Top Thrill 2 Front Seat POV 2024 Full HD Cedar Point

[@Coastainment]

Thanks for giving us the awesome povs throughout the years!

[@cpellercpeller5463]

The up-to-down Spike transition is a savory experience. The run up, over & down the Top Hat is faster & more intense than Dragster. Especially the twist going down. The increased speed coupled with higher seating really flings you around! A more intense "bottoming out" too. Fun Times!

[@Beanieweenies89]

Gets over that top hat fast wow

[@elzzihsob]

judging by the wind noise, this ride is nuts

[@jdivergh22]

It really is an epic coaster. I've rode it three times so far. Going back tomorrow for another ride or two at the very least. This highly exceeded my expectations!

[@Vandy242000]

I’m most pumped for the reverse launch! The air time on the spike looks wild and that train rips over the top hat. Excited to get down there

[@patrickstrahm05]

Yeah when you are in the back you float for like 10 seconds going up and down

[@aaronswords404]

I'm still surprised at how this thing flies over the top hat. I am assuming you get some ejector when it hits the top.

[@kd9lac803]

Can confirm, you find yourself being particularly thankful for the restraint on this one

[@jjgillmen]

With this re-do of the original Top Thrill Dragster, one can argue that Zamperla has become a legit coaster manufacturer that can be more than just wild mice or flat rides.

[@kd9lac803]

At what point do all us haters tell Zamperla we were wrong? I will admit that I was definitely one of them in the beginning. Didn't think they could pull it off. My trip is booked for the 3rd week of August. If TT2 has gone all summer without any real issues and we get to tear it up for the 3 days we are in town. My brother and I vowed to both hand write a letter of apology to the team at Zamperla.

[@TexKP]

I could honestly say I had no doubts until all the public concern started building up. Whether or not they’re new to this size ride, the technology is tried and true. All the operational issues that plagued the wild mouse seem to be an aspect no matter what size the ride is. One could even argue that the wild mouse is more complex due to the number of cars running at once.

[@JoeyH-sb3fq]

Don't jinx it MF

[@stephenlee1664]

Considering the ride is under extended closure and requires modification maybe the haters were right if this continues to be an issue.

[@lulashepard3253]

Looks like a fun ride. It was a very good idea to include a rollback as part of the design, since the accidental ones were so popular. I always enjoy your videos, James C.

[@SamApocalypse]

Yeah but rollbacks are cool if you go down backwards from the top hat, that is not the same 😂

[@lulashepard3253]

Yeah, it doesn’t quite make it all the way to top before the rollback, but it still looks pretty good.

[@jpsoles]

The wait to get through the metal detectors was longer than the wait itself today at Prestige preview.

[@protowave]

with half the trains, more than triple the cycle time, multiple periods of downtime, the "pay for lockers to ride" safety policy, and metal detectors that malfunction when the train launches... yeah, it's gonna be a long line forever. but hey, it'll clear up the lines at other coasters.

[@bman2217]

@@protowave cedar point rides are always long right when the ride opens, and this is no different. The hourly capacity isn’t even that much worse than ttd, and assuming it doesn’t break down for full weeks, it will be an improvement.

I mean they didn't design any of the top hat or supports, can't give them all the credit. Its a collab with intamin

[@scruffypupper]

Thanks. My curiosity is satisfied. I will never get on this.

[@MrBetaKiller100]

A little note: TT2 seems to dispatch in 90 seconds here, at that rate it has a real capacity of 800 people per hour. I hope as the crew gets used to running the ride this increases. If trains can dispatch on the holding track to the transfer while a train is on the course the capacity should be able to increase.

[@shanesteinz2875]

Was there today and they are able to load 2 cars at a time while the 3rd is transferring to runway.. It also takes them half the time to load and secure each train vs the old cars..

[@JAXXNCREATED]

love a james c pov 🔥

[@Lucky_9705]

I wish the launch was faster, but the ejector over the top hat and the spike makes up for it

[@travisvanalst4698]

I miss the old loading station.

[@LunaPawzOffical]

When the dude when what the f**k I burst out in laughter 😂😂😂 LMFAO ❤

[@teddym2808]

I was there last year so of course it wasn't open yet, so I am really looking forward to the spike in the back seat next year when I come back to USA for Universal's new park opening and will also do my favourite parks like I always do starting from Florida with a hire car and driving north then east then south and dumping car in LA to fly home (but I might actually do it differently this time and try the Dallas to Sydney flight and just miss California altogether). However, I will say, from a coaster enthusiast's point of view, I do understand why they couldn't add an air time hump after the top hat as they just didn't have enough room, but I wish they adjusted the launch to have a camelback instead, as some new coasters are doing. I think having a wild airtime hump both forwards and backwards during the launch would have truly made it a complete ride, but, it's still way better than it ever was now, despite the launch being a lot less powerful.

From what i am hearing they didnt like the new launch

[@KimStucky]

That’s because coaster enthusiasts gotta complain about something. “Oh the first launch is so weak….I’m gonna miss the 120 hydraulic launch….blah blah blah”. The first launch can’t exactly hit top speed because it isn’t going over the top hat. Not sure why that’s such a hard concept to grasp.

[@OfficialEthanStillCodes]

I’m a coaster enthusiast myself, the first launch was ehh. But the rest of the ride is where it cooks, that made the ride amazing for me.

[@KimStucky]

@@OfficialEthanStillCodes See I get that - considering it’s only 70 some miles per hour compared to the original. But, it really can’t be like the original. The ride has a new layout and comparing 1 launch out of 3 to a ride that only ever had 1 seems so weird to me.

Ouch😢-undetermined length of time for mechanical maintenance

[@stephanieeiche6774]

They should've stuck with the original design.

[@gg2847]

The original launch system that the old dragster used (that had a piece of it fly off the train and nearly kill a woman) accelerated the trains much faster than the new system they put in, so they had to make it a swing launch to account for the lost speed. There’s other types of launches that are as quick that they could’ve put in but they tend to have mechanical issues and lots of downtime just like the old Dragster did so i imagine they didn’t want a repeat of that
