[@AdventuresWithAlex]

I'm living for Sarah's documentary style acting and the music cuts at the beginning 💀

[@HayFatwithSurf]

She was oddly Bri'ish 🍵 (Btw love the vids, Alex.)

[@jeffbizie]

She Def Was S L A Y I N..had that accent down to the T

[@dillanconrad]

I don't know how else to say it. Coaster Studios makes roller coasters sexy. The montage is world class filming, editing and production choices. Damn.

[@davidmcaninch4714]

You and I have different opinions. Every time I watch a Coaster Studios video, he always comes off as overly critical about certain rides, particularly ones that I like, and I’m afraid to give my top 10 coasters because if I do, I feel like he’ll say because of my top 10, I’m not a coaster enthusiast, but just a GP. And we all know that if a coaster enthusiast gets called GP, it’s insulting. And that’s why I’m not going to comment my top 10.

[@dextermorgan1]

​@@davidmcaninch4714What? Who the hell cares what someone else thinks of your top 10 list? Do you even know this guy? What an absurd statement. I bet you get upset when you don't get enough "likes" on a post too, don't you? 😉

[@dillanconrad]

​@@davidmcaninch4714maybe some exposure therapy is needed for this situation. Post your list on here and we can all ignore it because no one really cares one lick what roller coasters you find worthy enough to make a list out of. Dexter is right, if it's about attention seeking, I can assure you, people have more pressing things to worry about. Take a deep breath and enjoy the things you enjoy. That's the true mark of a coaster enthusiast.

[@TheTorturedCoastersDept.]

True tho

[@CoasterStudios]

@@davidmcaninch4714we would never tell someone they aren’t a real coaster enthusiast. if you love roller coasters, that’s all that matters.

[@AdventuresWithAlex]

THE TOP THRILL 2 MONTAGE WENT SO HARD WHAT 🔥

[@sshawauthor4583]

Omg that was AMAZING!

[@3-wayintersectionrunners778]

At 20:24 the person doing a cartwheel in the background caught me off guard and died laughing 🤣

[@Cythrox]

I’m the Ride operator at 11:35 giving the awkward side eye was hoping it made the cut, great video! Thanks for riding our cool ride 😎

[@bryantoliveira2813]

That montage was the coaster equivalent of that hype up video before a huge game that makes you want to run through a wall 🔥🔥🔥

[@Spencer__G]

@3:40 Indeed! So well done, y'all !

[@PolyRocketMatt]

That montage is probably the best one I've ever seen of a coaster/themepark :O

[@iswearnotme]

The montage around 4 minutes was awesome. The slo mo shots were amazing, real quality footage. So excited to go later this year!

[@user-hs3pw3po2g]

5:06 That was the BEST intro to TT2 I have ever seen! So crisp, and close shots of people's reactions.

[@Hayden-it5ss]

22:15 Seeing myself in a coaster studios montage has the be one of the best surprises ever😮 TT2 is a very worthy successor the reverse launch is unlike any other feeling

[@adamdragster]

That's me in the yellow Dragster shirt at 4:45 🤩😁

[@theluigistriker9449]

It was awesome seeing you guys at the end of the day at the park! Your footage of this ride is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for letting me talk to y’all and take a picture with y’all. Can’t wait for the review!

[@CaseFamilyVlogs]

We saw you guys! But lost ya in the crowd. TT2 is AMAZING!!

[@plecoarmy100]

Same! Right at the gate too

[@vonslaught78]

Same lol.

[@VelociCoasting]

Y’all showcased this beautifully

[@aliensallaroundus1126]

I APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU WAITED FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THEIR REVIEWS AND MADE THIS ONE THE BEST SO FAR GREAT JOB GUYS AND GALS

[@dzmo-official]

Gosh y’all nailed the montage. Colors looked soooo clean

[@user-jr6dx2es2x]

Coaster Studios is the Steven’s Toy Reviews of Roller coasters, critical, but loves there fans and what they do

[@brianfoss571]

I'm honestly mad David Attenborough never narrated CP's Running of the Bulls. Thanks for that, Sarah 😅

[@chasemorin915]

That montage was amazing, incredible footage!! 🤩

[@robinomps9121]

So happy seeing you guys riding this! Ever since Lake Eerie Lifestyles stopped doing TT2 videos we have been in the dark, but finally its done!

[@dindog22]

1. Brilliant idea to use the magnum lockers. 2.beautiful gorgeous footage. You have outdone yourselves. Maybe make a documentary about Zamperla next

[@maxhagenauer24]

Here we go! I've been waiting for this moment!

[@MK-ps2jp]

This video makes me happy.

[@jakewist4289]

That's me in the Detroit Lions sweatshirt 😮 @19:16 ❗ I saw you but for some reason I was too nervous to say what's up 😭 and not that you asked but top thrill 2 blew me away and it's my favorite ride in the park currently🎉 Amazing video i love all that both of you do!❤

[@coastermike120]

You guys rock it was great seeing you guys around the park in your natural element and nice that you guys take time for your fans when you’re not working. Just appreciate all you guys do and we watch you guys travel doing what you love!

[@DanTheCaptain]

Man, as a roller coaster enthusiast AND a motorsports fan, CP has absolutely nailed the merch! That coaster layout shirt (mimicking T-shirts with a certain racing series’ calendar with all the featured races and their layouts) is absolute FIRE! Edit: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[@ThrillRider247]

Finally it's here..I've been here waiting for this💯💯😍😍

[@stoppropaganda2573]

So jelly ... thanks guys!

[@gui2980]

Your reviews are always the best!!! Good job you guys 👏 can’t wait to ride TT2 later this season 🏁

[@MrCrash-hz8xy]

Awesome video you guys! This is my favorite video I've watched so far pertaining top thrill 2!

[@ramonortiz1327]

Was so happy to meet you guys up there and enjoy the content!!

[@Givenofficial]

it was so great running into sarah! glad you guys got to come out and experience the ride.

[@CoasterMonkeyStudios]

YOUR CINEMATICS ARE UNMATCHED!!! Great video!!

[@AshleyThePie]

That montage gave me chills, now I'm even more excited for my trip this year.

[@jamesm7517]

Amazing ride, I rode during passholder preview. If you notice when the train goes up the spike it hits the exact same spot every time no matter if it's full, empty or half full. Zamperla did an amazing job, while the entire coaster enthusiasts had virtually no hope in them doing this. Great job Zamperla. Great vlog Taylor and Sarah

[@halesej]

Running of the Bulls! 😂

[@johngrzeschik1769]

Met you on opening day and might of been the most excited I’ve been in a while but the ride is really fun and I love it

[@UKThemeParks]

The shots of Top Thrill 2 are the best I have seen yet, awesome job!

[@barusshka92]

Omg that pin is so cute! 🥹 And that montage?! Sarah you did awesome job! 🤌

[@ThaLion357]

Awesome video from my favorite content creators! Can't wait to get up there this summer because I'm relocating from Georgia to Cincinnati!

[@journeybattlesmith]

Saw you guys at the end of the day after close! Really great meeting you guys!

[@AshleyA93]

So weird to see my favorite roller coaster enthusiasts at my favorite park near home ❤ Wish I was there and met y'all !!

[@jimsmith8797]

They go to CP a lot. It is the best park in the world ❤

[@techpappee]

The beginning montage is perfection, you killed it that! /chefs kiss So glad the update is good even great? Thanks for the update.

[@whitneyg9150]

Saw y'all filming on opening day. Glad your footage came out so amazing! I think my friend and I were row 7 on the same train at night. We also got front the next morning. It was incredible. ❤ Unfortunate it's closed temporarily for updated maintenance but can't wait for it to open back up!

[@Calakapepe]

Thx for the review! Was surprised you didnt have a media day pressence but must not have been in the schedule. But sounds like you got a good experience anyways~

[@gmac9360]

Was great meeting you guys there when you guys were at the frontier town restaurant and tt2 line!

[@diveloopthrills7613]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Amazing video. Taylor and Sarah you guys are incredible people. I love you guys so much. Keep it up.

[@franciscogastelum3449]

Been waiting for this one ☝️🤙✊❤️‍🔥

[@coastercube838]

I saw you guys in the front row. And later I got to take a picture with both of you and it was increadible, thank you guys for saying hi!!

[@philfalstrom2260]

How Cool. I am glad i made it on your video. You are so awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@bobbywaszak4102]

It was nice meeting you guys, we ran into you Saturday at the farmhouse and multiple times throughout the weekend at TT2. My brother was the one with the boot on all weekend. The front row ride Monday morning was awesome.

[@HigSocietyPodcast]

Been waiting for this!!!!

[@LucyLoud2002]

Now is the perfect time for an updated review of the park!

[@CoasterStudios]

It’s in the plans! Not sure when it’ll happen exactly but hopefully sometime this year. There’s a lot of parks on the to do list!

[@austinsoza1907]

Keep the videos coming!!

[@Brodayyy_527]

I want to go to Cedar Point so bad. All your informational videos are so interesting! I dream to become a coaster enthusiast like you guys!

[@TheNextOuting]

That montage was incredibly produced, nice work guys.

[@asherpedley6788]

Going next week i can’t wait!!

[@cameronlightsey6633]

That merch looks great. Cant wait to hit that up in August

[@davidrice6724]

Scheduled to go out there in a couple of weeks, for a self birthday treat.... I'm excited!🎉

[@Heatherofscots]

I saw you guys at the park Monday! I am glad you mentioned the shuffle because it scared the crap out of me. I never got a ride on TTD so I wasn't familiar with that sensation, I thought the train might fly off of the track, lol.

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

The hype is real 🔥

[@Phuzzi]

Was in line for TT2 as you guys were getting off haha. We loved it and are so excited for the 2024 season!

[@brandonmadar7586]

Saw you guys opening day but didn’t meet u u were busy filming love your channel on of my favorites if not my favorite on KZbin!!!!

[@jtbowman132]

Always love an Amusement Insider appearance 🥰 two of my favorite channels crossing paths

[@Jillousa]

I love your silliness. I watched so many top thrill videos it was nice to have some silly spice

[@ThemeParksToTheMax]

after the bts video I appreciate the footage so much more!

[@MikeB-_-]

Yeah I think when you piece the initial reactions with the bts it gives you a different perspective watching this.

[@EddieJiuJitsu]

I think they really captured the spirit of the original, especially the breakdowns and maintenance issues.

[@halesej]

That montage… 😍😍😍😍😍

[@TommonSensePro]

I agree. The best.

[@resasmodeus]

omg i saw you guys in line for steel vengeance the day after opening day but i was too nervous to say hi LOL love the video!!!

[@olondavis3564]

LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR OMG

[@AdamS32828]

The merch is really cool, especially those CP Racing layout posters!! That’s such a smart way to tie coasters into the motorsports theme

[@raymondking2945]

The adrenaline peak drone video has an excellent rock song. The great white by drone video has an excellent edm song. Whatever your home park has, you gotta appreciate it. Shoutout from Ann Arbor, MI.

[@wesmn914]

Great tips !

[@AGprojectmetal]

it did NOT disappoint

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Baby I’m ready to go, again!

[@thecoasterman9410]

I'm the kid who came up to you opening day while you guys were waiting for the ride to open! Nice meeting you!

[@GalcianBTH]

This ride being better then expected has me a lot more hype about my July trip.

[@markosthedragon138]

One question I haven't seen a single person ask, which really surprises me, is now with the absolute success of TT2 and the potential for major expasion from Zamperla in the future, what could be on the horizon for Luna Park at Coney Island? Will they start investing bigtime in it to showcase their new prototype multilaunches and other thrill coasters? Or maybe they'll sell the park off as part of their change in direction, I would really hate to see that though. I just can't imagine they'll continue running it in its current state if they become a major player in the coaster industry.

[@CoasterStudios]

a good point!

[@dzmo-official]

Y’all pulled off such a good strat. Perfect spot to stay, with a short gate rush for that ride! This is like the opening to a roller coaster chess game 😂

[@ryanreed7688]

Damn. I was already hype for the ride, but now you've got me hype for the merch. My poor wallet! First Iron Menace, now this, Cedar Fair's killing it with the merch this year.

[@reiemg]

Saw you guys Sunday, said hi to Sarah. Hi to you too Taylor it was cool to see you guys, I’ve been watching for years.

[@Jillousa]

Definitely getting straps for my glasses to enjoy it more. Going at the end of the month

[@ThisIsMeOTHY]

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND it's already broken and down for repairs! 🤣

[@Patibens]

it seems like a very reliable ride. Zamperla surely did do their name justice, I would say.

[@BigHershhhh9]

Been waiting for this video since I went to php last Wednesday

[@rainbowcowz546]

I was there the monday after opening day! I hopped on millenium w zero wait and my partner said she saw yall walking around while i was riding, I was sad to miss you but I had a good ride so..

[@ericcartman3385]

I wish I wasn't sick that weekend...I would have ran into you guys and pointed at TT2 and said "you should have gotten a B&M".....LOL...!!!

[@tylermarley4059]

Haha! I liked Sarah's comment about the seagulls in the gift shop. Birds and roller coasters do go together really well. Just ask Fabio.

[@Patexer]

23:26 take notes cedar point

[@tahjo7]

😂 🤣 Sarah's intro accent ❤

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

CP always hits it out of the park with merchandise

[@patrickjoseph9158]

My flat out reaction was: “FINALLY!”

[@DuchessFatima]

I said there’s no way I’m riding this. But that montage just made me so excited for it! That looks awesome!

[@Solarcloud]

Ride looks sick

[@danblanchfield4918]

Running of the bulls dates back to 2000 when Millie (I was there because I'm old). Glad it's still a thing!

[@jimsmith8797]

I waited 6 hours opening day 2000 for Millie 😅

[@milesrinesmith141]

Coaster Studios I got my ride on May 1st during Gold pass preview event.

[@pascalhochstrasser1485]

Guys, love your videos (that montage *chef's kiss*). I need to know when you're going to come to Europa Park to check out Voltron. Can't wait to hear what you think about it...

[@briis4n]

I literally saw you there after I got off the ride (maintenance took like almost 2 hours) and I was like “HES HERE??!”

[@aleksthevoyager1260]

Love the Ferrari merch, Taylor! Next year will be our year!

[@donniehallaman7685]

Yea i got to ride it ,, it was stressful as hell , cause it kept breaking down , and we traveled really far and only had so much time but we got it done ,, it was worth it for sure lol kinda-ka got its work cut out for it
