NEW Top Thrill 2 On-Ride Reaction! | Cedar Point New-for-2024

[@ThousanWhite]

Yeah, the 100mph backwards launch has probably been the most overlooked and underappreciated element on this. I'm glad people are actually getting to experience it and recognizing how great it is.

[@Tyler63532]

Nobody should be praising this garbage ass company. This looks incredibly lame and looks very shaky.

[@Themeparkfan630]

​@Tyler63532 why you mad bro😂

[@michaelp.3485]

Yes. Ths backwards "launch that accelerates 30mph. WOW!!!! OMG!!!! WHAT A "LAUNCH!!!!!" 😂😊

[@ashtonclawson8706]

@@michaelp.3485I guarantee you’ve nvr felt that in reverse

[@ElToroRyan]

Looks better than the original Dragster if you ask me! Awesome POV mang!

[@ColiwoodStudios]

I think it might be, thanks!!

[@The_LaughingHyena]

Bruh, it looks like a floater machine. Backrow will be the seat for me. Spike air time and tophat air time.

[@DelightfulSandDunes-ur5ln]

ElToro I love youuuu

[@George_bonnaire]

Yeah I’m glad it’s actually a long ride now

[@CoasterGuy2323]

It looks much worse

[@KyleJPie10]

the airtime over the tophat looks phenomenal. Cant wait to ride this.

[@billchief397]

Ya the original didn't have much airtime like this

[@tatecarlson]

As much as I loved the punchiness of Top Thrill Dragster, Top Thrill 2 looks to be a Top Thrill ride. Hats off to Tony Clark, and Zamperla for this masterpiece.

[@Marty6804]

Out of all the top thrill 2 reaction vids I’ve watched the past several days your dad is by far the most fun to watch.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

The snap on that turn and the top hat airtime are crazy

[@CoasterLoverJackie]

I just love dad’s excitement!!! So refreshing ❤🎢🙌

Great riding with u!!

That's awesome you guys are in the air going up at the turn and don't come down until the bottom.

[@windwest4D]

Absolutely Amazing!!!

[@DuecePiece]

So thankful to have got to experience the Stratas as they were designed, sadly I'm sure we'll never have any other hydraulic/compressed air launches again. Glad they kept this beauty around for sure! 🤘❤️

[@alisonp3398]

I don’t think your dad was excited enough lol! Just showed it to Bobaloo and Skippy. Nice video!!

[@PoshLife123]

So now all those who talked trash about Zamperla and this entire project can eat their words and have some humble pie for dessert.

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

Yes!!!!

[@coastinthrupacks]

Looks extremely rough 😂

[@TheBlueBunnyKen]

They reused most of the old track though, so it looks very bumpy

[@coastinthrupacks]

@@TheBlueBunnyKen the part that looks rough is the new track. The spike and entire launch track is new. Rest is old

[@FAFO4wisdom]

Preach! I've been team Zamperla since day one, I've worked on 40 different ride models from them an love their products. Glad to see their name on something so epic

I might be going to cedar point for the first time this summer and I can’t wait to ride this!

The airtime on that top hat looks ridiculous 😮

Better than original dragster

[@dollyhooks2436]

This is on my bucket list!

[@likestxrscream]

i had no idea the airtime over the top hat is like that, you guys didn’t hit your seats again until the bottom lol

[@SingleRiderReak]

Roughness what? If it were rough, I’d say it adds to the thrill of high speeds, much like how the shakiness added to the OG Dragster’s intensity.

[@glennramsey9327]

That’s funny Colin. I remember in one of your Q&A episodes, you said yourself that you didn’t think it was gonna be that great! Lol I’m glad to see your tune changing after getting on the ride

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Big time! My expectations were far exceeded!

[@eddieholt8222]

@@ColiwoodStudios What do you think of the first launch? How does it compare to Mavericks launch tunnel intensity?

[@ColiwoodStudios]

The first launch isn’t super intense, but it starts with a nice kick, then continues to generate speed the whole way through, creating a really unique sensation!

[@eddieholt8222]

@@ColiwoodStudios Thank you for the reply. I am glad to hear about the "nice kick" that is what I was afraid would be missing. Have you ridden any other launch coasters at Cedar Point, King's Island, or Kennywood that has a similar kick? Thanks.

[@JorgenFitnesz]

You know what’s weird kingda ka and top thrill 2 sound different going up like for example kingda ka has that amazing roar sound when going up the tower and also back down top thrill dragster and now the re done version doesn’t have that amazing roar sound that ka has but however I do love both rides very much

[@liamvaughn3943]

wow! this ride looks incredible! but the most important question, how the heck does your dad keep those sunglasses on his face on those drops! must be some wicked magic lol!!!

did you go on the original if so which did you like more?

[@ColiwoodStudios]

I rode the original Dragster many times and honestly, I think TT2 may take the edge!

[@BenSchubert1995]

While the Blue, and White, and Black trains are cool. I want to see more colors like Red, and Yellow, and Green. That would give this ride an extra "pop" in color.

[@Coaster_Joe]

Amazing pov!!!! I was wondering if I could maybe join one of your live streams? Just seems like a great time!!

[@amusementscape]

Sad that Ace wasn’t invited, Phil filled in very nicely though

[@Carter-nl2]

That train is shuffling around on the tracks

[@OfficialEthanStillCodes-9229]

A little rattle, not much to disturb you on the ride. It’s an amazing ride.

[@Negative509]

whats the station music?

There’s a brand-new soundtrack of multiple different tracks, one of which being a remix of Republica’s “Ready to Go”!

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

I was meant to come visit from the U.K. but had to cancel my plans. Hopefully I’ll get to ride it at some point. I definitely don’t class the ‘rollback’ element as a true roller back lol I’ve had 2 rollbacks on the original, just doesn’t compare lol

Someone said it's even better than Iron Dragon.

[@timjackson7588]

The first launch is so weak and not thrilling at all. It would have been better relocate the station near the top hat, 1st launch backwards towards the spike then 2nd launch boost to 120mph to get you over the top hat.
