way the colors are brought out is so amazing!

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

tbh i’d love to see a completion video of just your favorite shots you’ve ever gotten of roller coasters because your footage is incredible

[@kingdragon3879]

That opening montage is awesome

[@maxhagenauer24]

Man I love this park so much.

[@ChumbleSpuz42]

I just watched your last Cedar Point review video yesterday; what a nice surprise to see this uploaded 1 day later! :)

[@dunkmanpr5398]

You guys should do a video with the couple of t.p worldwide. Would be cool to see the 4 of you together

[@JasonLynnn56]

I am at cedar point today!!’ I’m currently waiting in line for Valravn second time it’s been such a good day today!!! ige been on Valravn, Raptor, Maverick, max air, Rougarou been a fun day!

[@abdhashmi]

your captures of the rides or cinematography, and pacing are top class. Sara is always on queue, great editing!

[@coolioam8137]

No better amusement park in my eyes. Can't wait to go this summer!

[@themeparkmagic180]

Hi Taylor and Sarah, great video of tt2 and cedar point. Hopefully, the next time you visit the park, I can meet you both.

[@FryGuy909]

Can't wait to get to Cedar Point in July this year for the first time ever :D

[@joshuaheiny7764]

so stoked rn

[@StarrsStudios]

m so hyped to go to Cedar Point for first time this summer!

[@CaseFamilyVlogs]

One of our favorite parks!

[@PatrickRyan150]

I went Friday, and it was an hour and a half line for TT2. We had an awesome time.

[@Jimmylovessalt]

Was it better than the original one

[@CalvinHughes-Thomas]

I’m at Kentucky kingdom right now and at about 2:30 lightning run got stuck on the top of the chainlift while we were on it

[@LucyLoud2002]

I have been wanting to visit this amazing park ever since I was 13 and I really want to go this summer but I don't know if I can. I've been planning a summer trip to Carowinds, Hersheypark, and this place.

[@CedarPointfan630]

Hope you enjoy your trip.

[@astralhitchhiker12]

Oh hey!! We must have been on the same ride because I was on Silver Train's first ride on opening day! Woo! I rode it 3 times and kept getting Silver so I let someone go ahead of me so I could get black the last time. Back row is best!!!

[@pizza2614]

this is gonna be lit for cedar

[@thebeard2165]

Annnnnnd TT2 is download indefinitely 😂🤦‍♂️

[@nicoleacosta5545]

Just watched Theme Park Worldwide and they reported that Top Thrill 2 is closed now indefinitely due to a need for additional modifications. I was just planning to upgrade my Knott's pass for all Cedar Fair Parks. I think I will wait a bit now. Thanks for the insightful videos! At least I can ride via you two!

[@ThatCoasterDude]

I’m going tommorrow!!! I am PSYCED for TT2!!! Love your vids!!

[@johnny85er]

Wish they would bring back Coaster Campout! That was a an amazing experience!

[@kayleycox4191]

Sarah, as a fellow short girlie myself (5’2), I agree. My head always ping pongs on Rougarou too.

I'm at Cedar Point this weekend, first time ever, and yeah, I was not prepared for how much that one hurt my head!

[@kayleycox4191]

@@ElizabethAnneReads That’s so awesome! Hope you have a wonderful time😁!

[@AlexWeberg]

I went on may 10th and my 3rd time going to cedar point. I was able to do tt2 for the first time. Im just surprised it didn't close down that day cause we waited for it, and it felt like an hour and a half. It was delayed twice while we were waiting in line.

[@sethkuhn2148]

kinda funny I was in one of your vlogs back in 2016 or 2017 and still watch you man glad to see how big you’ve gotten since then

[@jefcoble8827]

Im going later this year... i would like to know what the wait times were like jus so ik what to expect. When i went 2 years ago they were pretty crazy

[@ryanreed7688]

Your footage is really looking gorgeous! On a bunch of shots I felt like I was watching Nat Geo visiting an amusement park.

[@Darthvader-en8ce]

I had a “rite of passage” on the Beast. One of my fingernails on my left hand was nearly ripped off in the second helix tunnel. But I was having such a great time, I couldn’t help but laugh. I eventually went to the medical center and they wrapped it in gauze. But yeah, one memorable experience for sure.

[@walk4God]

Talking about the anxiety with getting to Maverick or SteVe is very accurate.

[@Coolbreeze0988]

I do really miss end of the night marathons on mean streak. It would be almost completely empty for the last hour and was just insane at night.

[@ThrillRider247]

Until it goes down other day..I Heard..saw videos..it kept rolling back....so I'm intrigued to hear your thoughts on this...also..Tony hinted 25 is allready signed..so kinda curious what it is..I'm guess flat ride package..they need flats badd.. ones that go upside down...so I'm hoping 4..two upside down .two regular size ones.. I guess we will see soon enough..💯💯😍😍

[@G3R0George]

Magnum looks so good! Either it got a fresh coat of paint or I’m just too excited!

[@Tipsuns]

1:40 not Sara calling top thrill, Dragster. Lols

[@CoasterStudios]

can’t help it 😂

[@austintayloradt]

Cedar Point has the best merchandise of any park I've been to. The one moment on Millenium Force that you could stay is standout or definitive is the first drop...I know it's not the steepest, longest, etc. but I think it still stands as one of the best first drops in the world - partially because of the setting on the lake that you referenced.

[@KingT8]

The amount of merch I want to buy here is probably worth more than 2 entire trips (including flights and lodging) All those shirts look really nice and of course I would buy nanocoasters I love those things

[@jedda1889]

Never been to Cedar Point and always wanted to go as a kid

[@BamaRailfan]

Heading up to CP today 5/12. Rumors are that TT2 won't open due to maintenance issues. I know it was closed yesterday, likely due to high winds..we shall see.. will be a lot of fun regardless!

[@jacobdavis349]

Great footage!

[@joyoustye2326]

21:09 that put a smile on my face

[@OofThatsNice]

I'll be there Thursday the 23rd. Hoping for small crowds but CP gonna CP! Haven't been since 2012 I'm amped

[@Dawsonsincedawsonstaken]

I think I’ll be there that day too! Going with my calculus class. I’m hoping for the short waits too!

[@melvinschrab505]

I visited this park when tt2 was in construction... I REALLY WANT TO COME BACK

[@briandevine8292]

I had the same problem with the burgers at Canada’s wonderland today there were no toppings. Also how has top thrill 2s down time been, dose it go down a lot or a normal amount for a coaster it’s size?

[@TylerPCoyne]

It’s crazy that as soon as you posted this video, Cedar Point closes the ride just like Great Adventure with Jersey Devil.

[@Shredxcam22]

We wanted to stay at hotel breakers to get right in but it was almost triple the cost to stay there. Iirc we do get early entry with our gold pass tho

[@allensworth79]

My favorite time of year to go is end of fall. Its colder out and not as packed as in the summer time.

[@nonononononononononononononope]

Maverick will always be in my top 25. Just such a long, perfect coaster, that never lets up until the end.

[@dindog22]

Sarah finally got beat up on, um, I mean rode Corkscrew!

This is on the bucket list

[@djtomz7158]

I agree with you on Towne Hall Museum

Most of my re-rides at CP are on Magnum. I can never get enough.

I wonder how crowded it will get over the summer with TT2 open now.

[@davidnevolo4402]

Wow incredible

[@halesej]

Your footage is 🤩😍🤩😍

[@houseofnorm4031]

Me and a couple friends are taking our first trip to Cedar Point in a couple weeks! We had planned to go long before the opening day announcement for TT2, so now I’m wondering what a good strategy to our 2 days in the park would be. We are staying on site so that will help, but should we try to ride TT2 first and then go for everything else? Or enjoy a day in the park and then ride top thrill on the second day?

[@paulwinston988]

I'll be going to CP for the first time in 14 days!

[@GabesMic]

I've been watching this channel for so long and I lived to see Taylor surrendering to Magnum. You have to know how to ride this beast, and when you do... Oh boy!! it's literally the worm in Dune.

[@DAZARI0]

grand opening, grand closing... 😭

[@kevinwinwood6917]

So magnum row 3 huh? I’ll test this theory out in a few weeks. Also, maverick is such a silent monster.. it’s so much fun and well designed. Love your content. Come back to Kennywood in Pittsburgh sometime! Just not this season. Steel Curtain is closed all year

[@Reputationlover89]

So sometimes I wear my shoes (tennis shoes) with the back part flipped down because that’s how I put them on and then I fix it. I forgot to fix them before we got on gatekeeper- the shoes are fine they never fell off but NEVER do that. It’s Scary.

[@allensworth79]

One more thing, anyone else notice when they panned back to steel vengeance as they were talking about it, the entire section shook.

[@Phuzzi]

I don't understand? The single use fast lane tickets don't show up in the Cedar Point app for any of us, and we all are season pass holders even.
