Top Thrill 2 Opening Day Vlog | Cedar Point May 2024

I snuck up to Ohio for the weekend to check out the opening of Top Thrill 2, Cedar Point's reimagining of the original Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster for its opening day. Join me as I check out the park's first day of operation in 2024, get 3 rides on the all-new Top Thrill 2, and encounter some messy opening day operations. Thank you for watching, liking, and subscribing!

If you want to see a more normal day of Fast Lane Plus and if I think it's worth it at Cedar Point, check out my vlog from Labor Day 2023 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmTPf2qge9ZrjJo

I was wondering what the tape on the LSMs was about too. That was there during media day as well. Maybe it's blue paint? Lmao love the post ride costume change!

[@dionavery1122]

Top Thrill Dragster was my favorite at Cedar Point, but now Top Thrill 2 is my favorite😎!

[@cruiseandcoasters]

You have good taste!

[@MessagetoBlue]

Wow this makes me so excited to ride it later this month!! Amazing vlog as always. Cedar point is still one of my all time favorite parks!

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Same! This season is going to be epic. Thanks for watching!!

[@MrCrash-hz8xy]

looks like it goes over the hill faster than what dragster did! I cannot wait to ride this

[@cruiseandcoasters]

You fly over the top hat! The airtime is so good

[@guyt6244]

“An hour with fast lane plus” 😂

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Yeah… 😵‍💫🫠

[@rolandmorrison8352]

Nice video.....I rode it Wednesday front seat...... smooth ride....we waited 15 minutes...we got lucky... getting there extra early....lol

[@Jamsamamsa]

Pretty sure the park just opened yesterday for the season

[@KillerKGames]

There has been media event/preview days. ​@Jamsamamsa

[@AirtimeAxolotl]

I really liked this video

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Thank you!

[@HTflips]

i was here lmao im j lookim for myself

[@martinfirth2849]

Wow. So awesome! Looking so good as does TT2

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Thank you ☺️☺️

[@evanbackstrom5066]

Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait to go a little later in the season!

[@cruiseandcoasters]

You’re going to love it!

[@rossh688]

Having used Platinum Flash pass and Fast Lane, I definitely prefer Flash Pass more. As busy as Great America was on opening day, we never waited in a Flash Pass line more than a few minutes. I definitely prefer the virtual queue system. As far as opening day at Great America goes, the only real issue was the programming of the new POS system being pretty bad.

Can't wait to ride Top Thrill 2, but Millennium Force is my favorite ride with assistance with the safety belt to latch, which it did. Had to use even rows due to my knees

[@Fleetblase07]

I saw Alex doing a video on the press event for it and I really need a passport ASAP so I can ride these kinds of coasters cuz the UK just have the highest coaster currently being 236ft at Thorpe Park with Hyperia and that’s not open for another 18 days (6th may 2024) and currently the one that’s open is the second tallest in the UK is the big one like I would love to see the day the UK gets a Giga

[@TheBlairickProject]

Three times on TT2 in one day!? Outstanding😍 Do you prefer a night ride or the daytime ride?

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Ohhh that’s tough. I’d say night was pretty spectacular 🤩

[@cpfreak75]

Awesome recap! Everything I was hoping to hear about the ride (seats, ops, air time, force) and not ruining the easter egg to Republica. Value your opinion and good to know they have another hit in the park.

[@cruiseandcoasters]

I can’t wait to hear what you think!

[@maddymoester]

The shakiness wasn’t bad. I rode second row on a preview day.

[@TravelwithCarmen]

You’re too cold to think and I saw a guy in shorts and a tee shirt. Greta video. Looks like I need to get back after last summers visit.

[@cruiseandcoasters]

I’d definitely recommend it. It looks like it’s going to be a fantastic season for CP!

[@chelseafn104]

Love your videos. Been watching for awhile. Can you tell me if TT2 is Fat Friendly? Like dimensions of the seats? How are the restraints? I have about a 38” waist but my stomach is around 50”. Curious to know what you think?

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Thank you for watching! TT2 was pretty accommodating. They also have a test seat out front of the entrance. We saw people of all shapes and sizes ride and looks way more accommodating than the original!

[@joeyglad2837]

The TT2 locker area seems very small. Was there ever a line to get a locker?

[@cruiseandcoasters]

There was a line to get a locker, but CP had it fairly organized. We ended up using a magnum locker and skipped the wait to get a locker at TT2.

[@cjspyker]

For the night ride do they close the line an hour before closing or can I show up 20 min before closing?

[@cruiseandcoasters]

I’m not sure what they’ll do going forward, but they tried to close the line on Saturday at 7:55pm (🙄) but after some pushback, they kept the line open until 8pm (park close)

[@whenisdinner2137]

These lucky bastards who's home park is Cedar Point already had the best coaster line up in the world, and then they made top thrill dragster better 😂😂😂

[@MeMyselfAndUs903]

13:42 Do you seriously have your food placed on newspaper that has ink all over it?

[@cruiseandcoasters]

It’s a fake newspaper liner that they line all plates with at this restaurant.

[@LadyGigglesnort]

This gives me anxiety!

[@cruiseandcoasters]

You can safely watch from home 😂🫶

[@travisvanalst4698]

That BBQ restaurant is absolutely terrible. I’ve never had a good experience there.

[@Ghostattackss]

After visiting Cedar Point in 2018 (and not doing TTD, Steel Vengeance, Maverick etc... don't ask lol), now I MUST go back! Maybe in 2025

[@cruiseandcoasters]

Yes!! Plan that visit and let’s gooo! 🫶

[@joeschultz1681]

Should just call it something else because that is not fast lane…rip off

[@tahjo7]

I have a formidable contender for best airtime moment, Fury 325 on a hot day in August, when it's running 102mph. It hits the 1st trimmed airtime hill with such amazing speed that the trims have trouble keeping up. Idk, it's pretty close 🤏

[@AirtimeAxolotl]

I have to ride fury on a warm day, when i rode it it was 25 degrees

[@cruiseandcoasters]

I’ll have to check this out when I visit Carowinds this summer!
